non attachment the thoughts are seen as transient. What notices these ideas and concepts? what is noticing is who you are.Consciousness notices itself it’s vastness
see’s itself.
This is one of the genuine and classic discussion I have ever seen. He has indepth knowledge. Thanks for uploading this..
When he talks about being insulted towards the end of the video, he doesn’t make it too clear. I think what he means is that if someone insults you, it’s a projection of who they are. How it affects you is a projection of who u are. If your ego is controlled, there’s nothing anyone can say to hurt you. This is nowness, not constantly in every ‘moment’ worrying about what you did or what you’ve got to do. If u do that u never really experience ‘the moment’. Thats why meditating is so important.
Michael makes spiritual awakenning deceivingly hard to grasp.

@BozCut Dear Bozcut, I used to think it was hard too. I tried to stop my mind for 15 years to no avail. But I can do it now. If you are truly serious about being Free, read THE POWER OF NOW by Eckhart Tolle. He will show you the way to do it. The key is to sharply observe the mind. If you do that, involuntary thoughts stop immediately. Be as alert as a cat watching a mousehole. If thoughts continue, it means that you need to be more alert, more aware. You can do it right now.
@davfritz ROFL
@abhishekthedon nothing wrong with that, lol
what do u mean ?
man! whatever he says is already present in the teachings of the buddha, to the extent that he could have easily taken all the ideas presented here from buddhism.
Too many light bulb moments caused him to go bald
I wish I could stop thinking, just for five minutes, but I find it so hard. I think I need to find out a way to do it, or maybe I just need to practice more!
Being in the moment occurs when you are totally aware and able to open yourself to your surroundings. In that moment, you free yourself from every other moment. No regrets or shame of things past. No fear or anticipation of things to come. You are really free and able to bring your presence to bear on dealing with what you have come up against.
Consider that you are on a journey and no matter where you started or where you are going, if you do not pay attention to where you are, you are nowhere,
This is nothing new, it sounds like he’s read the book “A Course in Miracles” that was written in the 1977, inspired by the Christ Jesus to the Author Helen Schucman and typed by William Thetford. My personal opinion is that It’s a very good read and can be very enlightening. Book number: ISBN 978-0-670-86975-6
@finehomemadewine Well yeah. In he said that our thoughts are not important or real. I agree that they are not real. But I do not agree that they are not important. It’s because of our thoughts and desires that we move to understand ourselfs and the world. At least that’s what I think.
And thanks! Good journey to you to my friend :D.
@poopoop121212 Exactly 🙂 and we don´t even have to look into history to realize that- everydays relationships between people show it clearly enough !-).
About the other half- my English isn´t very good, but I didn´t hear him say anything like that. (??).. Did You listen to both parts?
Anyway- happy jeurney to You and everyone :-).
@finehomemadewine Well certainly trying to force someone towards your own beliefs never led to anything good. History has told us that. But arguing and questioning each others thinking can give someone new insights about themselfs and the world around them. In other words, we inspire eachother. If we stop caring about these things, i think we might actually hinder our own development.
Does anyone know who is this person and are there any more videos, talks or books by him? Thanks.
@poopoop121212 I am not sure you got it right. ..Arguing with anyone, trying to model others around our fantasies and pushing oneself forward NEVER led to anything good and I guess we´ve all seen that 🙂
So what happens if everyone believes this?
That everyone perceives everything as inpersonal?
And everyone stops caring about the future or the past?
In this condition we can perceive very clearly but there’s a catch right?
In this condition we cannot act upon what we perceive.
Or maybe it’s not that we can’t but simply don’t desire to anymore.
Somehow this doesn’t appeal to me at all.
@meghan42 you wrote: “My comment was more in response to someone else who seemed a bit gleeful that we don’t have to worry about our thoughts and actions”
That is precisely the original point I was making. This man’s teaching is wrong and dangerous. My second comment was of course meant ironically.
We misunderstood each other meghan42; it seems we actually agree.
All the best 🙂
@Drastam . I do agree with you Drastam in that thoughts and actions do impact others. My comment was more in response to someone else who seemed a bit gleeful that we don’t have to worry about our thoughts and actions. On the other hand, I can only be responsible for my own actions and I find that awareness brings right action.
@meghan42 I think your point is a bit of a fudge. He is not talking about a world of realised beings. He is talking about our actual world.
If we were all realised conscious beings your point might be correct; but we are not.
Meantime our thoughts & actions do impact on others.
@Drastam – I don’t think that is quite the correct interpretation. See above.
We don’t have to be concerned about the effects of our actions on others if we are living in awareness — because out of that presence of mind, right action will follow and this will not likely include insulting or obnoxious behavior. A loving disposition naturally arises from awareness.
Spiritual health does not have to be religious.. it’s important to acknowledge that.
its nice that also the doctors are involved in the patients relationship with God, angels, the other side and so on, because I think it will amplyfy the natural healing energy in every patient. Beautiful!
