Uncompromising Nonduality with Jim Newman | Living Mirrors #120

Well done Dr. Cooke; you’ve gone where angels fear to tread.

One of the best interviews with Jim ever heard. The clarifications of the non message really quite illuminating and to no one! Thank you Dr. Cook

Thanks for this, I've watched many interviews with Jim Newman and the host here asked many insightful questions and managed to get quite a lot more out of Jim than most interviewers.

Jim has the greatest style in Radical Non Duality! 😁☯👍

Such a refreshing message. All the practices summed up in three simple words. This is it.

Jim opens with “This is it,” and I burst into laughter 🤣❤

Absolutely love Jim Newman! <3

Thank you, Jim. Yes, there is no Ping-Pong. There's just "Ping".😂

The 'self' doesn't fall away. There's simply just a clear realization that it's completely illusory. Never existed to begin with.

Well done. Excellent interview!

Great interview. Well done and thanks.

As it is ❤

Great chat Really enjoyed listening to Thanks 👌🏻

How can the person wants something if it doesn't exist ? It's the believe in a person that does it and there's no one wanting or not wanting anything .

Great interview! This host was really able to drill down, as much as is possible with this subject, to the root of Jim's uncompromising sharing of nonduality. This allowed a much deeper discussion. It was obvious that you are very familiar with Jim's message and that you did your homework which enabled you to ask more insightful questions than most. Though it's understandable why they do so, I have grown weary of interviews in which a good portion is spent having the guest go through their 'awakening story'. You simply touched on it briefly for context, then moved on.

I understand that there is nothing to understand yet i am totally interested in this subject matter.

I just love the message and Jim's eloquent delivery but I too must agree that not being able to hear the questioner as well as a brief summary of the question is fruckstrating!!

The refutation of a relativistic model for recognizing disparities in stress levels and how that is likely to contribute to (non)self-related insight comes across as extremely privileged to me. And yet I can’t deny that what he says is ultimately true. I think it’s best seen as a framework that fills in a niche, and it seems to work for some people. I’m reminded of the Dzogchen system, where while there is a deep understanding of the unity of emptiness/form, there is still an emphasis on dualistic preliminary practices, because they don’t want to give people a pointing out instruction that doesn’t transmit clearly enough to have the importance of the insight received. I think Douglas Harding said somewhere “the voice of the devil says ‘so what?’” But if it works, it works 🤷‍♂️. Paradox.

Since Jim, as far as I know, doesn't offer us an email address, just a phone number (I'm not going to call him for something as trivial as what follows) I'm going to offer him a suggestion here. I enjoy watching the various and sundry "meetings," but only the monologues at the beginning. Once people start asking questions and commenting it's often as not very difficult to hear what they are saying. If there was a microphone available for them the "message" would reach a much wider audience and hopefully teach a lot of people how to stop wasting their time and/or following teachers of bogus teachings.

Well done! 😊
