Opening points:
• People get polarized in different perspectives. The more they focus
exclusively on their perspective, the more justification for it they find.
• Learning to appreciate paradox; accommodating different viewpoints within a
broader perspective.
• Enlightenment as Totality. Only Totality can realize Totality.
• Totality has no difficulty reconciling paradoxes.
• Getting comfortable with paradox might be conducive to our realization of
Totality.
Examples of contradictory realities:
• free will vs. determinism
• personal self vs. no-self
• Are we already enlightened, or must enlightenment be attained?
• Is practice an aid or an obstacle?
• Is the guru model dead?
• Does non-duality imply that there are no stages of spiritual growth?
• direct vs. progressive paths
• patience vs. determination on the spiritual path
Additional points covered:
• Acting in accordance with your own experience, not a concept of someone
else’s.
• Absolute reality does not negate relative realities.
• Radically different realities at different levels of nature’s functioning
are perfectly compatible with one another.
• Incorporating universal and individual perspectives – ocean and wave,
boundless and boundaries.
• My experience in doing BatGap.
Recorded at the Science and Nonduality Conference, October 27, 2019.
