Bringing Relationship Back Into Nonduality
Awakening is not just about the self, it’s also about how we relate to everything
Welcome to Nondualship with Toshi Matsunaga
Relationships have always been an essential part of the Nondual path, yet this aspect is often overlooked or dismissed, especially by those who have been conditioned to repress their emotions.
By rediscovering and reintegrating the relational dimension, we open the door to deeper connection and authenticity, allowing us to fully embody and live the freedom that these teachings point to.
"Awareness is not just a vast, open, empty space, it is also a focused, close, and intimate relationship with everything."
Toshi
Through discovering the unconscious programming that fuels spiritual Seeking and clings to Finding, we will see these patterns for what they really are.
By uncovering the root of suffering, we will allow and transcend the resistance to who we truly are.
"Being Aware of NOT Being Aware"
We must become aware that we are not aware of everything.
Buried emotions do not come up into our awareness.
Much of the conditioning that drives our behavior is unconscious.
Therefore, a non-dual pointer like “Being aware of being aware” is incomplete and can even be detrimental, as it may further suppress emotions.
