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.
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.
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 behaviour 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.
There are many Nondual teachings in the world and they are the most direct and essential teachings regarding consciousness and the nature of who we are. Yet we cannot truly hear or embody them without first clearing our bodies and individualities. We can only interpret and digest teachings at the level of the individual mind.
The contracted consciousness and energies cannot absorb and experience the teachings consciously and ascend.
So we must first descend and work at the level of the individual mind and body so that the contracted mind and body, both subtle and gross, are freed up to flow naturally and authentically as individual potential.
The work I'm pointing to is not to re-identify or re-program your unconscious conditioning, but to de-program it altogether by making the conditioning — which almost constantly seeks to meet unmet needs — conscious, through inquiring into the buried contractions and sensations in the body.
This will reduce or stop the compulsion of the contracted self to identify with objects in order to avoid feeling or expressing certain parts of who you are. By making conscious how the contracted subject seeks objects to keep dualistic perception intact, by making all this unconscious programming conscious, you will begin to dissolve the subject-object experience. Consciousness is then freed to move and rise to a place where you can truly hear and embody these highest teachings of consciousness as I AM.
