#48 - Nic Higham & Paul Dobson - The Ungrasping Nature of Reality - Nonduality Podcast

The Nonduality Podcast - A podcast by Nic Higham, Nondual Therapy & Mentoring

Here's another episode of the nonduality podcast. What is nonduality? What is life? Who am I?  Our usual orientation is one of being a separate limited ego entity within a boundless universe, feeling very small and powerless, always craving a deep connection with the entirety of what is. We seek a way to heal an imagined divide through clinging and pushing away certain experiences.    There’s another way: waking up to the reality of non-grasping. In truth, reality does not grasp nor reject any manifestation of itself.    As the great nondual commentators have always said, you are open and undivided awareness - reality itself - and within you, as the great meditator, are many objects of meditation which are nothing but you. Rather than trying to accept and accommodate you can simply notice the actuality of your existing ungrasping nature. There’s nothing to remove or include. Nirvana, or freedom, already is, but you've tricked yourself into thinking that you're not this unbounded awareness.    If you investigate the quality of your direct experience, you’ll find that it’s saying nothing but “This”. Like the sky it's open and completely ungraspable, yet it appears tangible and split up. It’s an ever-moving river, always shifting, always changing, completely fresh and new, while utterly constant and dependable.    Nonduality author and nondual therapist  Nic Higham's website: https://nisargayoga.org/  Music by Scott Buckley - https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/
