Jim Newman holds meetings about nonduality, in a style that has come to be known as uncompromising or radical nonduality. This style began with the book The Open Secret by Tony Parsons, and along with Tony, Jim is the arguably most prominent person speaking of nonduality in this way. Whereas some approaches to nonduality advocate the following of a path in order to eventually realise that we are not separate from the rest of existence, the uncompromising perspective sees this as mistaken, the fundamental idea being that because reality is already non-dual, whole, and undivided, there is nothing anyone could ever do to move closer to or further away from the wholeness of what is. Today, we explore the intricacies that somehow seem to arise out of this very simple message.

We live in a world filled with suffering, where attempts to help have been split into largely separate scientific and spiritual communities. As a spiritually engaged neuroscientist I hope to communicate how these seemingly separate world views can be reconciled. I produce weekly videos on topics at the intersection of neuroscience and wellbeing, including consciousness, meditation and psychedelic science.

Dr. James Cooke:
Neuroscientist, writer & speaker, focusing on perception, meditation, psychedelics, mental health and wellbeing.

    Well done Dr. Cooke; you’ve gone where angels fear to tread.
  • @Lisa.Martin_AL
    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
  • @ptanji
    Such a refreshing message. All the practices summed up in three simple words. This is it.
  • @christinaforras
    Jim opens with “This is it,” and I burst into laughter 🤣❤
  • @queryqueryqueryquery
    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.
  • @advaitawho
    Jim has the greatest style in Radical Non Duality! 😁☯👍
  • @everest001

  • @nicht-etwas61
    Thank you, Jim. Yes, there is no Ping-Pong. There's just "Ping".😂
  • @hermansohier7643
    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 .
  • @ACIM_
    Great chat Really enjoyed listening to Thanks 👌🏻
  • @robinstarbuck211
    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!!
  • @onelove1968
    The 'self' doesn't fall away. There's simply just a clear realization that it's completely illusory. Never existed to begin with.
  • @voovpauli
    I understand that there is nothing to understand yet i am totally interested in this subject matter.
