Realizing No Self

Second recognition was through gardening . Everyone always complimented my green thumb but I saw that I wasn’t doing anything . The plants grow . No little individual thinker inside the plant, just like me .

Hi Marshall, I had an awakening 14 years ago and have been integrating into daily life since. I was raised in a very devout and dualistic Catholic family. My first taste of non duality occurred and was interpreted through Advaita and Buddhism. I always struggled even before the awakening with what I was taught as a Christian. I just wanted to send you my heartfelt thank you for clarifying so much of that confusion. I really enjoy your books, they have resolved those thorny inner conflicts I had with Christianity and the non dual understanding. It’s allowed me to be at peace and love the true heart, meaning and message of Christianity and Christ. For that I can’t thank you enough.

Gratitude 🙏 ❤

My first recognition of no self was simply looking at my preferences in ice cream. Chocolate or vanilla? I choose vanilla. Did I choose though? No. Vanilla I like, but I didn’t make the decision to like it, it just is . Just like everything.

Thank you Marshall for sharing your Liberation with us. What a great revelation. ❤️🙏

Thank you for telling us of your experiences it was very helpful.

I think most people have already experienced no separate self many times, and it just wasn’t that big of a deal. If you’ve ever “lost yourself” in a book or a movie, or been “in the flow”, where it seemed like your body was on autopilot and was just doing its thing with no “you” controlling anything, then guess what. That was the experience of no separate self. Congratulations! On the flip side, make a mistake in front of an audience and you’ll quickly become very conscious of your self, i.e., self-conscious. Once you’ve seen that the sense of self comes and goes, it becomes easier and easier to see through the illusion.

I think I understand what happened to me I saw through the illusion of the separate self but I still clung to awareness or consciousness the last of the five aggregates so didn’t dissolve into everything. The journey is personal for everyone and I can see from your video that life continues to offer awakenings, if you are not ready now another will come. Also as you said it could be grace or simply a mystery how awakenings happen.

I just recently discovered this channel. I have listened to many of your messages, what a wonderful message! I came from more of a traditional conservative Christian background. I’m not lonely, but I often feel alone in my new found belief. Does anyone know of any church or even online organization / groups that I could join in and share ideas? I am in Northern California.

Powerful insight into how revealations transcend religion while also fulfilling religious traditions.

Thanks Marshall Have a good Christmas.

Thank you Marshall. 🙏🙏🙏

Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Very helpful thank you.

well for me i never bought in to the Christian teachings. .....i always loved the Buddhist outlook

Hi, Marshall. I love your talks! Are you familiar with Rupert Spira?

❤️

Marshall, I don’t know if you have run across the writings of Bernadette Roberts, but she has written extensively about her experience of egoless unity and then in a “no self” condition…. Ron

Once "no self" is revealed the whole narrative becomes a distorted entertainment.
