Aloneness to Oneness - Best Life Changing Spiritual Documentary Film on Non-duality

during my travels in india

i met a man at an ashram he was about 45

50.

a little older than everyone else

he tells me a story

he had retired and he was

traveling on a motorcycle with his wife

at the time

coming behind them

a truck ran into them

and it killed his wife

and he was

badly injured almost died

told he wouldn't necessarily walk again

in a coma for a while

when he came out of it and found out

what had happened

he

naturally was devastated and

heartbroken and

physically broken

and he knew that his road ahead of

rehabilitation and

physically and psychologically was going

to be hard

he had one friend who was a yoga teacher

who said we're going to get you started

on the path to recovery

so she came over and

threw yoga helped him be able to walk

again

after he could walk and

regained his ability to move around

he decided to head to india

and

explore some more yoga and while he was

there he

started to learn about meditation and

hinduism and buddhism

so he told me that you know he never

would have

thought to ever go down this path he

would have probably laughed at anyone

who

goes to india to find themselves

you know i said did you

get what you were hoping for

and he said

even though i lost my wife

i've never been happier

because it put me

on this path

i remember joking with my friend in high

school

that

can you think about not thinking we

noticed that the mind never stops

thinking

and we noticed that you really can't

think about not thinking

and that was a

kind of a question that

plagued me for a long time

there's a greater wisdom

that comes

when we're not clouded in thought when

we're not lost in thought when we're

addressing exactly what's happening and

not some mentally constructed

simulation of what's actually happening

we

always see movies and they have this

beginning and end but any movie you see

something happened before it started we

just don't see it

so we fall for this illusion that things

have this beginning and end

for a long time physics believed that

there was a beginning to the universe

and only now they're beginning to say

there might have been something before

that

we get attached to certain

people and

forms and

things and situations

the truth is nothing less the truth is

things will always change

when i was an ad man in new york

i had a unique perspective of

how

marketing and advertising works and how

it creates

demand

and how it influences people to

want products they would never normally

have wanted

and i was responsible for a lot of that

[Music]

more money

more clothes

more

luxury items more

cars vacations

nicer home nicer furniture

we all know this feeling of you want

something you get it you feel this rush

of dopamine and then very soon after you

crash and you want something else

the native americans have one of the

most beautiful concepts in the world

they have 10 000 different languages and

all these tribes and none of them have a

word for ownership or possession

they don't understand the concept of how

something can belong to one person

it's really a man-made legal

you can't

truly own anything

what you really realize is that

so much of what people get obsessed

about and go crazy over is just not

important not necessary

yeah i i suffer because i

crave things that i don't have

and i

have an aversion to things that i don't

want

when you can just

step back and see the big picture and

know that good things will come

good things will go bad things will come

bad things will go

then your happiness doesn't

rely on any kind of external situation

that's the key to lasting happiness

a lot of people

in our modern materialistic world

think that success equals happiness

that if they just get this position or

this raise or

this bonus they'll be happy

but personal experience as well as

scientific studies have shown that once

people's basic needs are met

more money

more success

bigger titles

do not make us happy

we almost

fail to see

the blessings we have

and we focus

solely on what someone else has we don't

have

[Music]

one

book i read was called becoming your own

therapist by a high buddhist llama

and that's to me what i found that

spirituality really is

when you realize

that

life is an illusion that

everything is one

that everything has meaning because we

project meaning onto it

that you can

kind of awaken from this

rollercoaster of life

step off

and just appreciate

in the marvel at the you know

engineering of the roller coaster or the

complexities of life instead of feeling

so

attached to it and consumed by it

we all have spiritual moments

throughout our lives

that first moment you see a sunset

or a flower

maybe a piece of art

and you just say

wow

and and in that really true awe

and wonder you know that childlike

wonder that

school's usually beat out of us

that is the moment we're all

fully present

fully alert

fully appreciative

and and there's a

a real connection

made between

the experience and the experiencer

god and the universe are really

interchangeable

words

the universe loves us god loves us have

faith in the universe have faith in god

it's all it's all the same i mean if if

god is everywhere then god is the

universe and

you don't have to believe in god to

believe in the universe

i am god but so are you

so is everybody

so treat everyone like god

including yourself

and remember

[Music]

even though you're god

you're no better than anyone else

[Music]

a wise man

once said

the universe created itself to

experience itself

through us

names are useful in that

they help you

know who someone's talking to

but they can also

be a deception

because the truth is we're all just the

same we're all one

who you are

who you think you are the the

personality you've constructed and that

other people have told you you are

your name your class

religion

whether it's a sexuality or a

gender or

nationality

this physical body

is

your house

you are

the inhabitant

and

the you i'm talking about

is the life force energy

the

conscious awareness which there is no

physical part of the brain or body

that science has

found that is responsible for

consciousness

and when we focus

on these

labels and identify

with our

temporary

experience

we mistake

our deepest sense of self with some

temporary experience

and we see people as labels

instead of infinite

beings of potential

and it allows for a dehumanizing

of each other

if you were to look

at human skin

under an electron microscope

you would not be able to tell

where the human being

begins and ends

[Music]

there is no

fine barrier between the person

and the universe

there is just

a flow

from one to the next

and the only reason we perceive

separateness is because of the

limitations

of our senses

[Music]

human beings can only see

[Music]

0.0001 percent

of

the spectrum of light

and we can only hear point zero zero

zero one percent of the spectrum of

sound

if we could see

infrared and if we could see ultraviolet

and x-rays and energy and

hear

the whole spectrum of sounds

the universe would appear very

differently

there would be no empty space

it would be so full

we would just see this sea of energy

and there would only be oneness

there is no

separate you

no separateness

there's a deep interconnectedness

there's only oneness

there's a difference between

loneliness and aloneness

loneliness is when being alone causes

suffering

but aloneness

is ultimately

recognizing

others as yourself

when you realize

that you are one with everything

[Music]

all suffering

exists in the mind

no matter what happens to you

[Music]

no matter how terrible

there can be peace

you are not your trauma

you are not your circumstances

[Music]

you are that

eternal

unchanging

light of consciousness

your true nature cannot be hurt

your body can be hurt your property can

be lost

[Music]

but nothing can touch the true you

space

silence

and

our

pure conscious awareness

are similar

in that nothing can alter those states

you can never freeze space or burn space

or

alter

space

in any way it's eternal

and unchanging

this is the nature

of

our true selves

the realization comes that

it's not your life you can't possess

something you are

you are life

all the

knowledge and wisdom

is in each and every one of us

you don't have to read any book or

belong to any religion

this is

a universal

and

available to everyone

way of living

never forget that every moment is a

miracle you know that's that's the goal

of spirituality is to

never

forget that

death is the beginning of the

last great

adventure and

exploration of humanity it's every

person

gets to go explore this thing that no

living person knows about

death and of itself is a beautiful

process it's it's like being born

death is the great equalizer no matter

how rich or how poor we're all going to

that same direction

everybody lives on through

life living on

we're all

the same life force energy

[Music]

and that

that'll go on forever

life will go on experiencing

the universe

as

the universe intended

[Music]

we've all been everybody

and we'll all be everybody

[Music]

it's it's about enjoying the good times

while they're here

and knowing they won't last

and when the bad times come

we uh

we know they won't last either

[Music]

[Music]

imagine a movie

where the camera is shaking all the time

[Music]

it would be

the worst movie you've ever seen

you could barely

focus on anything that's going on

and you'd probably walk out in five

minutes

stillness is

everything

an opportunity

to observe

our chaotic mind

and allow it to settle down

no matter what else is happening

[Music]
