#50 - John Astin - From Conceptual Fantasy to Perpetual Actuality - Part 1

Paul Dobson speaks with nonduality author John Astin. We have language and concepts to describe the myriad things we experience, including ourselves. But the inquiry in the exploration of nonduality is: let's start with present experience. What is life experientially? What is the actual experience of this moment? That's all we can actually investigate - what's actually here. After all, it can't be denied that something's present, actual and palpable. What is it that we're experiencing when we describe any element of life or existence? There's really no answer to these questions, ultimately. But it's powerful to see that we don't arrive at a final conclusion when we feel our way into what's here, what's present. What's actually palpably here is just here, with no precedent. And so, in a sense, that which is present is without context. It's free of any prior knowledge framework to contextualise it; the starting point is 'This.' It’s really fun and illuminating to come back to the barebones actuality of this instant, of this explosion of reality. It's a state of constant becoming and opening. But it actually never quite becomes anything definite because this emerging doesn't stop. And it's astonishing to just feel into the expressions of life this way, including what we take ourselves to be. Our beingness is alive and always flowing. So how could we define anything that we call ourselves? We can't grasp this self-sense because there's not something solid or fixed to hold. Just look and see: the ways we categorise people, places, and things is a nice fantasy, but it's not an actuality.

The most intimate fact of experience - Zoom meeting 130823 - Dr Daniel Shapiro, Bohdan Harik and Nic Higham

The most intimate fact of experience - Zoom meeting 130823 - Dr Daniel Shapiro, Bohdan Harik and Nic Higham

This is a clip from the weekly Non-duality Zoom group with Dr Daniel Shapiro, Bohdan Harik and Nic Higham. Join the group here: https://nisargayoga.org/group/ In our daily lives, we often find ourselves caught up in the past or the future, in our memories or our anticipations. We get entangled in our thoughts, emotions, and narratives about who we are, what we've done, and what we hope to achieve. Amidst this constant mental chatter, the simple fact of being present, of just being here and now, often gets overlooked. Yet, when we pause and truly tune into the present moment, we find something profound: a sense of aliveness, a palpable presence that permeates experience. This presence is not an abstract concept or a fleeting sensation. It is the very essence of our being, the foundational reality upon which all experiences are built.  Our very nature is always available, always shining forth, even when obscured by the clouds of thought and emotion. Recognising this presence is not about adding something to our experience but about subtracting – peeling away the layers of misconception and misidentification to reveal the luminous actuality of our true Self. This presence is closer than any thought, emotion, or perception. It is the ground of all experience, the silent witness to everything that arises and passes away. When we touch this presence, we touch the very heart of reality.
