Thanks Roger, Ramesh, Nisargadatta!

I very much appreciate the break down between reactivity being biological versus psychological.The horizontal and the vertical. Thank you

With all due respect, most non-duality teachers are promoting a spiritual bypass that ignores the most important biological reality in the body-mind of most, if not all, human beings today - the impact of early childhood stress from physical and emotional neglect and abuse on brain development. Almost everyone in western countries were abandoned by their mothers to go back to work during critical neurological development, in the first three years of life especially. This is the root of the problem and grieving with a deeply empathetic therapist must occur as a biological stress release response to bring the human being sustainably out of a chronic stress state. The truth naturally emerges from this stable state. The best information on this is from the expert Erica Komisar, a psychoanalyst who is the most important voice on this topic in the world today. Her videos are freely available on YouTube. Love

Interesting that up to date conditioning on patience didn’t arise for Nisargadatta. Isn’t blame one of the forms of suffering that’s supposed to go away?

It seems like a contradiction that the teaching says that you will always feel free will but you can live separate from doership. I never get that
