Non duality and the Three Principles: listener question
I was interested in your work because it seems you are a kind of bridge between the 3 Principles and Non-duality worlds. I spent many years in the non-duality worlds, and have worked closely with a very kind hearted teacher and friend for the last 3 or so years. There were many profound and beautiful seeings and experiences, but somehow my work with him would always get me kind of stuck in very heavy mental structures. My sense is that the depth and profundity of his "transmission," if you will was so profound and loving and deep that is would stir up all my resistance at once,, cause the mind to spin out after really big openings or "popping throughs" So I my housemate brought me the 3 Principles around the beginning of the Pandemic, something eventually took with that, and it did help lighten things, and it did continue the work I was doing with the non-dual teacher. What I felt was lacking in the 3 Principles community was the embracing and empathy of the pain in the human experience. So in a way I found both paths lacking and excelling in separate areas.
Mostly I was able to kind of do both, but I ran into some issues with this too, and it's been a source of confusion and some temporary mental illness. It's like my thinking mind kind of split and got confused about what's true etc etc... and a lot of fear and confusion have come up.
I think where I'm at now is underneath it all I get to trust me, and if I oscillate between the two, then that is what I need to do for now. I think I do realize they are essentially pointing to the same place, with a slightly different approach. We are all so unique from one another, there must be a wide variety of ways to reach freer and freer understandings of being in the human condition. Anyways, I was hoping you could at least briefly comment on your understanding of the difference and similarities between the 3 Principles and Non-duality. I am curious if you consider yourself more in the non-duality world, or neither and what you got out of your time in the 3 Principles and what lead you onto your work you do now?
Thank you so much for your offerings, you are truly offering a positive service to humanity.
