It’s not uncommon that someone might argue, “You say self is a thought, but no-self is also a thought, isn’t it?” Or, “Isn’t nonduality another belief?” Everything is a thought or belief when it’s a thought or belief. So yes, no-self can be a belief exactly like self can be a belief.But what’s between self and no-self? What’s here that’s not a thought or belief? That’s where these words attempt to point and it’s really all that matters. I also discuss how I used to talk about paradigm shifts and sea changes, but how it doesn’t look that way anymore. What I’m pointing to now is not a paradigm at all. It’s what’s before paradigms.***Join me for a 7-day silent retreat in beautiful Gatlinburg, Tennessee.The retreat will provide a supportive space for you to steep in your essential being. You’ll immerse in what’s always here, unchanging, beyond the pull of thoughts, feelings and identities, in the absence of everyday distractions and conditioning. This retreat was designed for those who feel called by the still, unchanging silence that is your true nature.  Prolonged silence with others is a very powerful way to rediscover and devote to the truth of who you are. See more at dramyjohnson.com/silentretreatThe post EP323: Everything is a thought…except what’s not  appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.
