This is so good I listened to it twice!

[@sarahbolgerBolgy]

Beautifully articulated as always Robert. Love these videos. Thank you

Great Robert! I love the gravesite and you have a gift for putting the nail in the coffin.

[@RobertSaltzman]

Thanks, Ellen. I like Leonardo's grave too. The hat is a ceramic copy of his customary signature hat.

Thank you Robert. These talks are very helpful. The split in ourselves that you talk about is rarely mentioned in "spiritual" circles. It's a psychological concept, so non-dualists and other spiritualists have no way of handling it. Thanks again...

[@RobertSaltzman]

I am happy to hear that, Daneil. As long as there is interest in this kind of thing and questions sent to me, I will soldier on. LOL

[@Daneiladams555]

@@RobertSaltzman I see you as a fellow artist philosopher. thanks

[@bubbhaspeaks537]

I replayed the words you said starting at 00:54 lots of times. "...you have been convinced you should judge yourself as to good or bad. That's what you have to snap out of." If that's all I heard, my underdog would have taken the day off and felt justified. But I listened to everything you said, I'm heading to work and it ain't 'cause the top dog ordered me. It's because I listened to all of me. Wondering if it's the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do is silly. It's too late lol. Thanks Robert.

[@RobertSaltzman]

Thank you, Bubbha. I see you heard that. Around 13:00 it is: no split--it's all me. Be well.

Good old Fritz.

You used the word self integrity . As you were speaking one voice in my mind was saying : " you're talking about integration " . It's a better term that " awake " because it can be explaIned as you just did .

[@RobertSaltzman]

Thank you, Marjorie. I had not thought of it that way. I like that spin on it.
Yes, "awake" is vague and always needs filling in. I started talking that way as a kind of dissent against the use of that term to mean things like the so-called "knowledge" (jnana) that asserts that "I" don't really exist, or brains don't really exist, or only consciousness is real, and that entire world of taken for granted. run-of-the-mill spirituality jazz.
