inquiry?” And so there's an example of like the nondual goal being
sidetracked to some other goal, some other purpose. Someone
bends nondual teaching to their own personal purpose. And so if a
person has gone through those particular teachings, where does
the person get those pre-requisites, like how does that happen?
Well. in the classical world of Advaita Vedanta, the other practices
that someone would do... like there's the karma-kanda and the
jnana-kanda. The karma-kanda is all the worldly exoteric
practices of Hinduism, and so you're doing like devotional
practices, you're doing good works, you're learning to be content
with your lot in life and all kinds of other stuff. So by the time
you're pretty good at all that stuff then it's proper in that culture to
begin nondual training. In fact, you would do it after you have
discharged your obligations to your family as well. So that keeps
one from using nonduality to accomplish those other goals.

synchronicity until I trusted it completely.
GREG GOODE: Yes, and after a while you can't pull anything
apart, you can't pull one thing apart for one thing to be
synchronist with another, like what two things would you look at?
They like sear together, it becomes all awareness. So I've had
those synchronistic moments before, but after these nondual
teachings took their toll, that stopped because everything was
synchronist at that point.
WIZARD: Yes, everything becomes…
GREG GOODE: It doesn't make any real sense to me to have one
thing appear then say that that was synchronistic with something
else, like they weren't even separate anyway.
WIZARD: Right, right.
