Dangers of Non-Duality - Jim Newman, Simply This DSci Pod 188

Jim Newman is a Non-Duality non-teacher who meets the paradox of
living by offering the idea that there is nothing at all at his
YouTube channel, @JimNewman01 . This is one of the most
perplexing conversations we've ever had on the podcast, and is
somewhere between a dadaist art piece, an Andy Kaufman
performance, and an Andy Warhol show. It is best to sit back,
allow it to wash over you, and to embrace for a moment that there
is no there, there.
