Rachael on Tony Parsons, Jim Newman & Falling Away

Check out Rachaels YouTube channel:    / @rach_non-duality   What happens after nonduality's "falling away"? Rachel, shaped by encounters with Jim Newman and Tony Parsons, describes a life with no doer, no free will, and no one left to analyze a feeling. In this episode of Talking to Source, Hans talks with Rachel about the sudden, unplanned collapse of her sense of being a separate person — no method, no meditation technique, no gradual path. They cover Tony Parsons' idea of "Divine Puppets," why emotions stopped being "signposts" and became raw waves that simply pass, the illusion of free will in the face of suffering and war, and how this "falling away" echoes Advaita Vedanta's ancient Mahavakya, Tat Tvam Asi — "this is it."
