Is the Direct Path Actually Progressive? | Rupert Spira on Awakening Simon Mundie 2025-08-17 | Is the Direct Path really as simple and instantaneous as it sounds — or is it, in practice, a form of progressive path in disguise?In this clip, Rupert Spira breaks down the essence of non-dual meditation and the so-called "Direct Path" to awakening. We explore the illusion of the separate self, the difference between being and ego, and how thoughts, emotions, and sensations obscure our true nature.Rupert shares, in rare detail, how he actually meditates — and what it means to return again and again to the awareness of being. While he affirms the simplicity of the Direct Path, he also acknowledges the back-and-forth many practitioners experience as part of shedding the ego’s layers
The Awareness trap: When Non-Duality Becomes Avoidance Simon Mundie 2025-08-12 | In this clip from A New Way of Being with Simon Mundie, Angelo DiLullo unpacks the hidden trap many spiritual seekers fall into after their first awakening — using awareness itself as a subtle form of avoidance. Drawing from his own direct experience, Angelo explains how the initial peace and spaciousness of awakening can become a spiritual bypass when deeper shadow material is left unprocessed.He explores how powerful emotions — shame, guilt, fear, grief — often rise after awakening, not because something is wrong, but because they are finally safe to be felt. This is where the real shadow work begins. Rather than remaining identified with "being awareness," Angelo invites us to meet these emotions head-on, dissolve resistance, and embody a deeper, more integrated non-dual realisation.

The Spiritual Truth Behind Religion | Aaron Abke on Non-Duality Simon Mundie 2025-08-04 | Aaron Abke joins Simon Mundie to explore his journey from Christianity to non-dual awakening. Raised in a deeply religious household and training to be a pastor, Aaron began to experience cognitive dissonance in his early twenties. That sparked a profound inner search — one that led him away from traditional religion and into direct spiritual experience.In this conversation, Aaron shares how he deconstructed his beliefs, embraced Eastern philosophies, and came to understand the teachings of Jesus through a non-dual lens. He breaks down the ego as the mental habit of identifying with form, and explains how core emotional patterns like lack, attachment, and control can be seen through and released.They also dive into emotional intelligence, shadow integration, and the importance of embodying love — not as a concept, but as a lived, moment-to-moment reality. Aaron and Simon reflect on how real awakening isn’t about bypassing life or chasing states, but meeting what is — with honesty, humility and presence.Aaron Abke is the author of The Three Beliefs of Ego.

What Happens After Awakening? Angelo DiLullo on Non-Duality & No-Self Simon Mundie 2025-07-30 | In this deeply personal episode, Simon Mundie speaks with Dr. Angelo DiLullo — author, spiritual teacher, and anesthesiologist — about his profound journey through spiritual awakening, non-dual realisation, and the dissolution of the sense of self. Angelo candidly shares his early struggles with anxiety, depression, and a persistent feeling of disconnection, which eventually prompted a series of radical shifts in consciousness.Through direct experience — not philosophy — Angelo describes three major awakenings:1) The recognition of pure consciousness beyond thought2) The realisation of non-duality and the formless nature of reality3) The complete falling away of the separate self — the "no-self" shiftThis conversation goes beyond conceptual spirituality. It’s an intimate, accessible look at awakening that integrates shadow work, emotional healing, and the practical challenges of spiritual embodiment. Angelo also touches on neuroscience, the nature of awareness, and the limits of language when describing the ineffable.Whether you're on a path of self-inquiry, interested in non-dual teachings, or simply exploring the edges of consciousness, this episode offers rare, first-hand insight into what awakening actually is — and isn’t.
This Is What Awakening Really Feels Like (Angelo DiLullo) Simon Mundie 2025-07-27 | What really happens after spiritual awakening? In conversation with Simon Mundie, Dr. Angelo DiLullo shares his own unfolding through multiple stages of non-dual realization. He goes beyond the initial awakening into deeper, more subtle shifts — including the total dissolution of form, identity, and the very sense of being a separate self.Angelo describes the moment when reality is seen not just as unified consciousness, but as formless, experienceless, and boundaryless. This isn't conceptual non-duality — it's direct, lived realization.If you're exploring non-duality, self-inquiry, or have experienced an initial shift in consciousness, this conversation offers rare insight into what lies beyond. Angelo also speaks to the importance of shadow work, the illusion of separation, and why so many seekers unconsciously resist going further.The full conversation with Angelo will be released #nonduality #awakening #consciousness #spiritualawakening #selfrealization #enlightenment #advaita #angeloDiLullo #egoDeath #shadowwork #spirituality #formlessness #selfinquiry #awareness #nondualawakening
Why Early Scientists Had to Lie to Survive: The Origins of Materialism Simon Mundie 2025-07-22 | Did fear shape the way we see reality? Non-dual philosopher Bernardo Kastrup in conversation with Simon Mundie explains how the dominance of materialism in modern science wasn’t born from truth-seeking alone—but from fear. To avoid persecution by the Church, early scientists strategically removed consciousness and subjective experience from the conversation, giving rise to the materialist worldview that still dominates today.Kastrup dives into the historical roots of materialism, how it became a survival strategy, and why its legacy continues to shape how we think about science, reality, and the mind. He touches on Nietzsche’s chilling prediction about the nihilism that can emerge when we strip meaning from life, and how the promise of total oblivion after death became a form of psychological comfort.👉 Watch the full interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=o8yTY3Fw1Ns🔔 Subscribe for more explorations into non-duality, consciousness, and the science of being.#BernardoKastrup #Materialism #Nonduality #Consciousness #Philosophy #ScienceVsReligion #FearAndScience #HistoryOfIdeas #Spirituality #Awakening #ScienceAndSpirituality

What If Science Has It All Backwards? Rupert Spira & Federico Faggin Simon Mundie 2025-06-29 | In this conversation, host Simon Mundie sits down with Rupert Spira and Federico Faggin — physicist, engineer and inventor of the microprocessor — to explore where science and spirituality really meet. Together they look at why the divide between science and spirituality is an illusion, how more scientists are waking up to the fact that consciousness is the ultimate science, and how AI could help us in the search for truth and love.They also dig into why the real mystery is not the hard problem of consciousness but the hard problem of matter, whether free will is real or just an illusion, and what quantum physics might be pointing to about the nature of reality.I initially hosted this conversation for Rupert Spira's channel.Timestamps:0:00 — Science Meets Spirit9:00 — Who Are You Really?18:20 — The Real Mystery of Matter32:00 — Is Free Will a Trick?1:25:00 — AI, Truth & Love1:43:50 — The One Thing That MattersFor my free Balance to Flow course head to https://www.simonmundie.com/beat-burn...
Stop Putting Spiritual Teachers On Pedestals! Simon Mundie 2025-06-24 | Think spiritual awakening means no more struggle? Think again.In this video, I unpack the myth that awakened people and 'spiritual teachers' have it all together. They don’t. They are as imperfect as the rest of us. And putting them on a pedestal can create a distance from our own inner wisdom.I talk about the reality of being 'awake' and still being human — navigating emotional ups and downs, self-doubt and challenging relationships, and resistance. This is where real non-duality meets real life - and offers a balanced view of spirituality.If you're on a non-dual path and still struggling with anxiety, purpose, or staying grounded, you’re not broken. You’re just human. And with the right kind of support, it is possible to align more deeply with your own inner knowing.🌀 1:1 Alignment Coaching – Work with me:calendly.com/simon-wgw/exploratory-call
Is Matter an Illusion? Rupert Spira & Bernardo Kastrup Simon Mundie 2025-06-17 | What is the true nature of reality? Is everything made of matter, or could consciousness be the ground of all experience? In this conversation, host Simon Mundie is joined by Rupert Spira and Bernardo Kastrup for a deep and profound conversation about the limits of materialism and the case for consciousness as primary.They explore how our everyday experience is shaped by perceptual filters, why the belief in separation leads to suffering, and how science, philosophy, and direct experience point toward a deeper, unified reality. Rupert and Bernardo share how this understanding has changed their own lives — less about intellectual belief, more about lived insight — and what might shift in the world if more people recognised the illusion of separation.Note: This conversation was recorded a couple of years ago, but this is the first time it’s being shared in full here on my channel.

Microprocessor Inventor’s Spiritual Awakening | Federico Faggin Simon Mundie 2025-06-12 | Federico Faggin — inventor of the microprocessor and early pioneer of artificial intelligence — describes the spiritual awakening that transformed his view of reality. Once a committed materialist, Federico set out to build a conscious machine. But in 1990, during a profound and unexpected spiritual experience, he went through a huge shift in awareness that changed everything.He speaks about a direct encounter with a vast field of love, peace and knowing — and how this led him to see consciousness not as a byproduct of the brain, but as the fundamental ground of existence. This conversation explores tech histor and the evolution of thought in artificial intelligence, as well as the intersection of science, consciousness, free will, and the limits of AI — from one of the most influential figures in modern technology.If you enjoyed this content please subscribe to my channel: / @iamsimonmundie For my FREE Beat Burnout and Find Flow course head to https://www.simonmundie.com/beat-burn...

Donald Hoffman: We Are All Expressions of One Consciousness Simon Mundie 2025-06-06 | What if you’re not a separate person at all — but just one face of a vast, infinite being?In this clip from A NEw Way of Being with Simon Mundie, Donald Hoffman explains how mathematics points to a profound truth: that all conscious agents — all apparent “selves” — are part of a single infinite consciousness. Through the lens of set theory, infinity, and avatars, Don shares why your personal story isn’t who you are, and why what you really are can never be captured in words or formulas.You are not your memories. You are not your story. You are the awareness behind it — the One Being, playing with the illusion of separation, just to wake up to itself again.This is the kind of conversation that leaves your mind spinning and your heart wide open.#DonHoffman #Nonduality #OneConsciousness #SpiritualAwakening #Infinity #Avatars #YouAreNotYourStory #Consciousness
What Spiritual Awakening Actually Looks Like | Lisa Cairns Simon Mundie 2025-06-03 | In this episode of A New Way of Being, Lisa Cairns talks to Simon Mundie about what awakening actually looked like for her — and it’s far from the polished version you often hear.Lisa describes the intensity of the shift that happened while she was living in Bali: a sudden loss of identity, the world vibrating, and the inability to function in ordinary ways for a while — even things like crossing the road became difficult.Rather than a neat experience, awakening brought upheaval, deep sensitivity, and a complete letting go of who she thought she was. Over time, what emerged was something much quieter and more grounded — a life led by presence, simplicity, and an increasing clarity about what supports wellbeing and what doesn’t.This conversation is an honest reflection on what happens when the old mental structures drop away — not to arrive at some perfect destination, but to open to what’s here, in each moment.If you’ve ever felt disillusioned by spiritual shortcuts or bypassing, this one might resonate.
What Life ACTUALLY Looks Like After Awakening | Lisa Cairns | Day In The Life Simon Mundie 2025-05-30 | What does life actually look like after awakening? In this rare and personal excerpt, Lisa Cairns shares what her day-to-day existence is like living from a space of non-dual awareness. Forget the fantasy of instant enlightenment or spiritual shortcuts — Lisa describes the quiet, simple rhythms of her life with honesty and clarity: long hours of stillness, deep care for the body, and a profound sensitivity to what is nourishing and what isn’t.This conversation goes beyond abstract concepts and brings non-duality down to earth. Lisa speaks openly about her daily practices, the shifts in what her body can tolerate, and how alignment with truth gradually strips away everything that no longer serves. It’s a beautifully candid reminder that spiritual growth is not about doing more — it’s about deepening into what already is.For anyone walking the spiritual path — especially those navigating confusion, expectations, or the illusion of quick fixes — this clip offers something rare: a glimpse into how freedom might actually move through a human life.Full conversation coming soon.#NonDuality #SpiritualAwakening #LisaCairns #AwakeningJourney #ConsciousLiving
No Free Will? Bernardo Kastrup Explains Why It Doesn’t Matter Simon Mundie 2025-05-27 | Is free will just an illusion? Philosopher and computer engineer Bernardo Kastrup breaks down the age-old debate about determinism and human choice — and explains why it doesn’t actually matter.Even in a deterministic universe, Bernardo argues, we still have to act, choose, and engage with life as though our choices matter… because they do.He explains: Why determinism doesn’t cancel moral responsibility, what computer chips can teach us about human agency, the surprising reason even God can’t predict the future... and why meaning and action still matter — with or without free willWatch the full episode here: youtube.com/watch?v=o8yTY3Fw1Ns&t=233s#BernardoKastrup #Death #Consciousness #Nonduality #freewill #spirituality

Donald Hoffman: Take Reality Seriously, Not Literally Simon Mundie 2025-05-22 | Donald Hoffman explains why we shouldn’t take reality literally – even though we must take it seriously.Think of your computer desktop: when you see a blue icon for a file, you don’t believe the file itself is a tiny blue rectangle living in the top corner of your hard drive. It’s just a useful symbol. If you drag it to the bin, you’ll lose your work – so yes, the consequences are real. But the icon isn’t the thing itself.Hoffman suggests the same is true of everything we perceive. What we see – the world around us, our senses, even physical objects – is more like a user interface than the actual truth of reality.This conversation explores:Why evolution gave us useful perceptions, not truthful onesThe difference between "serious" and "literal"What it means to live wisely when you know the interface isn’t the full pictureA hammer can hurt you. A cliff can kill you. That doesn’t mean your senses are showing you objective reality — just a version that helps you survive.** If you enjoy this type of content please subscribe to my channel:youtube.com/channel/UC3sLPu0sHWdnpPF6FmAnRpQ?sub_confirmation=1 For 1:1 coaching book an introductory session here: calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chatwww.simonmundie.com**#donaldhoffman #consciousness #nonduality #spiritualawakening #anewwayofbeing #simonmundie #infiniteconsciousness #rupertspira #materialism #thehardproblemofconsciousness #spacetime #meditation
“Relationships Are Here to Make You Conscious, Not Happy” Simon Mundie 2025-05-19 | “If I accept that relationships are here to make me conscious instead of happy, then my relationships become a wonderful self-mastery tool.” – Eckhart TolleAlex and I talk honestly about what it’s like to be in a conscious relationship — one where taking full responsibility for your feelings, triggers and growth is the foundation. Relationships can be a place where old patterns surface in awareness, and we share stories of how that shift changed everything and how it continues to evolve.This is part of our ongoing series as a 'spiritual couple', sharing our journey of love, ego, nonduality, out of body experiences, astral projection, self-inquiry and the gift of walking this path together.

What Awakening Really Does to Individuality | Rupert Spira Simon Mundie 2025-05-15 | Awakening and nonduality do not mean losing your individuality. As Rupert Spira, in conversation with Simon Mundie, explains, individuality doesn’t dissolve—it flourishes. In this clip, he reframes awakening not as a denial of identity, but as the liberation of the true character beneath conditioned form. Self-inquiry, meditation and waking up to our true nature allow us to expand.#RupertSpira #Nonduality #Spirituality #Awakening #Individuality

Spiritual Bypass? The Trap of Being ‘Just the Witness Simon Mundie 2025-05-12 | Some people use non-duality to spirituality bypass, particularly in relationships. You may hear phrases like: “It’s just a sensation” or “I’m only the witness" or "the screen". But too often, that becomes a way to avoid the real work — a form of spiritual denial. Shadow work on the other hand, turning towards our feelings and integrating the wisdom therein, may be more messy but is also authentically walking the talk.In this short clip, I explore how spiritual language can mask unprocessed feelings, and why honouring your feelings and deeper intuition is walking the talk of spirituality👉 Watch the full video here: [youtube.com/watch?v=jE5rCuZ0qvw&t=324sIn it I explore how to take responsibility for your feelings, how this plays out in relationships, and how to stop bypassing your patterns and feelings.

When Awareness Becomes Avoidance: Spiritual Bypassing in Relationship Simon Mundie 2025-05-09 | Many people – especially those into mindfulness or non-duality – end up bypassing their emotions. In this video, I explore how dismissing your feelings as “just thoughts” or clinging to the insight that you are just "the witness" or "the screen" can be a form of emotional avoidance — and what it really means to take responsibility for your feelings and act from your deeper intuition.Too often, especially in spiritual or non-dual circles, feelings get brushed off as “just sensations” or “just thoughts.” But in doing that, we can bypass the deeper message our emotions are trying to share. Feelings are part of our inner guidance system.

The Telepathy Tapes Reveal the Beliefs Materialists Don’t Even Know They Hold Simon Mundie 2025-04-08 | Flow, consciousness, the thinking mind — these are the themes I come back to again and again. In this video, I reflect on what the Telepathy Tapes podcast reveals about unconscious bias, materialist assumptions, and the nature of belief itself.The Telepathy Tapes podcast has exploded in popularity, but whether you believe the stories or not — that’s not really the point. What is fascinating is what the cultural response reveals about the unconscious beliefs many materialists hold — especially the unproven assumption that consciousness is created by the brain.In this video, I reflect on what this shows about our collective blindspots, the hard problem of consciousness, and the sneaky ways belief disguises itself as fact. Including from people who pride themselves on their commitment to evidence…Image of the podcast cover from ‘The Telepathy Tapes’ by Ky Dickens, used for commentary purposes.**#nondualism #nonduality #materialism #thinkingmind #awareness #philosophy #spirituality #kyydickens #simonmundie #consciousness #awakening #enlightenment #eckharttolle #presence #telepathytapes
