In this episode of Awakening Now, I speak with Jim Newman, a well-known voice in radical nonduality.

Jim shares one of the most uncompromising messages in the spiritual world: there is no separate self, no path, no one becoming awakened, and nothing to attain.

Together, we explore seeking, liberation, free will, embodiment, and the challenge of speaking about what cannot be grasped conceptually.

This conversation may bring relief, curiosity, frustration, resistance, or a sense of recognition. Rather than deciding what to think, notice how it lands in you.

What happens when the seeker encounters a message it cannot use?

 Jim Newman, a well-known voice in radical nonduality. For the past ten years, he has shared a message that challenges many traditional spiritual teachings, pointing to the absence of a separate self and the immediacy of what is already present. His approach is direct, uncompromising, and often provocative, inviting listeners to question some of their most fundamental assumptions about identity and awakening. 

Music by Valdi Sabev. In loving memory and gratitude for the music he shared.
