The fallacy of non-dual teachings, if you listen to non-dual teachers, is to spit and spew platitudes out at ourselves and at each other, rather than feel our deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep pain.
Non-duality might sound like a lofty spiritual concept, but what does it really mean for those grappling with addiction and trauma? In this episode of 'The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast', host Darren Littlejohn tackles the often misunderstood idea of non-duality, urging listeners to look beyond the surface and confront the deeper pain that fuels their struggles. Drawing from Tibetan Buddhism and other wisdom traditions, Littlejohn offers a fresh perspective on integrating non-dual teachings into the recovery journey.
He doesn't shy away from challenging the easy platitudes and instead, dives into the complexities that come with truly understanding and practicing non-duality. Alongside insights from his book, 'Compassionate Recovery: Mindful Healing for Trauma and Addictions', this episode delves into topics like the pitfalls of 'zen-tellectuals' and guru worship, and the limitations of language in conveying profound spiritual truths.
By the end, you'll find yourself rethinking what it means to heal from a place of compassion and mindfulness, making this episode a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery.
