This Man Says Reality Isn’t Physical – And He Can Prove It

By

John Tan shared:

A taste of luminous clarity.

I like his explanations, even though they are not based on "emptiness." If he were to replace "substance" with "nature"—eliminating the need for a "substrate" entirely—all physics, theories, and laws would function perfectly without contradictions. Nevertheless, his insights are very strong.

Recognizing manifestation as YOU is the insight of non-dual luminosity.

Recognizing manifestation as empty is the beginning of freedom.

When manifestation is both luminous and empty—vivid yet unfindable, intimate yet ownerless—then radiance does not bind. It self-releases.
