"I think that awakening as a topic, one of the cool things about it is it's probably. just me just spewing not even my own ideas," he says. "It's fascinating to me how many teachers who understand non-duality throw that model out, just toss it away." He continues: "You don't actually get it if you don't actually understand it ... You're not really awake if you then try to use it to improve yourself"
Michael Taft, a long-time meditation teacher, author, and founder of Deconstructing Yourself blog and podcast, discusses the stages of personal development and the awakening path, deconstructing reality, and the benefits of a regular meditation practice.
