Is God Personal or Impersonal? - a podcast by Marshall Davis

It would be tempting to answer this question using concepts, but of course nonduality is not about concepts or ideas. It is about direct experience. So I will refer the question back to you my listeners and ask you to see for yourself.

One of the standard tecniques in nonduality is direct inquiry into who or what we are. We look for a separate personal self with a name and a history, and discover to our surprise that such a being does not exist. The self or ego is just an idea tacked onto experience. It does not exist outside of our imagination. We discover that we are not the personal self that we thought we were. There is no experiencer, only experiencing. 

In this episode I use the same type of inquiry to look at who or what God is. We examine the traditional places that God is said to dwell. Then we look at the relationship between the personal self and the Personal God.
