Duality, Non-Attachment & “Earth School” | A Morning Practice Reflection from Metaphysical Book Club

Welcome back to The Metaphysical Book Club. In today’s episode, I take you inside my morning spiritual practice—a fluid blend of reading, journaling, contemplation, and meditation—and share a powerful teaching that helped me understand one of the most difficult concepts to express in words: duality.

This reflection was sparked by a passage from Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East (Volume 4), a text that beautifully illustrates duality using a simple but profound metaphor:
2 + 2 = 3 and 2 + 2 = 5 are both distortions; only 2 + 2 = 4 represents truth. In the same way, extremes — whether in health, belief, politics, or identity — are illusions we mistakenly argue about, rather than returning to the steady truth beneath them.

In this video, I explore:

-How my morning ritual helps me receive wisdom through words, reading, and contemplation
Why some spiritual teachers avoid consuming others’ work, and why reading is my pathway to divine understanding
A clear, relatable explanation of duality, neutrality, and non-attachment
How metaphysical confusion arises when we jump between teachings—Buddhism, channeling, energy medicine, vibrational healing, etc.
My own journey from panic attacks and vasovagal syncope to studying energy work, IIN, supplements, Reiki, acupuncture, and Joe Dispenza’s You Are the Placebo
Why everything we study—whether we agree with it or not—becomes part of our curriculum in “Earth School”
The importance of not just reading spiritual ideas, but living, testing, and embodying them in real life

Ultimately, this video is about how seekers (which we all are, whether we know it or note) approach the same essential question through different paths, whether it’s science, Buddhism, channeling, energy medicine, music, art, ultra running, being in nature, or spending time with animals.

I’d love to hear what you’re reading and what concepts are shaping your journey. Share your favorites below!
