CC's Youtube Channel on the Dangers in Neo-Advaita and various forms on modern non-duality that negate the self.  @ccvttc 

Tim's third riveting conversation with a German Youtuber  @ccvttc  who spreads awareness about the dangers of Neo-Advaita. Together, they explore how self and world-negating non-dual spirituality is dangerously de-humanizing, and even delusional, while constructively deconstructing the core metaphysical beliefs in these ideologies. We're also invited to envision an optimistic "emergent" worldview that affirms not just the reality but the precious significance of all dimensions of the universe, including our both unified and individual, personal selves!
