The truth is that nonduel teachings do not make logical sense. I'm not sure if I can explain it but I will try. When it is said that you do not exist, it is not referring to your physical self. What it is referring to is the "me" that you think you are. This "me" is the illusion. So called enlightenment is when you see that this "me" is not real. Many call this "me" the ego. The way Jim describes it is at a very young age, a tension forms in the body and creates a sense of Here, then, I Am Here. This tension is undetectable.
What happen is that recognitions can occur, giving you a glimpse/insight as to what really IS. There are no words to describe what IS. There sre also glimpses of how the me is built so to speak. These glimpses deconstruct the conditioning causing the tension to release. It is only when the tension releases that it is detectable. The sense of a "me" can fall away partially or completely. There is also no way to describe not having a sense of "me".
I am not just repeating what he says, I am also speaking from experience. The big recognition happened when I was listening to Papaji. I can't say that he is the reason for it because just like some of you it was not making sense to me, then boom, it just happened. Since there is not much of Papaji online I found Mooji and started listening to him.
It wasn't until I found Jim that it seemed to be happening very quick. I watched a bunch of his videos when I discovered him one weekend. When I went back to work I noticed I could hardly walk. People that used to seem super slow to me felt as if they were running now. I could not keep up. I was not sure what was going on. It was a few days later that I found his video where he first talks about the tension and what happens when it falls away. I kept having small little glimpses here and there furthering the deconstruction of the "me".
I'm sure this seems far fetched and hard to swallow for some, but that's OK. At one time I thought all of this was a bunch of BS too. Here is a video of him explaining it.

This is the first vdeo of his that intrigued me. It's kind of funny. And the interviewer tells him that what he is saying sounds like the Who's on First routine.
