Urban Guru Cafe

Areti interviews Paul Hedderman. Paul worked with many ‘in recovery’. Here Areti explores Paul’s gift of talking about Non Duality, if we can call it that. Paul’s enthusiastic sharing is both light and cutting to the core of the ‘issues’ faced by the seeker. Paul’s website Here.

Music includes: Nubreed, Mose Allison, Rolf Harris, The Stranglers, The Who, Bob Brozman and an exclusive cut of The Beatles with Heather Nova.

This is our second program on Jiddu Krishnamurti. He was discovered and announced as a ‘World Teacher’ by Dr. Annie Besant of the Theosophical Society, he later renounced the position saying that “Truth is a Pathless Land”. This program actually contains certain salient points that are a key to understanding the ‘situation’ we find ourselves in. These points may pass over your head unless you pay close attention. I advise you listen to what he says as often as it takes for them to reveal themselves clearly. The previous program on J. Krishnamurti should also be listened to again if necessary. Remember that it is not about the messenger. The clarity of the pointing is what this is all about. Krishnamurti was often very blunt with his pointing. This program is a stand alone pointer. In effect, as a producer, I have taken the salient points and given them new life in a new form. This program expresses the basics, without all the unnecessary extras. The bare bones of it all is in this presentation.

Many websites can be found dedicated to J. Krishnamurti. Here is one – Click here.

Music includes: Bach, Annour Brahem and a piece by Jacqueline Du Pre on Cello.

The UGC is a free podcast of the subject of Non Duality or reality as it is. Small donations may be made on this website in order to support this on going work of bringing valuable material to the common man.

 85. Isaac Shapiro - Beloved Life: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1788)

THE URBAN GURU CAFE IS A FREE PODCAST, a small aperture opening onto the Universal Truths, the natural state of simple being-ness.  Expressions that do not ask you to believe in anything.  Just see for yourself. Speakers who point clearly, without making a fuss about who they are or about what they say. We trust that you will find what you need in some of these 84 programs.

Some of the essential points which J. Krishnamurti shared. In the appearance, he taught for over 40 years. How many heard his simple pointers? Here is another ‘chance’ for those who missed what he points to. Remember that it is not about the messenger. The usual worshiping of the messenger is a trap. In 1929 Krishnamurti dissolved ‘The Order’, which, he was the head of because he recognized that he was being turned into an idol of worship. He says: “I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief. A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others”..(end of quote). It seems that human nature is always slipping into the state of worshiping something ‘objective’- so bondage appears to happen. Thus the essence of freedom is forgone. Even so, the Essence that you are is always free. It is the nature of the Cosmic Consciousness. One needs to recognize this, and see without the conditioned mind – recognize that naked seeing is the essential freedom – which is completely available to everyone.

We found Christine on a video interview with Rafael Stoneman on facebook – then we contacted her and here is the ‘result’. Christine is NOT an Advaita Teacher. She is simple – in the nicest possible way – her responses do not come from some tradition.  She lives in Canada.

Music is composed by a friend of Christines, the piece is called “Elixirs for the Human Heart” from The Science of Peace series by Larry Seyer and David Wilcox. The last piece of vocal music is by Vas and is called ‘Unbecoming’.

You can find Christine on her blog and on a w/site and on facebook if you are inclined to do so.

UG Krishnamurti is expressing directness through these recordings. These last three programs may signify a cutting away of erroneous beliefs. It is a celebration of a messenger who refused to be categorized. There is no teaching – no teacher – just pointing. Whether it resonates or not appears to depend on the willingness to let go of preconceived ideas. The resistance is the ‘me’.

The extraordinary music includes Vassilis Tsabropoulos, Anja Lechner and U.T. Gandhi, the CD is titled “Melos” – plus another piece from Annour Brahem from a CD titled “Barkakh” – and a well known classic Pink Floyd track.
