Everything, including all concepts and all pointing appear nowhere other than in the natural state of seeing, knowing - you are THAT.
Being is silent - just as in nature, the realm of concepts and expressions may also elicit a resonance in being.
This is a relaxed exploration via various ‘pointers’. Recorded in the backyard garden - the birds join in.
Music interludes by these bands: Argentina, Radio Khabul, Zarafa and Yes (a great band from the 70s).

This is the third program in the pointers series examining Bob Adamson’s pointer that the answer is not in the mind - “Full stop, pause a thought, what is wrong with right now if you don’t think about it?” he tells us.
Included in the program is a short introduction by Gilbert Schultz. Most of the excerpts of Bob Adamson come from three CDs - ‘Sailor’ Bob Adamson - companion audio CD to the book “What’s Wrong With Right Now, Unless You Think About It?” - “Conversations on No-Thing” volumes 1, 2, and 3 (which form the text of his book “Presence-Awareness, Just This and Nothing Else”).
A transcript of the program is available.

This is the first of a series of programs on pointers used in advaita. The pointer explored in this program is ‘You are already that’, a pointer used by Bob Adamson. Parallels are drawn between this pointer and one used by Nisagardatta of staying with the ‘I am.’
The two advaita ‘teachers’ who feature in the program are Gilbert Schultz and Bob Adamson. In the program, Gilbert Schultz explains what a pointer is as well as introduces the pointer we are exploring. The remaining portion of the program is composed of excerpts taken from Bob Adamson’s three CDs - ‘Sailor’ Bob Adamson - companion Audio CD to the book - What’s wrong with Right Now - unless you think about it’ - Selections from Meetings recorded in 2003 - Volume 1,2 and 3 which form the text in his book ‘PRESENCE AWARENESS - Just This and Nothing Else .’
A transcript of the program is available.

There are many out there claiming to be ‘teaching’ non duality (advaita), but which of them really are? If your chosen teacher is making claims that he or she is enlightened then maybe you need to reconsider how useful such a ‘teacher’ is.
This podcast features audio clips that define what advaita ‘teaching’ is about and discuss the notion of ‘enlightenment.’ Three advaita ‘teachers’ in the program are Bob Adamson, Tony Parsons and Gilbert Schultz.
Music excerpts from the following tracks have been used: Sandy Denny ‘It’ll take a long time,’ Debashish Bhattacharya ‘Calcutta Slide Guitar,’ Pink Floyd ‘Time,’ and Guzel Yayla ‘Karsid Gorunen Ne.’
