Urban Guru Cafe

In this program the legendary British actor Terence Stamp reads selected extracts from the book that he says “changed his life”, Perfect Brilliant Stillness by David Carse. These extracts, like the full unabridged audiobook (which can be download from Silksoundbooks), is an exploration of our existence. In “The fine print” at the start of his book, David Carse wrote: “There are many books out there that will help you to live a better life, become a better person, evolve and grow to realize your potential as a spiritual being. This is not one of them.”

The hard copy of the book is available through Non Duality Press. Look for it in your local ’spiritual bookshop’.

NOTE: These selected passages appear as one program. The contents here are only a fraction of the full Audio Book.

Music includes: Ruben Diaz (Guitar), a brilliant composer Thomas Dybdahl selections and a brief appearance of The Muse (Bliss).

The Urban Guru Cafe is a free podcast on the subject of Non Duality. The UGC breaks through the bondage to all paths and points to right here, right now.

Kenneth Madden is from Galway, Ireland, and is a relatively unknown ’speaker’ on Non Duality. That ‘relatively unknown’ is about to change and many will enjoy Kenneth’s expression, simple and direct. This is it – just as it is. He is also an accomplished photographer and you can see some excellent examples of his work on his site.

His Blogsite is here.

It’s a bit of fun and it’s high time too – a good laugh may just nudge its way out of an overly concerned seeker’s big wooly pullover.

Music by a truly wonderful band called Planxty, Ireland’s most popular folk group (unless we are mistaken). We love Irish music here at the UGC.

The UGC is a free podcast site – uncompromising and yet quite enjoyable. – Small donations are welcome.

Our promise is to entertain without being overly serious and yet still bring it all back to direct pointing – with no overbearing ‘personalities’ pushing their own ‘wheelbarrow message’ about themselves and how sacred they are.

New program……Listen up. How anyone could miss what is being pointed out is remarkable.  Approximately 36 hours of programs and seeking is still happening?

The grasping consciousness known as ‘the seeker’ ignores the obvious and wants ‘God himself’ to come down out of the clouds and be his personal teacher. Sadly many believe that God has done just that. It is all Bunkum.

Music inclusions:  Canned Heat, Radiohead, The Swell Season, Zero 7, Jethro Tull, Bob Dylan, Rivertriibe, The Kinks and Pipkins with “Give me dat thing”.

The UGC is Phenomena. Everything is phenomena. Put another nickle in the Nickelodeon. This unprecedented ’service’ is free but there are costs involved. Donate a small amount to keep this site going, if you find some value in it. You might even feel good about it.

Everything is Consciousness – there are no exceptions.

We are back packing a punch – remember that memory and anticipation do not actually obscure clear and present awareness. What value does a ‘pointer’ have? The offering of clear pointers (and the recognition of our true nature) is priceless.

In the appearance of space and time, in program number 69, Areti continues to explore Randall’s unique expression on what Non Duality is, ‘as if’ it could be defined.

Randall’s blog is You Are Dreaming. His book is You Are No-Thing from Non-Duality Press. Randall holds talks in Second Life on Tuesdays. See the Virtual UGC page for more information.

Music includes: Rivertribe (Australian Band) Radiohead, Sandy Denny with Fairport Convention, Cat Empire Project, China Crisis, Paul Brady, Judy Collins and Manfred Mann.

This free podcast site does not ask you for anything. Belief is not necessary – see for yourself – small donations help to cover costs – What value does a ‘pointer’ have? Offering clear pointers to absolute strangers without asking for anything is self-less-ness in action. Compassion expresses itself through pointers and the recognition of our true nature is priceless.

Areti interviews Richard Collings. Richard came to our notice through some comment he made on this site. We think you will be quite interested in what he shares. Ric: “Up until then, science had totally removed, just ignored consciousness, effectively termed ignorance. Consciousness was taken out of the picture completely, but (then) with quantum physics there is a field of functioning before matter, of pure intelligence, that is effectively infinite in its possibilities and it’s beyond time and space – and what I am saying is that this field, this quantum field, is just a conceptual description for consciousness.”

Richard does not have a website as yet. If you wish to contact Richard with a question, please contact the UGC and we’ll pass along the contact info.

Music includes: Pink Floyd (on Richard’s request), Ben Harper (guitar), Zero 7, Nick Cave (Let it be), Matt Walters (Two songs from a young local Melbourne lad with a ton of talent) and Bob Dylan (USA Home grown genius of song) .

The Urban Guru Cafe is a free podcast for sharing clear pointing to your true nature. Thank you to those who have made a small donation recently. It helps keep the site viable.
