Discovering what you truly are

2. Pointers Series – Program 1: You are already That

Posted on 03.04.08 5:19PM under Bob Adamson, Gilbert Schultz, Podcast

This is our second program.  This the first program of a series on ‘pointers’ (phrases) 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.’

Bob Adamson is the main speaker. First of, in this program, Gilbert gives a hint about what ‘a pointer’ is. The main portion of the program is composed of excerpts taken from Bob Adamson’s meetings. A transcript of the program is available.

Websites of interest from this program are:

‘Sailor’ Bob Adamson – Non-conceptual, Self-knowing Awareness

Gilbert’s website.

As the audio quality of some of the excerpts is not high, a transcript of the program is on this link, in blue.

    Thanks for the podcasts! And the transcript! I like the way you’ve interwoven the different quotes, pointers with the voiceovers and music. We are so fortunate that you are compiling all this, with high production value, and making it available for download. Your generosity of spirit is appreciated…I’ll visit the “Cafe” often.

    Now I can see why Bob’s pointers are so powerful. Thank you very much!

    This is great! I’ve listened to them over, and over again. Thank you for this work. It’s very refreshing for a long-time “seeker”.

    This is it. The pointers in the audio are clear and powerful. Thanks.

    I could not agree more with all of the posts so far. What is most appreciated by me is the transcripts, in that given Bob’s laid back delivery and my in-experience with the accent, I have been unable to listen to his message. Thanks so much. ralph

    Nice to hear some “new” Bobspeak from your archives that I haven’t heard before. Starting from where you are, the being that is , is so obvious now…….but yet it needed to be “pointed to” to be recognized, how bizzare and how sublime, Luvit! Tazz.

    Regarding the Pointer Series, Program 1, “You are already that.” Very powerful, but the transcript is incorrect. The transcript for program 1 is actually program 2. Can you correct that please? Thanks

    The correct transcript for the program ‘You are already that’ is now up for anyone who wants to get a copy. Sorry about the mistake.

    You have done very well with this Urban Guru Cafe. I think it’s unique. Up to now I only read things from Sailor Bob. But to read and to hear is a great joy for me. – Olaf from Germany
