Some of the speakers who appear in these podcasts are some of the clearest speakers on this subject of Non Duality (not all of them).  There are thousands we could have interviewed but most do not meet the required ‘standards’ and most of them fall short by a hundred miles.  It could be said to be unfortunate, that many ‘teachers’ make everything complicated by stamping their concepts over everything.  It is plainly obvious that many have no conscience and ‘steal’ pointers and use them for their own purposes.  They sell their conceptual teaching to the unwary, gather large followings and hold everyone to ransom. There are very few ‘teachers’ who are clean and clear of conceptual nonsense. One can see clearly that no one gets any true benefit because they are all encouraged to seek MORE.

THERE IS NO MORE.   Right now reality is just as it is.  The mind finds problems because it is constantly referring to an image of self – and that ‘self’ is non existent.  Therefore the seeking and the psychological suffering continues. It is completely unnecessary.  Believing in being a seeker is a loop in mind and there is no way out except to STOP.

What is true is simple. Reality is the PROOF.  Seeking is a dis-ease in being. It is psychological – if it stays there long enough it affects the physical body. The loop appears to be strong – but it cannot stand up to a clear investigation. There is NO reason why any teacher needs to prolong the deliverance of a clear message, except because they do not understand themselves.
Non Duality has turned into a profitable industry and frankly it is nothing less than disgusting what goes on.  Ridiculous seminars and retreats that cost a small fortune to attend.  It is utterly absurd. Stupendous Nonsense and idolatry is flaunted as if it were a God sent gift and all along it is nothing but the bondage of an apparent self.  99% of the presentations on this subject are almost complete nonsense.  How anyone cannot see that is a marvel to behold.  Compromised information is glorified and twisted into cult like activities.

What is pointed to in these podcast programs will not go stale or be dated. What is pointed to has never aged or changed one iota.   Therefore these programs serve as a vehicle for clear pointing.  You may not realise it but this is rare to find.  Usually those who organise such podcasts spoil the program with all kinds of unclear ramblings.

The Urban Guru Cafe programs are downloaded by around 7,000 plus listeners and streamed by a few more. It is broadcast on only one Radio Station at the moment – 93.1 CFIS FM in Prince George BC.  8.30 Sunday mornings.

Non Duality is not some tricky subject one needs to study. It is all very simple.  It is simple – simply Seeing and knowing for oneself.  All you need to do is to pay some attention to what is being pointed out.  It needs to be attention that is free from ‘old ideas’.  There are new notes and comments on the seeing-knowing site for those interested. – Gilbert

Just to ensure that the message is ‘heard’ clearly we have taken measures to make it easier for every potential visitor – we are providing a clean transcript of this program.  This program contains all the essential pointers that anyone needs.  If you can follow what is pointed out it is virtually impossible not to recognize your own essential ‘natural state’.   You may need to read and listen a few times.  This program represents what the Urban Guru Cafe is about.  Listen in a relaxed way and let the ‘message’ register without ‘reaction’ from the mind.  Mind is only appearance.  Pure being is not in the mind.  As long as there is some form of grasping consciousness going on, then the idea of seeking will perpetuate itself.   This naked awareness, which is beyond mind, is timelessly present – it is not altered by ‘time’.   Anyone who has experienced a true insight knows that it is a wordless insight – it is not in the conditioned mind – it is pure in-seeing.  Space like awareness is prior to the appearance of all the qualities and content of consciousness. That does not mean that it is separate.  Not two.

What must be clearly understood is that no one can ‘do’ anything for you – no guru, teacher or any ‘me’ or  ’other than me’ can facilitate the recognition that is required. What is usually offered is a conditional perspective which keeps the seeker locked into a mind game.  Once a clear and precise recognition has ‘happened’ there is little one can say about it, because it is beyond language.  Knowing is never truly corrupted by thought….It is pure knowing, pure being, which has always been present because it IS presence itself.  Any ‘personal history’ is only baggage and all our old ideas amount to nil until we let go absolutely.  Link to Guest Speaker here.

The guide can walk with you and assist with direction and the avoidance of deviations.  The spontaneous recognition is always potential.  You must SEE for yourself.  Belief is useless in this ‘venture’.  Belief is a hinderance and old ideas amount to nothing.

Music: G on Mandola and Mary Hopkin’s “Those were the days”.

P.S. Thousands upon thousands have a copy of “I am THAT” – Nisargadatta.  Few understand what is offered in the book.  The book often sits on a shelf as a trophy.  The lucky one is driven to read it every day.   Something percolates down.   As for the Urban Guru Cafe, there may or may not be further programs (as the song says “we thought they would never end”).     If you get the gist of what this single program is pointing to, there will be no need for MORE.  Listen a few times.  - G.

The UGC is a FREE podcast.  The producer of these podcasts has a new e-book available on this website.

Urban Guru Cafe – Only One http://urbangurucafe.com/2010/12/24/99-urban-guru-cafe-only-one/ http://urbangurucafe.com/2010/12/24/99-urban-guru-cafe-only-one/#comments Fri, 24 Dec 2010 00:22:11 +0000 gilbert http://urbangurucafe.com/?p=1195 The mind wants more. The idea of ‘self’ wants to survive beyond this moment and yet this moment is all there is and the idea of self has NO being and there is actually no ‘me’ in this immediacy of seeing-knowing.  This is actually very obvious right now.  You have to think about a ‘me’ before it ‘appears’.  The pure seeing is duration-less.  Uninterrupted observing is happening.  The mind is time – transient appearances only.  This immediacy is timeless.

The clear pointing on this site does not date.  It is fresh as the immediate impressions that register each moment.  We encourage you to explore as many of these programs as you wish to.  If you are waiting for a new program, please start listening to those programs you have not yet listened to.  Even though the programs are presented in an entertaining format, the essence of the pointing is sharp and cutting and ever fresh.   No one knows what ‘information’ will bring about a clear insight for you.  One may hear a pointer many times and somehow it does not register with its full meaning, then suddenly it cuts to the core.  Therefore we encourage anyone who resonates with a particular ‘message’ to listen as often as you can.  The programs will not dull or get stale.  Something ‘sinks in’ and in an unexpected moment a clear pointer registers with a clarity that dispenses the ‘old view’ and it leaves you present and aware, as you always have been, nakedly aware, of being pure being.   In that moment (which can only be this moment) the ‘job’ has been done (and nothing has actually happened and nothing was ever done).  This naked moment is eternal presence.

The incentive of the Urban Guru Cafe is purely in order for such a moment to open up for you (as it did for me).   Once this has ‘happened’ things fall into place in a very different ‘order’ and many beliefs are dispensed with naturally without incident.  This has ‘happened’ for many listeners.  Be patient and listen to those programs that resonate. – G.

In the beginning was the word.

The texture of the universe is a seamless garment worn by no entity.
The following voices will be heard on this program: Rick Linchitz, Robert Wolfe, Kenneth Madden, Terence Stamp reading David Carse, Ram Dass reading an ancient text, Randall Friend, Mark West, Bob Adamson, John Wheeler, Isaac Shapiro, Ramesh Balsekar with Nisargadatta….. – G.

Music includes: Gordon Lightfoot, Gevorg Dabagian, Andreas Vollenweider, Moody Blues, Kingston Trio, Thomas Dybdahl, Rivertribe (Aus), Mozart and Pink Floyd, traffic and birds.

The various guests on this program have programs of their own and website also. Gilbert has a free trimmed version of his e-book called “Resonance in the Heart”  available – The full version is a pay for download. Click HERE to visit the e-book.

The entire 99 programs on this site were produced on a MacBook Pro using a simple but excellent audio editing program called Amedeus Pro. We recommend Apple Macs and to date we have had no software conflicts and no major hardware issues with these excellent work tools.

The UGC is on 1 Radio station in BC CFIS FM, Sunday mornings at 8.30.  It would be good to have the UGC on a few more stations around the globe. The programs are free.  Make some comments and stay in touch. – G.

Prior to Consciousness – Nisargadatta – 6th Jan 1980 http://urbangurucafe.com/2010/12/17/98-prior-to-consciousness-nisargadatta-6th-jan-1980/ http://urbangurucafe.com/2010/12/17/98-prior-to-consciousness-nisargadatta-6th-jan-1980/#comments Fri, 17 Dec 2010 04:20:44 +0000 gilbert http://urbangurucafe.com/?p=1174 ” Is there a world outside (of) your knowledge?  Can you go beyond what you know?   You may postulate a world beyond the mind, but it will remain a concept, unproved and unprovable.  Your experience is your proof …and it is valid for you only.  Who else can have your experience, when the other person is only as real as he (or she) appears in your experience” – Nisargadatta.

“You have projected onto yourself a world of your own imagination, based on memories, on desires and fears, and you have imprisoned yourself in it. Break the spell and be free.” – Nisargadatta

Where were you on the 6th of January 1980? On that day a few visitors were in a small attic room in the back streets of Bombay, in an area called Khetwadi. They had come from distant places to ask their questions, addressed to one who did not speak English. Somehow word had reached them, that this ‘teacher’ was someone extraordinary. Without a trace of sentiment, Nisargadatta turned many lives around and often with just a few words. Following on from the last program, we present digitally cleaned up audio from the meetings that were held everyday, year after year. This recording features Ramesh Balsekar and S.K. Mullarpattan as the main translators. These programs may require a few careful ‘listenings’ to catch everything they offer, but it is all clear, especially if you listen a few times. Many would have loved to have been able to attend the meetings. These recordings give an opportunity that is otherwise not available. Each meeting is unique and the way that Maharaj conducts himself is never predictable. He would not allow anyone to continue asking ‘spiritual kindergarden’ questions. Obviously he was keenly aware of where the visitor was ‘coming from’ and although he never spoke English, except for a word here and there, he probably understood the language reasonably well. That is neither here nor there, as we say. The atmosphere of that small room is captured on these recordings.

Music includes: Jefferson Airplane and a piece by Pepe Habichuela

The Urban Guru Cafe is a totally free podcast…..which has already turned a few lives around.

Or it has only momentary being, which comes to the same. For what has a beginning and an end has no middle. It is hollow. It has only name and shape given to it by the mind, but it has neither substance nor essence.” - Nisargadatta.

“Once you realize that the world is your own projection, you are free of it. You need not free yourself of a world that does not exist, except in your own imagination! However is the picture, beautiful or ugly, you are painting it and you are not bound by it. Realize that there is nobody to force it on you, that it is due to the habit of taking the imaginary to be real. See the imaginary as imaginary and be free of fear.” – Nisargadatta

The ONLY time there ever is is the Immediate Presence which we commonly call NOW.

These programs on Nisargadatta are very potent for those who are interested in this material.   It may take a few listenings to get the full potency of the pointing.   I myself have been struck by certain passages, by the simple and yet ‘deep’ significance of what Nisargadatta is saying. – Gilbert

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj - First a recording from 1980 with Ramesh Balsekar translating and then a recording from the 11th of January 1981 in which the voice of S.K. Mullarpattan appears as translator. This is a short selection from a series of tape recordings which I have digitally cleaned up and edited for archival purposes. There may be more to come. Some of the many tapes were used for transcribing purposes by Jean Dunn and Dr. Robert Powell who both produced excellent books on Nisargadatta. The first book ‘I am That’ was transcribe by Maurice Freeman in the early seventies. Dates for all the passages transcribed from the tapes are mentioned in the various books.

Many will not have heard of Darryl and no wonder. He has been quietly staying out of the limelight and enjoying it that way. Everything changes. Areti chats with Darryl about life and stuff. His recent book “Dismantling the Fantasy” is published by Non Duality Press.

Music includes: Bob Dylan, Andreas Vollenweider, Clannad, Dave Loggins, James Taylor, Mozart and Supertramp.

THE URBAN GURU CAFE NEEDS TO FIND A WIDER AUDIENCE AND IF YOU CAN HELP ACHIEVE THAT PLEASE DO SO.  Speak to your local community Radio Stations about having them broadcast the 100 programs, maybe one a week.  The Urban Guru Cafe has been dedicated to presenting clear speakers who do not ask anyone to believe anything they say. They merely point and discuss what we call Non Duality. Donations will keep this site available for new comers.  At any moment someone may SEE through the illusion of being separate.  This site is for them and the potential of insight – and for nothing more than that.

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.

Some of the essential points which J. Krishnamurti shared are in this program.

In 1929 Krishnamurti dissolved ‘The Order’, which, he was made 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).  The program is a pointer, fresh and new.

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.

These extracts, like the full unabridged audiobook (which can be download for a reasonable fee from Silksoundbooks), is an exploration of our ‘existence’ – THAT, which cannot be denied.  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.

It should be noted that the various audio selections used in this program amounts ot a mere fraction of the full version.   The book is quite extensive and covers many aspects of this ‘subject’.

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

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).

He is also an accomplished photographer and you can see some excellent examples of his work on his site.  Sure enough ‘Never not Here’ interviewed Kenneth shortly after this program was published.

Kenneth’s 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, who once upon a time were Ireland’s most popular folk group (unless we are mistaken). We love Irish music here at the UGC.

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.

The VIEW from ‘the last stepping stone’, on the pathless path, is the same VIEW from ‘the first stepping stone’. This Seeing NOW.

Pointers appear and disappear – what they all point to never appears… and so it never can disappear. Just the same is what you are has never truly appeared or disappeared. Knowing is all that is ‘happening’. Everything appears in the knowing – including the ‘knowing of’, the ‘conscious of’.

You ARE this SEEING-KNOWING-ESSENCE, the knowing of all things, which only ever forms into the transient patterns of ‘a seer’ and ‘the seen‘. The unchanging is what you ARE. This knowing does not need a pattern to associate with and all patterns come and go ‘upon’ the unchanging essence of ‘I am’.

Rodney Stevens – Radiance of Being – part two http://urbangurucafe.com/2009/11/14/61-rodney-stevens-radiance-of-being-part-two/ http://urbangurucafe.com/2009/11/14/61-rodney-stevens-radiance-of-being-part-two/#comments Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:31:36 +0000 gilbert http://urbangurucafe.com/?p=450 Areti continues this interview with Rodney Stevens.

Rodney says: Non-duality isn’t something that’s difficult, “far-off”, or metaphysical (though its sublimeness is without parallel). It is, for the most part, a teaching that points to the fact that self-realization is simply a matter of seeing or understanding that which is immediately before you. There is absolutely no need examine egoic constructs, debate notions of a perceiver and the perceived, or sit cross-legged on a floor or cave until you faint from exhaustion or exposure. Indeed, before you take a single step towards any of those endeavors, you are awareness itself. You are THAT. See the utter and magnificent reality of this as you read these very words. Allow yourself to be paused–Full Stop!–by the beauty and enormity of that fact. Then you will see yourself as Yourself, radiant spaciousness without beginning or end.

Rodney’s site is HERE.

Music includes: Iron and Wine, Neil Young, Andreas Vollenweider (Flute), Bob Dylan, The Youngbloods, Tomitito (guitar), and Cat Stevens.

Ramesh Balsekar (1917-2009) – extract from a typical meeting. http://urbangurucafe.com/2009/09/29/54-ramesh-balsekar-a-meeting-in-bombay/ http://urbangurucafe.com/2009/09/29/54-ramesh-balsekar-a-meeting-in-bombay/#comments Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:12:18 +0000 gilbert http://urbangurucafe.com/?p=284 On the 27th Sept 2009 – two days ago, Ramesh Balsekar ‘passed away’. The physical body is a transient appearance. For those who feel a heavy weight because of Ramesh’s ‘departure’ – come back to what he was pointing to, in yourself. Your true essence. Joy is in that simplicity of being. The attachment to the guru is a gift – ‘a final teaching’. In that, there is the potential to truly grasp what was being pointed out all along. May all of his followers be delivered quickly and painlessly into their true essence. – Gilbert

“You may think that you are the doer – I assure you that you have never done a thing” – Ramesh – and “According to my concepts” -Ramesh

Ramesh: “What is the significance of the statement ‘No one can get enlightenment’? This is the very root of the teaching. It means that it’s stupid for any so-called master to ask anyone to do anything to achieve or get enlightenment. The core of this simple statement means, according to my concept, that enlightenment is the annihilation of the ‘one’ who ‘wants’ enlightenment. If there is enlightenment – which can only happen because it is the will of God – then it means the ‘one’ who had earlier wanted enlightenment has been annihilated. So no ‘one’ can achieve enlightenment and therefore no ‘one’ can enjoy enlightenment.”

From an interview – Chris Parish to Ramesh – How can we say that we know it is destiny or God’s will? All we know is that certain events take place. Afterward, we can look back on something we did and say, “It just happened,” and if we like, we can call it destiny. But isn’t it more accurate to say that we don’t really know whether it is destiny or not? Saying that we don’t know is different from saying “We know that it is God’s will.” It’s different from saying we know that everything is fixed. You see, it sounds to me like you’re saying that you do know that everything is the will of God.
Ramesh – We don’t know, and that is the bottom line; so if you like, you can drop the concept of destiny and say that nobody can really know anything. Fine!

Thousands visited Ramesh over the many years that he shared his concepts so willingly. Maybe you were there at some point. If so, this recording will refresh your experience of your own visit, as it did for me. – Gilbert

Includes some of the Bhajans from his regular meetings.
