Urban Guru Cafe

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.

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.

Paul Hedderman’s background has been with assisting those with addiction problems over many years. The 12 step program has some very potent ‘pointers’, which, by chance or some by other means, has assisted a few to go beyond the 12 steps. Paul is not talking exclusively about AA, the Big Book or the 12 step program here. Actually it is all closely aligned with what we discuss here at the UGC. It is a different slant on the same non-thing.

Music includes: Massive Attack, James Taylor, Bob Dylan, Crash Test Dummies (Canada), James Reyne (Aussie), Gary Jules, DJ Cam Feat and Ray Charles. Doubt, Deliverance and The International.

Continuing on from part 1. Dan, Morgan and Kimo share their insights on this subject of ‘Non Duality’. A demonstration that clear ‘pointing’ is happening – it is not a matter of ‘someone’ standing on a platform, wearing the ‘guru’ garments. Clear and present ‘Pointing’ is not inhibited by conditions of ‘membership’ or hefty fees and devotional attitudes. In fact a single blade of grass swaying in the breeze can ‘point’ you to your own true essence.

Music includes: Stevie Wonder, Gigi, Bob Dylan, Dan (our Dan), Ry Cooder, Mercan Dede, Jethro Tull, Alan Parsons Project, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Crosby Stills and Nash, The Beatles and Sam the Sham. – Voice cuts from TV and Movies: The Matrix, Deliverance, The Riches, The Street and the opening text was written by Bill Bryson, taken from ‘the introduction’ in his excellent ‘light read’ book “A Short History of Everything”. We might track Bill down for an interview.
