I AM – the Alpha and Omega – Urban Guru Cafe http://urbangurucafe.com/2011/03/29/100-i-am-the-alpha-and-omega-urban-guru-cafe/ http://urbangurucafe.com/2011/03/29/100-i-am-the-alpha-and-omega-urban-guru-cafe/#comments Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:28:49 +0000 gilbert http://urbangurucafe.com/?p=1282 100 FREE PODCASTS

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.

If one were only to have this text to contemplate, it is enough. Its rich content touches the unfathomable nature of our existence. Written by the Chinese Third Patriarch of Chan (Zen in Japanese). His name, Chien-chih Seng-ts’an or Jianzhi Sengcan. The author is also known by the name Sosan in Japan. It seems fitting that so little is known about the author. The text transcends ‘the personal’ and reveals something profound about our true nature. If you have heard it before, then listen to it as fresh and new – because it IS fresh and new. Ram Dass said he read it for a very long time without understanding breaking through. Then it opened up into a profound meaning (paraphrasing). One can listen to it many times and its profundity is not diminished.

This program contains Part 1 of 2 parts of the text. Part two will appear in due course.
The excellent reading of the text is by Ram Dass. The second half of this program is a visit to a meeting at Bob Adamson’s Place.

This program is part two of a remarkable interview with ‘Sailor Bob’ Adamson.

Even for those who are very familiar with Bob’s so-called ‘teaching’ it will most certainly touch them. We advise you to listen to it a few times. There are many salient points that Bob expresses and each one has a potency that cuts through even the concept of there being a teaching. It is all about right here, right now. Seeing-knowing – this presence that you are.

The ripples from these two programs are already spreading far and wide. The interview contains so many pointers delivered in a remarkably relaxed way. Let it sink in.

A BOOKLET of the transcript (of both programs) is available to post out – visit shiningthroughthemind.net to get the details or email Gilbert for them.

Some beautiful music from Erik Satie and Anouar Brahem

Remarkable, because of various elements – the first being that it has a quality of a ‘one to one’ or ‘heart to heart’ which is not always present in meeting recordings. Bob very clearly exposes, one after another, the erroneous beliefs and ideas that ‘we’ hold onto in our misunderstanding of Non Duality or reality, if you like. This unique interview (split into two parts) should not be missed – even by those who are very familiar with Bob’s message for it is bound to have an impact. -With unswerving clarity, Bob openly demonstrates a clear understanding which removes all the difficulties of belief. THIS clear understanding is totally accessible to anyone and everyone – just listen. – It is suggested that you listen to it a few times. Let it sink in.  All you have to do is follow what is being pointed out and ‘Hear it’. – Part two appears after this program.  Music by Erik Satie – and additional music by Anouar Brahem.

Bob’s latest book “One Essence expressing and appearing as Everything” is an excellent follow up to this interview – it is available through Bob’s website.

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”).

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.’
