64. Gilbert – ‘So Clear – So Obvious’

gilbert — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 05:00:57 +0000

Areti interviews Gilbert. An opportunity to re-discover the in-describe-able essence of what you are. Listen to it on line or download it.

Music includes: Pink Floyd, Ten Years After and Annour Brahem. from his new-ish CD is called Barzakh.

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’.

61. Rodney Stevens – Radiance of Being – part two

gilbert — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:31:36 +0000

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.

This free podcast site is not a commercial enterprise. Nothing is asked of the visitor. Belief is not required. The makers of the programs and the speakers give their time and effort freely. It is a sense of sharing what is known to be true – expressed in so many different ways – not by one particular ‘lineage’ or teaching. EVERYONE is THAT. All expressions are THAT. What is ‘aimed at’ is the calling forth of a recognition of one’s true nature. All the participants on this site ‘give back’. They shine their ‘light’ ‘on the path’ so that others can find their way.

areti — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 15:56:33 +0000

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.

areti — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 03:59:06 +0000

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.
