Urban Guru Cafe

New program……Listen up. How anyone could miss what is being pointed out is remarkable.  Approximately 36 hours of programs and seeking is still happening?

The grasping consciousness known as ‘the seeker’ ignores the obvious and wants ‘God himself’ to come down out of the clouds and be his personal teacher. Sadly many believe that God has done just that. It is all Bunkum.

Music inclusions:  Canned Heat, Radiohead, The Swell Season, Zero 7, Jethro Tull, Bob Dylan, Rivertriibe, The Kinks and Pipkins with “Give me dat thing”.

The UGC is Phenomena. Everything is phenomena. Put another nickle in the Nickelodeon. This unprecedented ’service’ is free but there are costs involved. Donate a small amount to keep this site going, if you find some value in it. You might even feel good about it.

Everything is Consciousness – there are no exceptions.

A sound-scape with a few words thrown in.

A brief program that may assist in the exploration of ‘one’s own’ conscious presence.

That ‘one’s own’ conscious presence is actually the Universal Presence of Awareness.

No theories or beliefs are needed.

Mandolin music composition and playing by Gilbert. – Program is only 7 minutes long.

Everything, including all concepts and all pointing appear nowhere other than in the natural state of seeing, knowing – you are THAT.

Being is silent – just as in nature, the realm of concepts and expressions may also elicit a resonance in being.

This is a relaxed exploration via various ‘pointers’. Recorded in the backyard garden – the birds join in.

Music interludes by these bands: Argentina, Radio Kabul, Zarafa and Yes (a great band from the 70s).
