16. It is all THAT – No exceptions – all inclusive
[ Comments Off on 16. It is all THAT – No exceptions – all inclusive ] Posted on 09.25.08 under Gilbert Schultz, Podcast
All concepts are ephemeral by nature, and they cannot bind Awareness – they simply are awareness itself appearing as forms ‘in or on’ Awareness. This program is all about this fact. No belief is asked for or required. The immediate experiencing is NOT of being a ‘person’. That fact is extremely subtle and yet so very, very obvious. It is not a concept….it is irrefutable….self-evident. If one truly hears what is being pointed out – it is the dissolution of all beliefs in ‘time and process’ – ‘a Path’ – and the clear presence of naked awareness is obvious – as it always IS. It is not ‘personal’. Enlightenment is not a personal achievement – no matter what any Guru, Teacher or anyone says.

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.

10. Exploring what you are
[ Comments Off on 10. Exploring what you are ] Posted on 07.08.08 under Gilbert Schultz, Podcast
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).

[ Comments Off on 7. Pointers Series – The answer is not in the mind ] Posted on 05.14.08 under Bob Adamson, Gilbert Schultz, Podcast
This is the third program in the pointers series examining Bob Adamson’s pointer that the answer is not in the mind – “Full stop, pause a thought, what is wrong with right now if you don’t think about it?” he tells us.
Included in the program is a short introduction by Gilbert Schultz. 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”).
A transcript of the program is available.

2. Pointers Series – Program 1: You are already That
[ Comments Off on 2. Pointers Series – Program 1: You are already That ] Posted on 03.04.08 under Bob Adamson, Gilbert Schultz, Podcast
This is our second program. This the first program of a series on ‘pointers’ (phrases) used in advaita. The pointer explored in this program is ‘You are already that’, a pointer used by Bob Adamson. Parallels are drawn between this pointer and one used by Nisagardatta of staying with the ‘I am.’
Bob Adamson is the main speaker. First of, in this program, Gilbert gives a hint about what ‘a pointer’ is. The main portion of the program is composed of excerpts taken from Bob Adamson’s meetings. A transcript of the program is available.

1. Gurus and the teaching
[ Comments Off on 1. Gurus and the teaching ] Posted on 03.01.08 under Bob Adamson, Gilbert Schultz, Podcast, Tony Parsons
There are many out there claiming to be ‘teaching’ non duality (advaita), but which of them really are? If your chosen teacher is making claims that he or she is enlightened then maybe you need to reconsider how useful such a ‘teacher’ is.
This podcast features audio clips that define what advaita ‘teaching’ is about and discuss the notion of ‘enlightenment.’ Three advaita ‘teachers’ in the program are Bob Adamson, Tony Parsons and Gilbert.
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.’
