48. Paul Hedderman – In Recovery – Part 1.
[ Comments Off on 48. Paul Hedderman – In Recovery – Part 1. ] Posted on 08.03.09 under Paul Hedderman, Podcast
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.
Zen Bitch Slap is Paul’s website, click HERE to go there after listening to the program.
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.

47. It’s YOURS right here, right NOW – Kimo, Dan and Morgan # 2
[ Comments Off on 47. It’s YOURS right here, right NOW – Kimo, Dan and Morgan # 2 ] Posted on 07.24.09 under Podcast
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.

[ Comments Off on 37. Across Space and Time – Program #3 – Nisargadatta Tapes ] Posted on 04.23.09 under Nisargadatta Maharaj, Podcast
This tape is from January 1981. The atmosphere is ‘alive’ with activities and the pointing is constant. Jean Dunn was present in the meeting. Jean published three books of transcripts from tapes similar to these ones featured here on the UGC. The word Fakir is used several times at one point. A Fakir is a Yogi, trained to go beyond the body. An example is: a bed of nails is used by a Fakir.

35. Appearance and Sensation – Randall Friend
[ Comments Off on 35. Appearance and Sensation – Randall Friend ] Posted on 04.10.09 under Podcast, Randall Friend
Gilbert introduces Randall who shares some insights and explorations into the unknown. Randall’s website
The extract is from a talk by Randal called “Oneness of Consciousness” – hear the rest through the link above.
Randall’s first book is being published in early May – The title is “You Are No Thing” – publisher Non-Duality Press.
Comedy: A short piece from the late and great Bill Hicks is featured at the beginning.
Short music interludes include: James Taylor, Flamenco Arabe, Bob Lind, Ray Stevens, Joe South and Chrissie Hynde.
A recording of Helen Adie playing a Gurdjieff piano piece from a collection of music called “Dances and Chants of the Seids” – an unusually ‘moving’ piece of music.
Point of interest: Helen Adie, a concert pianist during her early life in London, was Gilbert’s ‘sacred dance’ (‘movements’) teacher for many years. She played Piano for the Movement Classes in Paris (Fontainebleau) for G.I. Gurdjieff . Helen and her husband George Adie were pupils of Gurdjieff. This music, along with many other pieces, was recorded by Gilbert in the 80’s. There is a 3 CD set of the music available (or was for a few years). It may be hard to find. Some of the pieces are exceptionally ‘moving’. As I remember it, Helen was flown to the US to play pieces for the production of Peter Brook’s film, on Gurdjieff’s early life, called “Meetings with Remarkable Men”. Some of the ‘movements’ appear in that film. You can see them on google video.
