92. Darryl Bailey – Dismantling the fantasy

[ Comments Off on 92. Darryl Bailey – Dismantling the fantasy ] Posted on 09.09.10 under Darryl Bailey

“Darryl Bailey was drawn to meditation at age fourteen, he spent the next seventeen years exploring awareness and concentration practices from Christian, Hindu, Sufi, Taoist, Buddhist, and Western psychology sources.”

Many will not have heard of Darryl and no wonder. He has been quietly staying out of the limelight and enjoying it that way. Everything changes. Areti chats with Darryl about life and stuff. His recent book “Dismantling the Fantasy” is published by Non Duality Press.

Music includes: Bob Dylan, Andreas Vollenweider, Clannad, Dave Loggins, James Taylor, Mozart and Supertramp.

THE URBAN GURU CAFE NEEDS TO FIND A WIDER AUDIENCE AND IF YOU CAN HELP ACHIEVE THAT PLEASE DO SO.  Speak to your local community Radio Stations about having them broadcast the 100 programs, maybe one a week.  The Urban Guru Cafe has been dedicated to presenting clear speakers who do not ask anyone to believe anything they say. They merely point and discuss what we call Non Duality. Donations will keep this site available for new comers.  At any moment someone may SEE through the illusion of being separate.  This site is for them and the potential of insight – and for nothing more than that.

87. Jiddu Krishnamurti – Choiceless awareness

[ Comments Off on 87. Jiddu Krishnamurti – Choiceless awareness ] Posted on 07.09.10 under Podcast

This is our second program on Jiddu Krishnamurti. He was discovered and announced as a ‘World Teacher’ by Dr. Annie Besant of the Theosophical Society, he later renounced the position saying that “Truth is a Pathless Land”. This program actually contains certain salient points that are a key to understanding the ‘situation’ we find ourselves in. These points may pass over your head unless you pay close attention. I advise you listen to what he says as often as it takes for them to reveal themselves clearly. The previous program on J. Krishnamurti should also be listened to again if necessary. Remember that it is not about the messenger. The clarity of the pointing is what this is all about. Krishnamurti was often very blunt with his pointing. This program is a stand alone pointer. In effect, as a producer, I have taken the salient points and given them new life in a new form. This program expresses the basics, without all the unnecessary extras. The bare bones of it all is in this presentation.

Many websites can be found dedicated to J. Krishnamurti. Here is one – Click here.

Music includes: Bach, Annour Brahem and a piece by Jacqueline Du Pre on Cello.

The UGC is a free podcast of the subject of Non Duality or reality, as it is. Small donations are welcome.

THE URBAN GURU CAFE IS A FREE PODCAST

Some of the essential points which J. Krishnamurti shared are in this program.

In 1929 Krishnamurti dissolved ‘The Order’, which, he was made the head of – because he recognized that he was being turned into an idol of worship.  He says: “I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief. A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others”..(end of quote).  The program is a pointer, fresh and new.
