Discovering what you truly are
82. Christine Wushke – self-shining Yoga teacher.
[ Comments Off on 82. Christine Wushke – self-shining Yoga teacher. ] Posted on 05.18.10 under Christine Wushke
We found Christine on a video interview with Rafael Stoneman on facebook – then we contacted her and here is the ‘result’. Christine is NOT an Advaita Teacher. She is simple – in the nicest possible way – her responses do not come from some tradition. She lives in Canada.
Music is composed by a friend of Christines, the piece is called “Elixirs for the Human Heart” from The Science of Peace series by Larry Seyer and David Wilcox. The last piece of vocal music is by Vas and is called ‘Unbecoming’.
You can find Christine on her blog and on a w/site and on facebook if you are inclined to do so.

[ Comments Off on 81. There IS no one talking – UG ] Posted on 05.12.10 under UG Krishnamurti
THE URBAN GURU CAFE IS A FREE PODCAST WHICH DOES NOT ASK THE LISTENER TO BELIEVE IN ANYTHING.
The train stops here, right here, right NOW. You can carry on searching but the search will only be in your own imagination.
UG Krishnamurti is expressing directness through these recordings. These last three programs may signify a cutting away of erroneous beliefs. It is a celebration of a messenger who refused to be categorized. There is no teaching – no teacher – just pointing. Whether it resonates or not appears to depend on the willingness to let go of preconceived ideas. The resistance is the ‘me’.
The extraordinary music includes Vassilis Tsabropoulos, Anja Lechner and U.T. Gandhi, the CD is titled “Melos” – plus another piece from Annour Brahem from a CD titled “Barkakh” – and a well known classic Pink Floyd track.

75. David Carse – Perfect Brilliant Stillness
[ Comments Off on 75. David Carse – Perfect Brilliant Stillness ] Posted on 03.14.10 under David Carse
In this program the legendary British actor Terence Stamp reads selected extracts from the book that he says “changed my life”, Perfect Brilliant Stillness by David Carse. These extracts, like the full unabridged audiobook (which can be download for a reasonable fee from Silksoundbooks), is an exploration of our ‘existence’ – THAT, which cannot be denied. In The fine print at the start of his book, David Carse wrote: There are many books out there that will help you to live a better life, become a better person, evolve and grow to realize your potential as a spiritual being. This is not one of them.
It should be noted that the various audio selections used in this program amounts ot a mere fraction of the full version. The book is quite extensive and covers many aspects of this ‘subject’.
The hard copy of the book is available through Non Duality Press. Look for it in your local ‘spiritual bookshop’ or order it directly from Non Duality Press.
NOTE: These selected passages appear as one program. The contents here are only a fraction of the full Audio Book.
Music includes: Ruben Diaz (Guitar), a brilliant composer Thomas Dybdahl selections and a brief appearance of The Muse (Bliss).

74. Talkin’ about nothin’ – Kenneth Madden
[ Comments Off on 74. Talkin’ about nothin’ – Kenneth Madden ] Posted on 03.08.10 under Kenneth Madden
Kenneth Madden is from Galway, Ireland, and is a relatively unknown ‘speaker’ on Non Duality. That ‘relatively unknown’ is about to change and many will enjoy Kenneth’s expression, simple and direct. This is it – just as it is. He is also an accomplished photographer and you can see some excellent examples of his work on his site. Sure enough ‘Never not Here’ interviewed Kenneth shortly after this program was published.
Kenneth’s Blogsite is here.
It’s a bit of fun and it’s high time too – a good laugh may just nudge its way out of an overly concerned seeker’s big wooly pullover.
Music by a truly wonderful band called Planxty, who once upon a time were Ireland’s most popular folk group (unless we are mistaken). We love Irish music here at the UGC.
The UGC is a free podcast site – uncompromising and yet quite enjoyable. – Small donations are welcome.
Our promise is to entertain without being overly serious and yet still bring it all back to direct pointing – with no overbearing ‘personalities’ pushing their own ‘wheelbarrow message’ about themselves and how sacred they are.
72. Relaxing into THAT. (No Crusade – No Mission)
[ Comments Off on 72. Relaxing into THAT. (No Crusade – No Mission) ] Posted on 02.21.10 under Bob Adamson, Gilbert Schultz, Stephen Wingate
New program. How can anyone possibly miss what is being pointed at? Beats me. There is no mission impossible here – no mission at all.
Music includes: Mal Webb, Ray Charles, Gilbert, The Swell Season (piano piece), Paul Simon, Ry Cooder, James Taylor, Bliss, Bob Dylan and the fantastic music of Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks with “Humming to myself” (a Non Duality song…ha).
Free podcast on Non Duality. No fees, no membership, no hassles. Just direct pointing presented in an unconventional manner.
As a bit of a joke, the following was posted here……NOTICE: YES, the UGC is up for grabs – best offer wins – No offers were made via emailed in.
71. What is THAT ?
[ Comments Off on 71. What is THAT ? ] Posted on 02.12.10 under Bob Adamson, Gilbert Schultz, Jeff Foster, Randall Friend, Stephen Wingate
No Crusade – No Mission. You may think and believe that you have heard it all before. Well, maybe the salient points have not hit home as yet. So this is why we take a look at some of them in the fresh presentation of short extracts (snippets as Arteti calls them). In this ‘part two’ there are clips from the early programs
Music includes: Bob Dylan, Eric Satie, Annour Brahem, Matt Walters (Aussie singer songwriter) Bliss, Rivertribe (Aussie band) and a few others I will add to this list soon.
The UGC is a free podcast on the subject of Non Duality. Nothing quite like it appears anywhere else. Small donations can be made via the websiteto keep this site happening. Warm regards from the UGC Team. No Crusade – No Mission.
69. Randall Friend – Undefineable – Part 2
[ Comments Off on 69. Randall Friend – Undefineable – Part 2 ] Posted on 01.08.10 under Randall Friend
We are back packing a punch – remember that memory and anticipation do not actually obscure clear and present awareness. What value does a ‘pointer’ have? The offering of clear pointers (and the recognition of our true nature) is priceless.
In the appearance of space and time, in program number 69, Areti continues to explore Randall’s unique expression on what Non Duality is, ‘as if’ it could be defined.
Randall’s blog is You Are Dreaming. His book is You Are No-Thing from Non-Duality Press. Randall holds talks in Second Life on Tuesdays. See the Virtual UGC page for more information.
Music includes: Rivertribe (Australian Band) Radiohead, Sandy Denny with Fairport Convention, Cat Empire Project, China Crisis, Paul Brady, Judy Collins and Manfred Mann.
This free podcast site does not ask you for anything. Belief is not necessary – see for yourself – small donations help to cover costs – What value does a ‘pointer’ have? Offering clear pointers to absolute strangers without asking for anything is self-less-ness in action. Compassion expresses itself through pointers and the recognition of our true nature is priceless.
