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.

As the audio quality of some of the excerpts is not high, a transcript of the program is on this link, in blue.

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.’

A transcript of the program is available.
