226) Contemplating Feelings of Separation in the Body

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:53:11 GMT

How can I uproot the sense of separation hidden in feelings such as sadness?

225) Treat Everyone and Everything as they Truly Are

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:20:43 GMT

I, as this Consciousness, must be different to another person because I do not experience their thoughts, feelings, perceptions or sensations.

224) The Hero of the Story

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:11:15 GMT

I am aware that there is a contradiction when I say I identify myself with this body but I can't help the contradiction although it is obvious that the body is an object.

223) From Doing to Being to Celebrating

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 11:08:57 GMT

I’m not sure if it’s more important to be watchful of the movement of thoughts, feelings, perceptions throughout the day, or to keep inquiring into whether or not it’s possible to find a separate self.

222) All we know is Knowing or Experiencing and that is your Self

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 09:22:44 GMT

The object of knowledge is always in knowledge and knowledge is not affected by the thing known. So there is knowledge and knowledge alone, without reference to the thing known. This is the ultimate Truth or Atma, your real nature.

221) Consciousness doesn't have Relationships

Mon, 20 Jun 2011 14:04:17 GMT

What is the real relationship between brain, spirit and consciousness, or could one say that the human being with a functional brain is the prerequisite of consciousness being aware of itself?

220) A Tsunami of Me-ness

Fri, 03 Jun 2011 15:45:15 GMT

Weeks will go by for when there seems to be clarity and many moments of seeing that there is "nobody" here. Then suddenly out of nowhere there comes a tsunami of "me-ness" trying to assert itself..... In these moments it seems that I am completely identified with my “self” again. The clarity and peace and calm appear to have gone.

218) Give Yourself Total Freedom

Mon, 21 Mar 2011 08:06:07 GMT

Do you just let life play out as your destiny?

217) Presence is Peace Itself

Fri, 18 Mar 2011 07:40:43 GMT

I can´t say I feel “in presence” or in “total peace” or even in a state of “knowing” or “touched by grace”. Can you share some light in why is that?

216) Words Are More Than Pointers

Wed, 23 Feb 2011 13:03:41 GMT

I assume that you do not mean them (ever-present Consciousness or Awareness) as some sort of thing, an object or concept that can be grasped. If this is so, why use such terms as it seems to imply content when my understanding is there is only absolute emptiness, unspeakable, indefinable, indescribable and void of all content?

215) Is It Necessary To Have Only One Teacher?

Mon, 21 Feb 2011 11:30:10 GMT

I find myself inclined to listen to various expressions and it's been hard for me to focus on one teacher. Is this something I should overcome or can I see things unfold naturally?

214) How Do We Know That Awareness Is Ever-Present?

Tue, 08 Feb 2011 09:39:28 GMT

Can Awareness without an object, as in deep sleep, be experienced and, if not, how is it known that it is present at all?

213) One Is Never A Genius Or A Fool

Wed, 26 Jan 2011 08:38:57 GMT

If one was a genius but did not know or even explore who or what he was, is he intelligent?

212) Sooner Or Later We Fall Silent

Tue, 25 Jan 2011 08:28:12 GMT

I just wish I could find a verb to better reflect that process, rather than rely on a word (Consciousness) which sounds like just one more object.

211) Our Unique 'I' Identity

Mon, 24 Jan 2011 09:20:39 GMT

Surely the combination of the body/mind's genetic make-up plus the "world" as experienced sensations equals a unique "I" identity. Or is this way off?

European Master - Blueprints For Awakening

210) Where To Go From Here?

Mon, 17 Jan 2011 07:22:17 GMT

I realize that I am not the body/mind/ego nor that I am the doer so where to from here?

209) Everything Is Now (And There Are No Things)

Wed, 12 Jan 2011 08:41:05 GMT

The substance out of which all apparent objects are made is this eternal Presence which knows no birth or death.

208) Eternal Presence

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 06:26:41 GMT

The question I have is whether I should strive to regain experiences. I have heard people talking about letting grace take its course but also heard that one should establish firmly in the seeing. What would be your suggestion for me?

207) Emptiness and Presence

Mon, 10 Jan 2011 09:33:24 GMT

Are Awareness and Emptiness the same thing and would that also be Presence?

206) Seeking Is An Act Of Love

Tue, 16 Nov 2010 06:26:54 GMT

Seeking and practicing seem contrived. Any words of advice?

205) Only One Reality

Mon, 15 Nov 2010 07:34:35 GMT

If I'm not really limited and located in one place, then why should I have such a difficulty in knowing anything in the macrocosm or in the microcosm?

204) Mind and Duality

Thu, 11 Nov 2010 08:17:02 GMT

When the concept of separation dissolves, what allows the underlying Consciousness to be experienced instead of the appearances? And is this happening in mind?

203) Deep Sleep, Anaesthesia and Death

Wed, 10 Nov 2010 09:23:42 GMT

How can you actually be so sure that Consciousness knows itself during deep sleep, or under anaesthesia or when death occurs and hence no future reconfiguration of the mind?

202) Embodiment vs. Transcending The Body

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 11:17:07 GMT

Would you say that there is a inherent danger in embodiment practices like yoga, qigong etc. (or even worse: working out at the gym) in the way that they strengthen our identification with our body instead of loosening or even transcending it?

201) What Is Self-Remembering?

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 09:19:21 GMT

Do you think spending time and putting efforts in the initial stage helped you later?

200) The Transmission of Silence, Love and Understanding

Sat, 06 Nov 2010 18:15:07 GMT

Do you think spiritual energy (in spiritual places) helps in the path?

199) Seamless Intimacy

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 07:37:40 GMT

I think one of the greatest obstacles I seem to face is that I have ideas of what it might look like to not hang onto a personal sense of 'me.'

198) All We Ever Long For

Mon, 04 Oct 2010 08:35:40 GMT

You sometimes describe the end of seeking as the experience of love or happiness but calling it that just sets up another seeking pattern, another idea, about what this is.

197) The Only One That Truly Is

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 09:57:21 GMT

I see that things just happen and that Awareness is, without anything I do and that if I identify with this Conscious Presence and then see what it is, then I am also nothing and yet everything is without any centre.

196) We Fall Silent

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 09:49:32 GMT

How can I acknowledge that an object exists apart from me and at the same time how can I be one with it?

195) Awareness - Mine Or Yours?

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 10:57:32 GMT

While there is no doubt that I am Awareness, am I not a facet of Awareness different from the facet of Awareness that you are?

194) Without The Non-Sacred The Sacred Cannot Stand

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 10:50:09 GMT

Have been wondering: is the sacred, holy part necessary, once one knows what is? I mean all that talk and worshipping of "God", rituals etc. etc. In my view it is pure none-sense, isn't it? Or must that all be considered as part of the "dream" ? Hope you understand what I mean.

193) The Entity And Its Search

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 08:29:02 GMT

I do this investigation in order to get rid of something...There is always an agenda, even if it is a very very subtle one.

192) La Petite Mort

Fri, 24 Sep 2010 09:19:55 GMT

Do you have anything to say on the matter of physical/bodily effort?

I'm noticing that when I'm doing physical work such as running, lifting heavy things or when I'm tired, I seem to identify more often as a separate self than usual.

191) Why Think Of Reincarnation

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 11:28:59 GMT

If I know myself as pure Consciousness, formless pure light. Does that mean that when I quit that apparent entity, that personality, that ego, that apparent me will dissolve completely?

190) Time Is Thought Superimposed On Eternity

Wed, 22 Sep 2010 09:00:56 GMT

Would you please comment on the following statement. "Everything that ever has happened, is happening or ever will happen has already happened, and it's happening right now in this present moment."

189) The Entity And Its Search

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 09:23:23 GMT

You always mention, that when we do this investigation we shouldn't have a subtle agenda, not to do it in order to get rid of something etc.

188) Cease Investing Your Attention In Objects

Fri, 17 Sep 2010 07:42:35 GMT

What I long for is that period of childhood where all you were interested in was playing and having fun. No fear of death or life. Has the child gone away, or is just underneath lots of ideas?

187) Something Cannot Come From Nothing

Wed, 15 Sep 2010 09:24:32 GMT

Both 'something,' 'nothing' and, therefore, 'everything' are illusions. Only Presence is.

186) Simply Stay With This Presence

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 07:42:43 GMT

I am afraid of trading the spiritual practices and beliefs that I was never completely sure of, for the slippery tenuousness of an intellectual understanding of duality.

Interview with Areti Alexova - Urban Guru Cafe - August 2010

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 08:39:52 GMT

185) The Transparent Colourless Presence Of Awareness

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 10:25:55 GMT

If we are Awareness then why would I have such a hard time feeling that presence in my everyday life?

184) Is The Physical Body Of Any Importance Whatever?

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 08:26:10 GMT

Do you have any words to offer on the health of the physical body, which is bound to die, anyway?

183) I Am Me

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 07:21:34 GMT

Because 'I am' is real the mind wants to go there. However, because it is not objective, the mind cannot.

182) Waiting For Grace To Alight

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:30:38 GMT

Is there a particular question or practice that ultimately worked to end this illusion for you or is it like the other non-dualists say and one just waits for grace to alight while walking or shopping!

181) That Smile And Those Tears

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 07:40:11 GMT

What is your motivation to create your art work?What is your motivation to create your art work?

180) Love, Peace And Happiness Are Always Non-Dual (2)

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 11:55:50 GMT

Why do spiritual masters use the term Love to denote the Absolute?

179) Consciousness Is Ever-Present Ever-Here

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 09:07:03 GMT

I feel that omniscience is realized as Consciousness but have not been able to achieve this. Is this because I'm still trapped in the mind-body world? If so, what can be done to move beyond into that omniscient state, the true nature of All?

178) 'I' And All Other Objects Are One Being

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 11:23:40 GMT

Are my friends not there when I'm not there? Is anything there when I'm not there?

177) Does Awareness Come From The Brain?

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:59:35 GMT

I'd appreciate your view on the materialist assertion, now made popular by Dawkins et al., that awareness is an epiphenomenon of brain processes.

176) Giving Up The Personal Entity

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 09:59:58 GMT

Am I right in thinking that there is no point in planning any part of life, just simply give up and see what happens?

175) Love, Peace and Happiness are Always Non-Dual

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:42:13 GMT

Krishnamurti is not saying you "may" be the world, he said you "are" the world. Where is his certainty coming from?

174) Freedom From Suffering

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 11:42:01 GMT

Do you have a comment about finally resting in lasting Happiness?

Interview with Paula Marvelly - June 2010

Mon, 09 Aug 2010 22:00:15 GMT

173) All Experience Is Through Consciousness Alone

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:00:17 GMT

I am still wanting to understand why there appears to be a relationship (not identity) with a particular body mind, Greg.

172) 'I' Is The Reality Of All Possible Things

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:55:52 GMT

I'm sure you're giving a different sense to the word "Knowing" and I'd be very grateful if you could explain it to me.

171) The Twilight Zone Of Inadvertance

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:53:16 GMT

What knowledge gives us knowledge of Ultimate Reality?

170) On Facing Suffering In Others

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:51:05 GMT

What is the best response when faced with another's intense suffering?

169) 'I' is Self-Luminous, Self-Evident, Self-Existent and Self-Knowing

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:47:56 GMT

To be honest, I can't really fathom what this is, or what I am. It just wont collapse down into something I can look at, and I have tried and tried. Just when I think I've got it, It slips through my fingers.

168) Deep Sleep, Death and Reincarnation

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 12:12:52 GMT

It appears that there is a brand new conciousness that comes with each new creature, based on the fact that I don't remember anything before I was born.

Deep Sleep, Death and Reincarnation

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 12:03:37 GMT

167) Tired Of Being 'Me'

Fri, 04 Jun 2010 14:08:37 GMT

How do I or can you provide me with techniques or direct experiences to feel or witness the Beingness 'I am?'

166) Devotion To The Truth

Mon, 31 May 2010 05:00:01 GMT

Can we remain 24 hours as Consciousness directly or is it necessary for the mind to perform some spiritual devotion?

165) Direct Experience Is All There Is

Mon, 31 May 2010 04:12:12 GMT

What is the definition of 'direct-experience?' How can I be certain that direct-experience is the only criteria for investigation?

164) The Non-Existent Entity

Mon, 31 May 2010 02:41:46 GMT

In 'The Timeless Place' you state that the situation will respond to the situation. Is this yet another area where we once believed that the separate entity had control but in reality has none?

163) Addiction, Porn and Pseudo Advaita

Mon, 31 May 2010 01:34:06 GMT

How do we, as spiritual seekers, avoid the tragic pitfall of addiction?

162) Bodily Pain

Mon, 03 May 2010 21:13:03 GMT

Is it possible to take pain for granted the same way other bodily sensations and thoughts can be taken for granted when they appear?

161) The Resonance of Presence

Mon, 03 May 2010 20:51:00 GMT

When you refer to the totality, is this totality private or is it shared?

160) The Ever-Present Seamlessness of Experience

Mon, 05 Apr 2010 05:33:42 GMT

Is it not the case that Consciousness requires a body/mind apparatus in order to become a knower/perceiver?

158) Enlightenment Can Never Threaten Love

Mon, 05 Apr 2010 03:53:39 GMT

I do not, under any circumstance, wish to risk hurting my wife or our relationship by my interest in spiritual fulfillment.

157) An Invocation To Our Deepest Understanding

Mon, 05 Apr 2010 03:00:55 GMT

How do we account for what seems like unthinkable human actions such as rape, murder, abuse, child molestation, slavery, etc.?

156) The Real And Only 'I' Of Presence

Mon, 05 Apr 2010 01:57:56 GMT

I feel like I am going around in circles trying to find out the source of the "I-Thought" which Ramana says is the self.

155) Pure Unbroken Silence

Sun, 04 Apr 2010 19:54:07 GMT

Will reactivity will change over time and die down to silence?

154) All That Is Ever Known And All That Ever Is

Sun, 04 Apr 2010 17:57:04 GMT

We assume that Awareness experiences itself through only one mind. Is this only how our mind interprets/filters our experience?

153) Awareness Is Full Of Itself Alone

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 05:20:55 GMT

I sort of understand at times that the emptiness is awareness and that is who I am. Should I be holding on to that emptiness?

152) The Ever-Present Reality of Existence

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 05:12:17 GMT

What appears or is born when the body appears and what dies or disappears when the body dies?

151) That Which Truly Is, Eternally and Only Is

Sat, 27 Mar 2010 13:45:52 GMT

Is there no distinction between "Absolute Awareness" and Consciousness that comes with the body and merges with "Absolute Awareness" when the body dies?

150) The Indivisible Ever-Presence of Consciousness

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:53:24 GMT

Does one eventually, on fully realizing that he is Awareness and Awareness alone, eventually shift perspective entirely?

149) Consciousness is Identical with Itself Alone

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 02:20:19 GMT

The sense we have that Consciousness is located as or in the body is a result of Consciousness and the cluster of sensations we call the body.

148) The Knowing of Our Own Being

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:45:22 GMT

There is this knowing and still a question.

147) Is The World Within You?

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 00:42:24 GMT

What is meant by 'the world is within you?'

146) How Do I Just Let Go And Be?

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 18:26:34 GMT

How do I just let go and be?

145) All Things Seem But Cannot Be

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Are you saying that phenomenal appearance has reality?

144) Absolutism and Advaita Correctness

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

From an absolutist viewpoint, the truth of what we are can never be other than what we are.

143) What Can One Say To The Child?

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

I’m aware that the search itself is the thing blocking understanding.

142) The Doer vs. The Non-Doer

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

I'm struggling with the conflict between me as the 'doer' vs. the non-doer.

141) The Substance of Experience is Only Consciousness

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Consciousness only sees only itself. Right?

140) Happiness Is Knowing Our Own Being

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

What is the experience of pure Consciousness?

139) Consciousness Without An Object

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

As long as Consciousness-as-a-human-being appears in Consciousness, how is Consciousness ever without an object?

138) It Is What I Am

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Is it possible to penetrate this mystery?

137) Think, Feel And Act As Awareness

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

How can my feeling match the understanding that I have?

136) A Response Of The Totality To The Totality

Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Could you tell me something about courage and timidity?

135) Non-duality And Psychological Fear Are Incompatible

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Could the reading of your book have triggered this deep fear?

134) Deep Sleep, Consciousness and Memory

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Why doesn't Conciousness have a mechanism to remember its experience during deep sleep?

133) Enlightenment Does Not Happen To A Body Or A Mind

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Is there a moment called awakening?

132) Thoughts Do Not Happen To A Body/Mind

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Why do some kinds of thought happen to 'my' body-mind but not others?

131) Does Experience Come and Go?

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

You said our experience is made out of the Knowingness. But the other hand, we can see the experience comes and goes. Is there anything contradictory here?

130) The Substance of Experience

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

If I take a deeper look and ask if there are really two things there or just one substance, I find that there is only 'Knowingness' there and no other thing. The 'Knowingness' knows itself. Is my understanding correct?

129) No Distance At All

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

'How' does one get the feeling that a table in front of the body is made out of the knowing?

128) The 'Me' Dies of Neglect

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

The experience here, now, is that a sentence will start, and then end in the middle.

127) Awakening and Self-Realisation

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

What connection does the clearing of unconscious, limiting beliefs have with awakening and self-realization?

126) "Benevolent Indifference"

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Is the complete dissolution of the self contraction an actual possibility, or is it just another thought?

125) Is Consciousness Limited?

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Consciousness here is not experiencing what Consciousness where you are is experiencing.

124) Love of Beauty is Identical to Love of Truth

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Would you please point out the most common fallacies/beliefs that seekers have.

123) All Experience Is Real

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

In what sense is the world considered to be an illusion?

122) Established In Peace

Sat, 16 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

So to me it was like ego switched places with being. Is that what I have been aiming for?

121) Experiential Understanding

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

In day to day living the I is still very much present and indeed mischievous.

120) Do We Reside In The Body?

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Realizing myself as Consciousness is blocked by my belief that I am this body.

119) There Is Only Pure Intimacy

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

When do objects become solid?

118) Morality and Nonduality

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

If everything is one, what is wrong with causing harm or enjoying life's pleasures?

117) Do We See The Same Clouds?

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

We project the world we perceive but what about the other minds that enter our projected world?

116) Is Consciousness Located?

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Could you please explain why Consciousness is not the product of the brain and why Consciousness is not local.

115) Taking Our Stand As Awareness

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

I am still feeling confused about "taking my stand as Awareness" and welcoming and letting whatever arises be as it is.

114) There Is Never Any Illusion At Any Time

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

I wonder why Consciousness arises as illusion?

113) Presence Does Not Love. It IS love.

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

I just want to love everyone and everything, a silent love without any words.....

112) The Difference Between Blankness And Emptiness

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

What is troubling is that I have found two distinct attitudes regarding the nature of this blankness.

111) Wisdom And Love

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Is that It?! What a feeling, so flat, so ordinary and so simple.

110) Does Doing Imply A Doer?

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I still experience the pain and depression and suffer tremendously no matter what 'I do.'

109) You Never Cease To Be

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

There is something very deep inside of me that still wants to hold on....and the feeling that I get when I go to that deep place is fear....that I will not exist anymore. How can I overcome this fear? How can I believe what I know?

108) The Significance Of All Things

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Do the apparently individual groupings of cognizing Awareness (which we think of as 'I') reappear or do you think each is only temporary and totally insignificant?

107) The Knowing/Being Element In All Experience

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

What connection, if any, does the clearing of unconscious, limiting beliefs have with awakening and self-realization?

106) The Abode Of Love

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Why do I have this powerful yearning, this ache, to merge deeply and completely with a woman?

105) Establishment In Peace

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Does true awakening leave no doubts? How can anything change that would not ever be able to be put down to yet another experience or a function of mind?

104) Experiencing And Myself Are One

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I can say from memory that there a constriction or cramp can drop away leaving a freedom which is 'being what is happening.' And I yearn to live like that all the time. If you could help me tease that apart I would be indebted to you.

103) Who Dies?

Fri, 25 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

As no individual entity whatsoever exists to be reborn, then death would mean the same final release for all pseudo-individuals whether 'liberated in this life' ["enlightened"] or not?

102) "Because There Is Love" (OASG 113)

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Do you think that "love" has any reality outside of the conceptual arena?

101) Offering Everything To Presence (OASG 112)

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

It's very disheartening to find oneself in the middle of old arguments instead of the more Conscious, clear state that I'm getting used to. I wonder how much Un-Consciousness is needed to function in our everyday lives?

100) The Seed Of Separation (OASG 111)

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Will you comment on Us All "realizing" as one Knowing Presence,' e.g. a commonly-sensed-conscious-Self and/or how humanity as a whole can see its self: pragmatically/actually awakening to being One, No One and Many?

99) "Trailing Clouds Of Glory" (OASG 110)

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

If thoughts are mere firing of neurons happening based on past experience, does that mean we are all prophets to a point?

98) Immanent And Transcendent (OASG 109)

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Is this perhaps another way of saying, that when living in of from our pure natural state, there is no point of of view being taken?

97) The Resistance To What Is (OASG 108)

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Is there anything I can do that would actually stop this apparent self from arising or be aware of it more, see it for what it is while it is occuring and not be swept along with it?

96) Words Are The Outer Layer Of The Teaching (OASG 107)

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

As much as I enjoy the exchange with others on the path, all too often it turns from honest self-inquiry into a battlefield of opinions. Would you comment?

95) Being Shines At The Heart Of All Experience (OASG 106)

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Could you say something about the knowledge of non dual teachings verses the "seeing" or actualizing of it?

94) A Concept Is Not Necessarily A Belief (OASG 105)

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Would you agree that it is perhaps the development of the linguistic ability in humans and their use of language to communicate in a self-referential manner in relation to apparent others, that really lies at the heart of the contracted view?

93) The Resonance Of Love (OASG 104)

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Recently I have experienced frustration when trying to communicate this single thought, that it is only our perception which changes. Clearly there is some error in my thinking and I would appreciate how I may clarify this.

92) A Thought Cannot Perveive Another Thought (OASG 103)

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Is Presence just a big data bank, or does it have a purpose/plan for all this manifestation?

91) The Dissolution Of Thought In Its Own Substance (OASG 102)

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Will you please explain how memory works?

90) Is The Witness Separate From The Witnessed? (OASG 101)

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I must be misunderstanding something: I realize that I have set-up a new separate entity -- the witness -- "behind" my experience. I acknowledge this, but that's where I seem to be stuck.

89) The Self Never Disappears (OASG 100)

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I realize that my body is an object in consciousness, but if the body is always part of my experience, it seems reasonable to say its a part of me?

88) Presence Never Ceases To Know Or Be Itself (OASG 99)

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

You are that which is already realized and never not realized. Why does this simple message not hit home?

87) The Semantics Of The Self (OASG 97)

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

When we use words like "illusion, imaginings and unreal" to express the material world, mind and body as juxtaposed to the One of nondual realization, are these words not clumsy and lazy semantics?

86) The Reconciliation Of The Background And Foreground (OASG 94b)

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

However the peace, silence, simply recedes in the background and a kind of bi-functioning occurs in the being....like a surface being attending to functional matters and the background abiding in stillness...one lives a dual life for the time being.

85) Do We Control Our Thoughts? (OASG 96)

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

My question is about controlling thoughts. I recognize that thoughts simply appear in our minds, we don't create them. But I do feel that I have choices about following them or not, with what I do with them once there here.

84) Conceptualising Consciousness (OASG 95)

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

This "Consciousness" is only verbalizabled as "Consciousness" only as long as a being is situated who can observe it and name it. To Itself, so to speak, there isn't any naming, because no other being to give it a name. Would you agree with me on this point?

83) Direct Immediate Perception (OASG 94)

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Could you explain what is meant by 'direct or immediate perception?'

82) Unveiling The Knowing Of Our Being (OASG 93)

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

What advice do you give for those "who "backslide," as all do, and have you found your experience to also be subject to "backsliding"?

81) The Mother Of The World (OASG 92)

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

It is like all the other thoughts are there just to escort this "main 'I' thought". It is like if we can be aware of this "special thought", all the rest collapse!

80) The Dissolution Of Mind (OASG 90)

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

You say that it is Consciousness that connects thoughts so why did you write that "it is only a thought which connects an apparent string of thoughts together."?

79) The Direct Path (OASG 89)

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

How do you see the uprooting or exposing of these personal blind spots that seem to block the release into the natural openness of Being? Do you advocate a kind of teacher/student pointing out one-on-one that could lead to this type of release?

78) Experience Is The Proof Of Reality (OASG 87)

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I can see how the world independent of perception is never experienced, but it's effects are, so isn't that evidence of its existence?

77) The Ever-Presence Of Consciousness (OASG 86)

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

How can anyone say that thoughts have no connection to each other?

76) Where Can Illness Reside? (OASG 85)

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Since there is no entity independent of Consciousness where can illness reside?

75) Where Does Mind Reside In Deep Sleep? (OASG 84)

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Where do memories, beliefs, fears, and desires remain when I am in deep sleep?

74) What Is Meant By Transparent And Luminous? (OASG 83)

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I would like to ask you to expand upon the words, transparent and luminous, that you use a lot, both here and in your book, which I feel reflect a greater depth of understanding and Presence.

73) Love And Intelliegnce In Action (OASG 82)

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Why is there this evolution? Why doesn't consciousness just 'sit back' and enjoy itself?

72) Impersonal Intimacy

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

My question is on the ground of practical level that we can immediately FEEL we are everything. I remember that Krishnamurti says 'You are the world and the world is you'.

71) Is There Existence Without Consciousness? (OASG 81)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I don't want to dismiss the possibility of something simply because I don't experience it. I'm not conscious in deep sleep. So...does existence stop when I'm not conscious?

70) Is this the 'Final Understanding?' (OASG 79)

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Nisargadatta said: "For you, you appear in the world. For me, the world appears in me." This is one of those statements that, if one "gets" it, it is the end of story. There is nothing further to get.

69) Meditation Is Simply To Be (OASG 78)

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

What is the approach you suggest for releasing the quite complex network of sensations in the body that are crying out that "I am separate"?

68) The Nature Of Space (OASG 77)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Is "space" just as much of an illusion as "time"? They seem to be different, in that space seems to be a matter of actual perception, whereas time is not actually perceived, only thought.

67) Looking For The 'I' (OASG 76)

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

When I look for 'I', the main thing is that I don't find it....

66) The Timeless Interval (OASG 75b)

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Perhaps you'd agree, then, that the "timeless interval between" you pointed to, is thus all that actually is?

65) Who Is? (OASG 75)

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Consciousness is already everything it could ever be. It is one seamless homogenous substance that can never be depleted, added to, changed or moved.....it gains or looses nothing from the entire human adventure.

64) Why Does It Take So Long? (OASG 74)

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

How come just knowing this is not enough and it takes so long?

63) How Can We Define Ourselves? (OASG 73)

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Our self is not known by anything other than its own self.

62) The Recognition Of Being (OASG 72)

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

This recognition of our own Being is not the result of a process in the mind. It is its own cause, so to speak. It is not caused by anything outside of itself.

61) Which Self Is Being Enquired Into? Part 2(OASG 71)

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Is there any usefulness of familiarizing myself with the patterns and reactions of my mind?

60) Which Self Is Being Enquired Into? Part 1 (OASG 70)

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Which self is being enquired into here? It seems to me that there are layers of self, the fake self and real self and as the enquiry goes deeper into the one, it dissolves, allowing the other one, reality, to come into the light.

59) Understanding Is Not An Event In The Mind (0ASG 67)

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

The release of the sense of a centre is not so much of an event as a release of any hope or expectation or need for such an event taking place.

Interview with Areti Alexova, part 2 - Urban Guru Cafe - September 2009

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

58 Conception, Creation And Enjoyment Are Simultaneous (OASG 66)

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Pretending to be a small separate self and then forgetting it is playing a game seems an odd thing for pure Awareness to do. Why should it do this with all the suffering entailed?

Interview with Areti Alexova, part 1 - Urban Guru Cafe - September 2009

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

57) The Collapse Of The Search (OASG 65)

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Would it not be the case that the more one believes or feels there is something positive to be gained from the teachings, the more one has to take a position as an entity capable of receiving and benefiting from teachings?

56) We Never Find The Entity That Suffers (OASG 64)

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

So much of self-enquiry seems to turn on space and quiet reflection. But what about when the emotion's kicking in bigtime? Is it business as usual? "Who's suffering?" "Who's asking the question?"

55) God's Signature In Us (OASG 63)

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

My experience is that I have absolutely no say over such events. No matter what I read, or hear, or do or not do, such a happening or non happening happens spontaneously.

54) The Connection Between 'Me' And Suffering (OASG 62)

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I am intrigued by this topic about the connection between suffering and the belief in a "me", and whether in the absence of belief in "me", suffering perhaps recedes.

53) Advaita Is Not A Fixed Position (OASG 61)

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Isn't irritation an expression of Grace? How could it not be?

52) Love Is Never Lost (OASG 60)

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

If understanding leads to the absence of these emotional ups and downs,
including sorrow over the loss of a loved one, regret when one inadvertently breaks a promise, irritation when another does something disagreeable, it seems -- to this limited mind -- unnatural.

51) Consciousness Is The Content Of Consciousness (OASG 59)

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Does this mean that all the shapes that Conciousness takes continue 'for
ever', with the consequence that all past events are present ('happening') right now?

50) Deep Sleep and Death (OASG 59)

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

What is the difference between deep sleep and death?

49) Who Takes Their Stand As Awareness? (OASG 57)

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT

If we don't chose our thoughts, then we don't chose our actions, so who effects change or takes a stand as Awareness?

48) What Can We Be Certain Of? (OASG 56)

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT

In exploring our direct experience, I often wonder how much we can
trust it.

47) Is A Teacher Required? (OASG 55)

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT

When you say help from a teacher, do you mean going and being with a teacher?

46) Welcoming Uncomfortable Feelings 2 (OASG 54)

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I had an "awakening" about two years ago, fueled by kundalini...I have yet to see any non-dual teacher discuss kundalini.

45) Is There Something To Do? (OASG 53)

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I have come to the conclusion that it's a matter of grace, and there is nothing outside of that that can affect a thing in regards to awakening.

44) Welcoming Uncomfortable Feelings 1 (OASG 52)

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I am noticing now that there seems to be an egoic backlash happening since

that "seeing" happened. Is that possible?

43) Falling In Love With Truth (OASG 51)

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Somehow this intellectual understanding (or whatever I should call it) has to become real at the level of the body and the world or what's the use, right?

42) Taking One's Stand As Awareness (OASG 49)

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Is this what you mean when you suggest we stand as awareness....That a person repeatedly attends to the sense of ‘I am’ or being?

41) The words 'Consciousness' and 'Awareness' (OASG 47)

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I have a problem in the understanding and the difference between Nisargadattas' and Rupert's explanation of consciousness.

40) Consciousness is both the Witness and Substance of all Things (OASG 46)

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Last night I was looking for the "I". What was seen for the first time is that the "I" is not local, not connected to my body....There was no huge feeling of love, no huge feeling of peace, but there did seem to be more freedom not being confined to the body...

39) The Transparent, Luminous Substance of Presence - 2 (OASG 42)

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

If this process and awareness is complete, one would not have to open the door to go through it........

38) The transparent, Luminous Substance of Presence - 1 (OASG 41)

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Now speak, if you will, about the experience of a door........As the experience of the door and the experiencer are one whole,...why the solidity that causes the need to open the door to walk to it's other side?

37) Consciousness is Freedom Itself (OASG 38)

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Why that Rupert-Consciousness shining through the node of sensations which can be called Rupert-Body does not enjoy the Freedom to enter ramesam-body and know Ramesam-mind?

One Day Meeting in London - Saturday 21st November 2009

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

36) Is Concentration Necessary for Enlightenment? (OASG 34)

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I would like to know whether you consider achieving high levels of concentration necessary for enlightenment.

35) Do Questions Continue After Awakening? (OASG 33)

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Thank you, Rupert, for freeing me from the feeling that I failed class.......

34) Many Ways, One Consciousness (OASG 29)

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

How do you respond to the idea that there are many ways of 'falling' into the knowingness of Consciousness?

33) Presence, Presence, Presence, All the Way (OASG 28)

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Does Consciousness Forget Itself?

32) Continuity in Time

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Is my following understanding correct? Like a movie film run through a projector gives the illusion of solidity and movement on a movie screen, but actually is a series of "stills," so is the world actually a fast moving series of "stills" appearing solid and continuous but can be seen through as a transparency.

31) The Absolute and the Relative (OASG 27)

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

It seems to me that you 'explain' things mostly from the standpoint of the Absolute without giving due attention to the relative.......

30) Is there Cause and Effect in Non-Duality? (OASG 26)

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

How are the ideas of Karma, Kalpas and Evolution reconciled with Non-duality?

29) What Can We Be Certain Of? (OASG 25)

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I can tell you that I have no certainty about anything....

28) "As a man is, so he sees" (OASG 23)

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Is what a man is....a matter of continual natural refinement?

27) The World is made out of Perceiving (OASG 22)

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I'm really fascinated by the discovery, that (in my direct experience) everything is made out of "sensing", as you put it - that there aren't any objects, only experience.

26) Does a 'Separate Entity' Suffer or Awaken? (OASG 21)

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I am seeking some clarification on the view and understanding of this so called awakening process, sudden or gradual that is being described here.

25) Consciousness Knows Itself By Itself 2 (OASG 25)

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I still don't see in direct experience how Consciousness can know itself in deep dreamless sleep.

24) Who Awakens? (OASG 19)

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

If all of life is a mental construct, a waking dream, what would it be like to awaken? Who awakens? Awaken to what?

23) Consciousness Knows Itself By Itself 1 (OASG 18)

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Would you say that in deep sleep Consciousness knows itself?

22) The Perceived cannot Perceive (OASG 17)

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Being the perceived, how can other people be having their own private, personal perceptions? Isn't there just the one Perceiver: Consciousness?

21) Do Appearances Veil or Reveal Consciousness? (OASG 16)

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

On page 57 of your book you refer to the traditional Vedic teachings as sometimes emphasizing the veiling power of appearances that obscure the background of consciousness, and that in the Tantric approach the very same appearances are understood to reveal and express the background itself. Is there any light you can shed on this?

20) Living the Understanding (OASG 15)

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I wanted to ask about an experience of many who are newly awakened where there is a falling away of a need for social contact.

19 Embodying the Understanding 3 (OASG 14)

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Please clarify... the necessity to embody the understanding...that is to say to daily practice tantric Kasmir yoga."

18) Is Awareness the same as Consciousness? (OASG 13)

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Would you say that there is something that knows the coming and going of Consciousness, or would you say no, that there is nothing outside Consciousness?

17 Embodying the Understanding 2 (OASG 12)

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I had the strange impression reading your book that you were saying that in a sense all this mental understanding you developped was the first step before a complete body exploration...

16) Embodying the Understanding 1 (OASG 11)

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Are body pratices a continuation of the search and thus a risk of the reenforcement of the sense of me?

15) Is Consciousness Elusive? (OASG 10)

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

It makes such perfect sense and is so obvious. How can it be so elusive at the same time?

14) Does Consciousness Really Choose Anything? (OASG 9)

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

In your book you say that Consciousness chooses to forget itself through seeking, etc...but does Consciousness really choose anything?

13) The Co-creation of a Separate 'Me' and a Separate 'World.' (OASG 8)

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

The feeling of a 'me' cannot exist without any'thing' that is 'not me' for comparison - yes?

12) Are there two things: Consciousness and its object? (OASG 7)

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 00:00:00 GMT

You comment that Awareness or Consciousness is simply observing the various arisings...as though there are two things: one called Awareness or Consciousness and the other called arisings. Why would you posit such a dualistic notion in an effort to share the wisdom of non-dual experience?

Interview with Chris Hebard - Art and Consciousness, July 2009

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 00:00:00 GMT
