Rupert Spira – 2nd Buddha at the Gas Pump Interview – YouTube

Published on Nov 4, 2014

Also see http://batgap.com/rupert-spira-2nd-in…

From an early age Rupert Spira was deeply interested in the nature of reality. For twenty years he studied the teachings of P.D.Ouspensky, J.Krishnamurti, Rumi, Shankaracharya, Ramana Maharshi, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj and Robert Adams, until he met his teacher, Francis Lucille, in 1996. Francis introduced Rupert to the teachings of Jean Klein and Atmanada Krishnamenon and, more importantly, directly indicated to him the true nature of experience.

His two books, The Transparency of Things, (sub-titled Contemplating the Nature of Experience), and Presence, in two volumes (The Art of Peace and Happiness and The Intimacy of All Experience), are a profound exploration of the non-dual nature of experience.

Rupert lives in UK and holds regular meetings and retreats in Europe and USA.

Pico Iyer: The art of stillness – Ted Talks

Published on Nov 26, 2014

The place that travel writer Pico Iyer would most like to go? Nowhere. In a counterintuitive and lyrical meditation, Iyer takes a look at the incredible insight that comes with taking time for stillness. In our world of constant movement and distraction, he teases out strategies we all can use to take back a few minutes out of every day, or a few days out of every season. It’s the talk for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the demands for our world.

Tom Campbell – Buddha at the Gas Pump Interview – YouTube

Published on Nov 16, 2014Also see http://batgap.com/tom-campbell/In February of 2003, Tom published the My Big TOE trilogy MBT which represents the results and conclusions of his scientific exploration of the nature of existence. This overarching model of reality, mind, and consciousness explains the paranormal as well as the normal, places spirituality within a scientific context, solves a host of scientific paradoxes and provides direction for those wishing to personally experience an expanded awareness of All That Is. The MBT reality model explains metaphysics, spirituality, love, and human purpose at the most fundamental level, provides a complete theory of consciousness, and solves the outstanding fundamental physics problems of our time, deriving both relativity theory and quantum mechanics from first principles – something traditional physics cannot yet do. As a logic-based work of science, My Big TOE has no basis in belief, dogma, or any unusual assumptions. My Big TOE – The Complete Trilogyprinted version My Big TOE – Free version on Google Books Tom’s website: my-big-toe.com Tom’s YouTube channelInterview recorded 11/14/2014.

Jill Bolte Taylor’s stroke of insight – YouTube

http://www.ted.com Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened — as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding — she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? by Ken Wilber – The Big Question Series – Question 4

In this series Ken Wilber explores some of humanity’s most profound and perennial questions: Is there a God? What is the meaning of life? What is consciousness? These are questions that we humans have been asking since the dawn of humanity; questions that have inspired history’s greatest philosophers, sages, and scientists; questions that have in many ways influenced the overall shape and scope of civilization over the millennia. We continue to ask ourselves these questions today—often beginning in childhood, and then again and again throughout the rest our lives. Although these questions are in many ways unanswerable, our attempts to answer continue to come closer and closer to the inexpressible truth as our understanding of the universe and our place within it continues to unfold and evolve.

Welcome to Big Questions with Ken Wilber, bringing more clarity, more sophistication, and more elegance to our understanding of life, the universe, and everything.

All text transcribed from live interviews with Ken Wilber.

Don’t Give Any Compassion to the Egoic Mind – Mooji

It is almost as though your mind will not give up 
unless you give the mind up, in a sense.
When I say ‘give it up’, I mean to give up 
who are you are in your mind —
you have to give up.
Otherwise, you will speak different things 
but you will not change inside,you will not have melted 
into that sweetness that comes 
when you are really aware of the Truth.
A person cannot change a person;
only Grace and God can change you, 
but you have to be humble.
