| 155 World And Inner Peace, Channeling, Procrastination - Q & A | 21 Sep 2025 | 01:02:24 | |
In this Q & A we noted that 11/21 is United Nations World Peace Day celebrated all over the world. When we are at peace within we see and experience peace all around us. Gandi wrote that "If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change." Peace within flows into the world. How did Jesus and Buddha feel? One listener asked about her procrastination, another about my experience after my guru said I should go out on my own. We talked about channeling Angels and other High Beings. Also about my core feeling that keeping awakening as one's center focus brings clarity. And in clarity all else that is good can come quite effortlessly as side effects.

| 154 Enjoying Yes | 07 Sep 2025 | 00:11:21 | |
The practice of Awakening is that is saying Yes to your Self and letting everything else go. When you experience the qualities of your Being, i.e., Love, Peace, Joy, Fulfillment, Happiness, etc. for any reason during your day, say Yes and let Your energy flow. When anything other than these qualities of your Being come up, let them go. Let them expend their energy, unwind, start to release, look around and notice all is well now, soak up this direct experience of safety and wellness, melt, and then affirm your truth in the moment....what you are truly feeling. "I am Happiness, or I am Peace, or I am Joy, etc." This "Yes" practice supports Clearly flowing with life rather than reacting against triggered emotions, thoughts and perceptions. Enjoy the flow of Yes! These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be.

This is a recording of a Live Q & A which has been edited for clarity, length, and helpfulness. Because much of these podcasts follow the jnana path of clarity, they are most powerful when listened to in sequence. However, in this discussion we started with the path of devotion and one of prayer. We discussed that Ramana felt that Jnana (clarity) and Devotion were two equally important paths with each eventually turning into the other. Bhagavan felt the easiest path was one of prayer. Let the Divine figure it out for you. Later we discussed where and how one experienced one's "I Am". Also, how many paths can one experience at the same time. Another explained the deep meaning to them of the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdeline in terms of equality within society and the masculine-feminine relationships. Etc.

| 139 Intensity Without the Attitude is Your Awakened Radiance | 26 Oct 2024 | 00:24:33 | |
We have all experienced intensity. Unfortunately, often times it is because of layers of stress, problems, and difficulties. Yet it is that same intensity that is the intensity of Love, Peace, and Joy in Awakening....in experiencing our true Selves. There is only one intensity. Consciousness is like life giving water. It can be frozen into sharp edges such as an ice knife that can hurt. When it melts back into the healing flow of water it gives life. Likewise, Intensity without the attitude is Awakened Radiance flowing with its qualities of peace, love, joy and happiness. The overwhelming intensity one feels emanating through an awakened Being is the same intensity that we feel. Its just that ours is often twisted with an attitude of stress and theirs is not. Our spiritual practices are ways to let our maladaptive attitudes go. We keep the intensity and radiance and let the attitude go as we awaken. This podcast details deep letting go which is not recommended until you are ready. Our spiritual practices help us let go a little at a time in manageable ways.

| 133 Experiencing What We Are | 20 Feb 2024 | 00:27:05 | |
To a seeker, Ramana said, "Before you ask out 'your life', find out who 'You' are." Good advice. In this podcast we place our attention on what we are. What is always here and remains when everything goes? We place our attention on Awareness or our "Buddha nature". It is like a rainbow and is experienced beyond creation as a full nothing and, in creation, as Light, Love, Peace, Happiness, Joy, etc. We place our attention on Awareness so that we can experience our Selves rather than just understand our Selves. We talk about why some experience them Selves as Peace while others as Love, or Joy or Happiness or All. Though not the focus, we talk briefly about how to release what distracts and blocks us and why. We also note that much more information on releasing and the whole process of awakening is available for free on this platform. All podcasts stand on their own yet each rests on those before. Best to start at number 1 and move forward unless you find a title compelling now. These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be.

| 130 To See Is To Be Free | 28 Jan 2024 | 00:04:05 | |
Meditation, exercise, nutrition, yoga, psychotherapy, energy work, philosophy, etc all can be important in our awakening process.

When I see that the deadly cobra in my room is actually only a rope all of my issues regarding that "deadly" event melt away quickly.

What if wrestling with life and trying to control every aspect is precisely what's keeping you from the peace and happiness you seek? Join me as we unlock the ancient wisdom of Tibetan Dzogchen master, Longchampa, and explore his profound suggestion to 'leave it as it is.' This episode is a heartfelt invitation to let go of the exhausting grip we so often maintain on our lives.

Together, we'll navigate the idea of letting go, exploring how this act of surrender can reconnect us with our inner peace and happiness. Even on days when allowing seems too difficult, there’s no shame in embracing where you are. Let's relax, rest our weary hearts, and find solace in the present moment. Take a break from the relentless need to control and discover the peace that comes with simply being. I look forward to sharing more insights with you next time. Take care.

| 121 Relaxing Into Happiness | 28 Nov 2023 | 00:14:36 | |
You are Happiness (Being) right now and always. Nothing to do but enjoy. Yet we often feel blocked from our Selves by our troubles. We develop preferences to protect us from being triggered and feeling our repressed pain blockages. Our life becomes small. What to do? Let's do the opposite repression. When we become triggered or feel our tensions or pain in anyway, just relax and let it flow. The pain will come up, release its energy and dissipate....gone. As more and more troubles release you become clearer and can feel and experience your innate Joy once again. Who would you be without your troubles? This "Relaxing into Happiness" Practice may be all you need. It is simple yet profound. If you would like to explore this practice more deeply you can listen to any or all of my previous podcasts, "Awakening Together, Relaxing into Happiness". They are thorough and very good. I recommend starting with number one. Also Michael Singer's books, "Untethered Soul", "The Surrender Experiment", and "Living Untethered" are all fun, easy, deep and so worth your while. His free recorded talks on the Temple of the Universe site are excellent as well. These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be.
