Was I Born?

Randall — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 09:05:09 +0000

Audio blog – we are seeking in spirituality with the root idea we have about ourselves still in-tact and unquestioned. We believe we are something which began, in other words an independent and finite existence. Instead of looking for some benefit for that entity we must question the entity itself and see if it’s true.

Aren’t You That Intelligence?

Randall — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 04:56:49 +0000

Audio blog entry – Randall talks about what nonduality truly means – no separation or independence of existence. This honors the world as appearance yet points out that existence does not belong to the world, the world belongs to existence. The world is a play of existence, one essence, one intelligence. The podcast features some Chopin and also a bit from Rumi.

No Finish Line

Another audio blog – an investigation into the most basic ideas we have about what we are. We begin from the individual who is seeking a way out, then take a look at the obvious fallacy of identification as reality. You are present but left without any upon which to place that identification. Your presence is always shining and aware of all that appears, including the body and mind. Then we take a look at the assumed fact of an outside world – is this something real and independent? Finally we look at the very assumption of “experience” itself – is there such a thing? Isn’t it this most basic assumption which is the root of duality as real?

If there is no such thing as experience, then no experiencer is required to be there.

This blog post is another attempt to incorporate music – there has been some good feedback. Just listen without trying to figure it out – see if there are any concepts arising to trip over.

You Have No Opposite

Randall — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 23:52:04 +0000

Audio blog – it’s been a while since there has been a new audio blog entry. This post discusses the immediacy of the Subject-I and then goes on to point out the discovery that what you are has no opposite – that opposites are only descriptions in language but the reality of this immediacy is not divided, not split up – you are the immediacy and there is no opposite to that.

This post has music, sort of in the style of the UGC. Various classical pieces. Lay aside mental analytics and just see if there is a resonance.

Nature of “I”

Randall — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 22:15:16 +0000
