Talk with Randall in Second Life.  Randall talks about what is real about your self and what is appearance, the nature of appearance and points out the immediacy and availability of whole reality.

This talk is more in line with traditional Vedanta – speaking about the Atma or Self, Sat or what IS, and mithyA, or what comes and what goes, what appears.  Vedanta points out that reality is already whole, that what you are is already that whole.  There is no individual who reaches this wholeness but it is the realization that you are already that.

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.

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.

Talk with Randall in Second Life.  Randall points out the immediacy and intimacy of your present Self or Presence Awareness, then talks about the Vedanta concept of mithyA – what isn’t real but isn’t false, the tendency to take appearance as absolute, separate reality.
