If you are interested in self-realization or spiritual growth then you may like these videos. I must say I have really enjoyed listening to Shunyamurti's words since I came across him as if by chance recently whilst on Youtube.

Update: Taking A Break From This Blog For A While & Akram Vignan / Gnan Vidhi
Hello Readers of this blog, It has been a while since I last posted. Many things have transpired in spiritual terms, and simultaneously, I have felt less able to transcribe the changing state of play into words. But I have been meaning to add an update at least, if only to say that I am taking a bit of break for a while. How long for, I don't … [Read more...]
Warts And All After Awakening
“Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water…after enlightenment chop wood, carry water.” - Zen Saying The trouble with our perception of awakening is that after the initial bliss and euphoria our expectation can be that life will now be blissful and contented constantly, and life will be easy.

Neo: What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets? Morpheus: No, Neo. I’m trying to tell you that when you’re ready, you won’t have to.
The Matrix has to be in my top 10 fave movies. For sure. The Matrix is more than just a film. It's a work of art. It's creativity. Forget all that artwork of bricks in a pile at the Tate Modern, real creativity speaks volumes, and speaks, to coin a phrase, to our souls. Anything that points to the Truth is creativity. Creativity is wonderful. … [Read more...]
Why We Can’t Go Beyond The Me-Story (…And Lots Of Floyd Henderson Quotes)
What does it mean to go beyond the me-story? Well, that is not something I or you can answer. The I or the you is not in a position to answer this question. For this is an anathema. It is like asking a blind person to imagine what it's like to see. The point is the I or the you does not achieve the loss of ego/identity/me, and all efforts … [Read more...]
Spiritual Awakening / Self-Realization Videos To Assist In The Awakening Of The Heart – Papaji, Gangaji and Mooji
I hope that I will get (make) the time soon to share in a post what has been 'occurring' - re-awakening experiences that have been a while in the making. Hunger for self-realization became re-ignited whilst in recent months it had become dulled and overtaken by mind and emotional activity. Wow, what a relief to let it all fall away again.

Gangaji – The heart can bear it all
Never listened to Gangaji to any depth before but this is great. Words are so limited and 'great' is such a poor word to explain the experience I had whilst listening to the video below.

Documentary Film “Kymatica” by Ben Stewart – True Self Or Ego?
As synchronicity would have it, the below video dropped in my inbox. The synchronous bit is the first few lines (and the message as a whole) about not looking outside for answers nor blame since you are it, you are the One. In light of discussions about Obama it is good to be reminded to look not to him, nor to any other human or entity, for blame … [Read more...]
