I'm happy that this might be the case here, literally and figuratively. As Cameron remarked at the beginning of this podcast, Advaita seems not to excite the kind of attention that other schools or practices receive. There is good reason for this. Advaita is so uncompromising that the ego can't find a foothold anywhere. You either make the leap or you don't. There's no steps or progression or even any fireworks displays. It's like being a terrified non-swimmer and jumping into the water and finding--if you don't thrash around in a crazed panic--that you float without any effort at all.

I have long been aware of Nisargadatta and his teaching.. I have not been able to experience being with a "realised person" and so far have not been able to be in Bob's company, so this MP3 has been great to hear of his journey... Were there other discussions recorded? Cheers Graeme Cameron,

We had fun. But if you’re just discovering the show, you need to start at the beginning. Here’s a link to the first episode. If you start there and work your way forwards, you’ll see the same questions and the same themes emerging over and over. So then, by the time you get to the end, you’ll understand why I’m laughing most of the time at the questions. It wasn’t because I’m insensitive (necessarily) but because the questions had been answered over and over and I thought it was extremely funny that we kept getting asked the same stuff.

Noise is all around but none can enter this Reality, the quantum-gap, Silence. The quantum-gap filters noise into thoughts. The quantum-gap filters noise into thoughts the mind has for all its ignorance and knowledge order and chaos. The order is NOW and chaos is time. The quantum-gap filters the thoughts we call particles into the elements the universe needs for all its metals and non-metals chaos and order order and chaos. The order is Maya, Now the Chaos is Karma, time. I AM SILENCE I AM Untouchable, Complete and Content. I need no gods ‘cause I need no servants And if I needed servants I would still need no gods. I need no scriptures ‘cause I need no toilet paper And if I did need toilet paper I would still need no scriptures. I AM Silence that some call Samadhi but the gods call nothing even though I AM the EVERYTHING without which there is no noise I filter into thoughts, particles, toilet paper and gods. Reality is SILENCE these words are its noise. I don’t think
I don’t write
I’m the Laughter
that hands think
and egos write:
================
Reality is Silence
the Universe is its noise

Silence is the quantum-gap.
Noise is all around
but none can enter this Reality,
the quantum-gap, Silence.

The quantum-gap filters noise into thoughts.

The quantum-gap filters noise into thoughts
the mind has for all its
ignorance and knowledge
order and chaos.

The order is NOW
and chaos is time.

The quantum-gap filters the thoughts we call particles
into the elements the universe needs for all its
metals and non-metals
chaos and order
order and chaos.

The order is Maya, Now
the Chaos is Karma, time.

I AM SILENCE
I AM Untouchable, Complete and Content.

I need no gods
‘cause I need no servants
And if I needed servants
I would still need no gods.

I need no scriptures
‘cause I need no toilet paper
And if I did need toilet paper
I would still need no scriptures.

I AM Silence
that some call Samadhi
but the gods call nothing
even though I AM the EVERYTHING
without which there is no noise
I filter into thoughts, particles, toilet paper
and gods.

Reality is SILENCE
these words are its noise.

(beyondananda's not really non-duality). please keep the show going. thank you cameron for drawing out words of wisdom from the sailor. there is humor and laughter in parsons, watts, liquorman and others but you have a comic quick witted talent that is needed in “the teachings” that they don’t have.
