This Extraordinary Moment: Meditative Inquiry w/ John Astin

In this episode, I explore the perspective of there being one thing here (call it the perspective of the Whole, of this that is inclusive of everything) and the sense of this perspective being absent of any struggle or conflict.

This episode explores the ever-present flow of being, the sheer existence of everything, and the never-ending nourishment inherent to it.

This episode highlights the way in which all that's appearing, even the so-called "inanimate" material world, is only known as experience and as experience, everything is alive.

This episode explores the way in which we are literally awakening to presence in each instant as every moment that appears IS the movement of presence itself.

This Episode explores the presence that's always here, this light of existence that is always on.

This episode explores the way in which each moment spontaneously lets go of itself owing to reality's inherently dynamic, ever-transforming nature.

This episode explores the deep-seated assumption we have that at the center of experience, there is a findable experiencer, an individual who is separate from whatever is being experienced.

This episode points to the way in which all that appears reveals the absolute reality that is everything.

This episode points the listener back to the ever-present presence of reality itself that can never be lost.

This episode explores the "suchness" or sheer existence of each moment.

In this episode, I share a piece of recent writing that explores the ceaseless flow of experiencing and the implications of seeing that for our lives.

This episode invites the listener to notice the way in which Life itself allows everything to be, exactly as it is, because it IS everything that is.

In this episode, I focus on the absolute simplicity of Being itself, the fact that it is already here, being everything.

In this episode, I read and comment on a chapter (Nothing Required) from my newest book, "Everything is the Doorway."

In this episode, the listener is invited to feel the sense of aliveness to discover its fundamentally unresolvable, mysterious nature.

This episode explores the paradox of reality always slipping away (and hence impossible to pin down) yet always being here.

This episode explores the way in which what we call "the moment" never actually fixes, never actually becomes something concretized and the freedom that's realizing by seeing this.

In this episode, I explore the question of whether any separation can be found between experience and what we think of as that which is experiencing (e.g., the self, awareness, etc.).

This episode invites the listener to notice the myriad ways our actual experience deviates from the different ways we hold it to be conceptually.

This inquiry examines the way in which the things we're searching for as humans (openness, equanimity, ease, wakefulness, presence) are actually inherent to life itself.
