Rick Archer and I sat down for a second Buddha at the Gas Pump interview shortly after I arrived in California for the SAND18 Conference.

In the first part, I shared updates since the first interview in 2015. But that required an extended preamble to review the prior stages in consciousness so the updates had some context. Then we explored ParaBrahman and how that is activating influences that are supporting and accelerating global awakening. (Update: Changes since the interview are mentioned in comments below. The aspects are waking up in their universal nature now.)

If you haven’t already, you can watch the prior BATGAP interview first as it gives more background to this story.

In the second part, we talked about the book Our Natural Potential and quite a few related topics including the gunas in awakening, if there is still a person after awakening, the 5 ways awakening is experienced, kaivalya, cognitions, mahamarmas, kundalini, the resolute intellect, the bhavas, karma, and so forth.

Thanks to the Nathan’s for hosting us. Thanks also to Ralph Preston for the video work and Larry Kelly for cleaning up the audio.
