In this episode, excerpts from Helen Hamilton's book, Dissolving the Ego, were contemplated. "The only thing we can know for certain is that we are. You know only this with absolute certainty. You know that you are. You know the sense 'I am' and this has been your constant companion with you throughout your life. This feeling that 'I am' is your basic currency, your working capital and you can use it to reach total liberation by focusing on it to the exclusion of everything else."

In this episode we contemplated Yukti verses 71 & 72 from the Radiance Sutras with Lorin Roche. 

In this episode, excerpts from Helen Hamilton's book, Dissolving the Ego, were contemplated. "Existence is all of life and when it flows through a body it feels like 'I exist' and we take this for fact. Stay in this sense of existence and cease using your mind to define what you are. Peace will come upon you and stay if you can resist the complexity of thoughts. Mind is complex; existence is simplicity itself."

In this episode, the meditation gently guides through looking at this moment.

In this episode excerpts from Helen Hamilton's book, Dissolving the Ego, were contemplated. "The 'stateless state' that is Now and Always is ever present and it is this Now-ness that gives everything you experience its feeling of being "Real". If this Nowness is ever present then it must in fact be what we are."

In this episode a gently guided meditation is shared to help recognize our Self-aware being.

In this episode a poem from John Astin was contemplated.

"One of my favorite words to point to the singularity is This. Just This...

This momentary flash that dissolves no sooner than it appears,

This that is ever-present yet in constant flux,

This that can never

disappear and yet is constantly disappearing,

This that cannot

be characterized and yet appears as all characterizations.

There are not words for This, no finite

descriptions or pointers

that could ever hope to capture It's infinite

unresolvable,

indescribable nature. This, just This, This

constancy

that appears as all discontinuity and change."

In this episode Yukti verse #64 from the Radiance Sutras with Lorin Roche was contemplated. Also quote 801 with Nisargadatta Maharaj out of The Seven Steps To Awakening from Michael Langford was contemplated. “Whatever name you give it will, or steady purpose, or a one-pointedness of the mind, you come back to earnestness, sincerity, honesty. When You are in dead earnest, you bend every incident, every second of your life to your purpose. You do not waste time and energy on other things. You are totally dedicated, call it will, or Love, or plain honesty.”
