Rupert has appeared on conscious.tv several times before and we very much value his wisdom and clarity. He has two new books coming out on Non-Duality Press this Autumn entitled, 'Presence: The Seamless Intimacy Of Experience' and 'Presence: The Art Of Peace And Happiness' These two deep, intimate interviews are great trailers for these two books.

Rupert is a renowned ceramic artist whose book "Bowl" was published in 2004. At the time of this interview Rupert worked from his studio in Shropshire, England. His work is exhibited regularly in many prestigious galleries. He is also an advaita teacher and his book on this subject "The Transparency of Things" is available on Non-Duality Press. In this interview Chris Hebard reads quotes from "Bowl" and encourages Rupert to explain in a great deal of depth his feelings about the connections between art and consciousness.

Richard is an 'enlightened mystic' and teacher of spirituality. In 1970, searching for enlightenment he attended a workshop with Douglas Harding and under his guidance was astonished to discover that he actually saw his True Self - boundless, timeless and one with the world. He was so impressed with the effectiveness of Harding's experiment that he became involved in the work of giving workshops and teaching these methods to a wider audience. In this interview Richard talks about his life and demonstrates 'The Headless way'.

Pim worked as a cardiologist in the Netherlands and in 1986 became interested in near-death experiences in patients who survived a cardiac arrest. In 2007 he published his book 'Endless Consciousness: a scientific approach to the near-death experience.' He looks in detail into what actually happens, and people's experiences, during an NDE, and how it can dramatically change their lives. It raises such fundamental questions as: 'Where is Consciousness located?', 'What Happens when we die' and 'Who am I?'.

Dervish turning from the Mevlevi order of Dervishes is a potent method for experiencing inner stillness and the opening of the heart. It has been taught and practised regularly at Colet House in West London since 1973. The turning is part of a ceremony known as a 'Mukabele' (meaning 'coming face to face') and was originally developed by followers of the 13th century Persian mystic Jelaluddin Rumi. The ceremony has a profound inner symbolism, representing man's inner journey back to the realisation of his essential oneness with God and the unity of all creation. Three turners talk about how this practice has changed their lives.

Philip is the Sheik for the 'Turning' group at Colet House. He studied with Dr Francis Roles for many years. He talks about becoming seriously ill. 'I had always thought that it was possible to change my attitude to any situation. With the illness, I realised that there was a stage where you couldn't. You could have a good attitude either side of the experience, but not while you were in it, ….when the illness was deep in the brain, there was no way out until it passed, and you just had to allow the experience to be what it was. I was having to assimilate the idea of illness and suffering as a gift - what looked like suffering …could often have a transforming effect on the deeper spiritual levels.'

Author of many books including 'The Brain Book,' 'The Global Brain,' 'From Science to God' and 'Waking Up in Time', Peter talks about his life and work. He explains what he calls Spirituality 101. He also talks about Singularity, 'A White Hole in Time,' and the bringing together of Consciousness and Science.

Pamela speaks about Advaita, Non-Duality and says that ‘the universe is one undivided whole.' For the last ten years she has travelled widely in the United States, Canada and Europe, holding satsang and giving private sessions. In this interview she talks about her life and living in the Non-Dual state.

The Feminine Face of God - Part 2. Mukti, whose name is translated as "liberation" is a teacher in the linage of Adyashanti, her husband. In this interview she talks about her spiritual path of Faith and Trusting, her longing to have a spiritual marriage with Adya and her experience of "True Stillness" which lead into her profound Awakening where Reality completely shifted. Mukti also points out that Women need to listen to their direct experience in their bodies and explains with such beautiful clarity how Enlightenment is felt and manifested through the 3 centres - Mind, Heart, Belly - in the body.

Mooji is a direct disciple of Sri Harilal Poonja (Papaji). A chance meeting with a Christian mystic in 1987 was life-changing. It brought him, through prayer, to the direct experience of the Divine within. Mooji soon experienced a radical shift in consciousness so profound that he seemed, to many who knew him, to be an entirely different person. A deep inner transformation began with miraculous experiences and mystical insights. A strong wind of change blew through his life and brought a deep urge to surrender completely to divine will. He stopped teaching to begin a life of quiet simplicity and surrender to the will of God as it manifested spontaneously within him. A great peace entered his being and has remained ever since.
