In this in depth interview, Tom Das discusses his journey of spiritual seeking, how he one day realised that all suffering had ceased, and how he works with others to help people with their own journeys.

===

This interview covers the three main subjects that we aim to cover with every interview here:

- Tom's spiritual journey

- What Tom communicates in meetings (and why he takes that approach)

- Suggestions / approaches Tom has that may be helpful for day to day life

Tom's spiritual journey started in childhood, and ended through his devotion to Sri Ramana Maharshi. Unlike many people, Tom can't pinpoint the moment all suffering fell away, but one day he suddenly realised that he hadn't suffered for many months, if not longer.

And in his meetings Tom focuses on non duality but takes a fluid approach, and is happy to discuss broader topics, with all doors as he says leading to the same place.

He also offers in depth videos on his YouTube channel, talking through the two approaches that Sri Ramana Maharshi details:

- The path of self-enquiry

- The path of self-surrender

Tom also offers private sesions and describes how he approaches those, as well as the types of issues some people experience during the spiritual journey.

We hope you find this interview interesting. There is also a video of this interview on YouTube, and in time a transcript will be made available at forwardview.org and also published on Amazon as a free ebook.

In this in depth interview Jim Eaton (previously James) talks through his spiritual journey, and how people can rediscover truth and integrate it into their lives to help them live authentically. He also discusses his philosophical idea for society as a whole, called a New Paradigm for Living.

In this interview Lisa Cairns talks through her spiritual journey in depth, starting very early in life, leading into Buddhism in her teens, and eventually taking her to India and Australia. Further discussions with Lisa will be published at a later date.

Richard Sylvester leads meetings and publishes books discussing non-duality. In our very first published interview, Richard kindly took the time with us to talk through his journey of spiritual seeking over thirty years. He also discusses how he approaches talking about non-duality.

Lisa Cairns led the very first meeting we hosted. This audio is an edit of the full two hour meeting. The meeting began with a brief overview of Lisa's story, while the rest of the meeting was a balance between Lisa's definition of non-duality, and also talking through how she works with people to help them find more balance in life.
