The Awareness Podcast

In this edition of the Awareness podcast, Ann McIlraith describes her journey to the non-dual understanding through exploration of the body. She explains how T’ai Chi brings a feeling of openness and transparency of the body. The body can teach us so much, and T’ai Chi takes you beyond the body.

Jenny and Ann discuss how the practice of T’ai Chi relates to the investigation of the body that Francis Lucille teaches, and the discovery of our borderlessness through which the feeling of separation that resides in the body dissolves.  Ann describes how in group work, the sense of being contained in a physical body disappears and you are experiencing the energy field in which all the physical bodies are moving. It’s a way of transcending the body while inhabiting it.

“When you’re feeling that your heart will burst with joy, when you’re feeling love, or beauty, when something touches you completely – that’s it. It’s simple.”

In this Living in Not-knowing podcast, Donald Hoffman explains how science is now catching up with what many of the spiritual traditions have been saying for millennia - that there is only one consciousness, and that time and space are not fundamental. What does science tell us about the nature of our human experience? Can we escape from the virtual reality headset that prevents us seeing things as they really are? Can Artificial Intelligence become conscious? What do we mean by 'understanding'? Is there anything we can know for certain? How can science and spirituality work together to discover new insights into the nature of ourselves and the universe? Don also talks about his practice of meditation, and describes the benefits it brings to his scientific work, to his everyday life, and to his understanding of his true nature.

In this episode, Francis describes what it means ‘to live in not-knowing’ and explains the distinction between non-duality and non-dualism. We discuss the different ways in which we can approach the hidden knowledge of awareness. After the first stage in which we discover the absolute reality of pure consciousness, Francis explains why it is essential to recognise that this one reality shines as this world. That’s the only way to be stable in this understanding. Otherwise, we feel nostalgia for the state of pure awareness, and then there is suffering.

We went on to discuss practice. Francis explained that after having a first glimpse of the truth, it’s a life-time assignment. The goal is happiness. Practice converges with life. You don’t stop the practice when you are enlightened. After enlightenment, you practice all the time. But it’s important to make sure your practice comes from love and enthusiasm. Otherwise you stay on the path of self-improvement for lifetime after lifetime. How could more effort, more suffering take you closer to the effortless path?
