Loved this conversation

No words can say 🙏🙏🙏

I want to hear about tantric sex, and the powerful connection that happens in sensual intimacy.

Fascinating listen. Thankyou 🙏

Thank you

Yet another fantastic podcast this one with Ruben. Each one has its own way of describing the undiscribable. I always end up feeling energized, uplifted, and guided with such True wisdom that leaves my heart happy to be in the presence of Truth❤

Thank you for that articulate video 🙏🏼

If everything has already happened at the future is set in stone like with the physics thing you said, including spontaneity, then what is even the point of any spiritual practice let alone at all if our efforts don't determine wether they'll be effective at all considering the concept that the future already is?

I'm still having one major issue in regards to the theoretical framework of this. So 1) Brahman is All there is and 2) Tat Tvam Asi (I am (in essence) that) but how is it that this right now what my relative Avatar/Ego/Jiva is experiencing is what it is experiencing and not something entirely different - am I in my essence doing ALL simultaneously or just This - where does brahmans preference for a specific vantage point arise. This literally breaks my head lol

Thank you Hareesh for such in depth explanations of this text. I love that you refer to the Sanskrit grammar as part of your commentary.

Appreciate videos like these. Even as a Muslim, I'm finding myself listening to your lectures pretty intently and intending to apply it on my own life.

sir no religions have flaws these are the people who started or something they have done wrong with it in past neither christianity nor islam nor hinduism etc teaches us bad we people who do this things every religion have their own but yet still something similar they may have not one nor 100 but many similarities every religion has with each other that's some section of people loves and some oppose conversion sir.

thank you gentleman this was pure pleasure listening and understanding all the nuances!!! :)

Wonderful.

Wow! What an amazing conversation. Can't wait for part 2! OM 🙏

Profoundly humble! ❤❤

Wonderful talk!!! ❤

There seems to be a distinction, on the surface at least, from those who are realized and those who are realized and can also experience the saccidananda state at will. For some reason some of us are made to not only experience the saccidananda state but to know how to experience it through systematic means such as through yogic techniques etc. That isn't to say one is better than the other, but it does make me realize there is a difference in approach to those who have moments of experience and those who can experience at any and all moments.

Thoroughly blessed by this dialogue. Ruben is a fascinating and beautiful individual. His suggestion to make a regular practice of gentle self-inquiry immediately brought to my mind the contemplations Hareesh inserted in his book, "Near Enemies of the Truth". A wonderful place to start with that practice.

Do you do one to one’s?

I’ve started listening to recognition sutras again. My eyes were closed at the time, when you said the mantra of Lakshmi, a white bird adorned in gold began to fly towards me. Before that my mind was blank, no visuals. I didn’t make any associations at the time, more just “hey that’s cool” 😂 afterwards I wondered and googled what animal Lakshmi is known for. Gratitude for your work looking forward to your latest book

Such a beautiful conversation.❤

Re; putting too much credibility in 'feelings' (thought/ego!); "The heart is deceitful above all things!"

Ego = thought = duality! The ego and why it is an absolute necessity!! We pretty much know that our Reality is 'non-dual', meaning "A Singularity"!! Being a Singularity, time, as we perceive it, cannot possibly exist, thus, neither can dimension/space! One way to see it is as follows; the 'tiniest bit of time' possible is called a Planck Moment. (Look it up!) It doesn't last long enough to have sufficient temporal qualities for any motion to be possible. No, not the tiniest sub-sub-sub atomic particle or wave function. So, what is our concept of time, one after the other moment, like a string of popcorn! But what do we really have; 0+0+0+0+0+... (every moment of Universal existence, ever) = '0'! The entire 'time-span' of the Universe is all moments perceived occurring simultaneously! NOW! "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Now look up Planck Volume and learn how the Universe can have no dimensional existence, either. One can go on re; Consciousness/Mind, but this is enough to put the silly notion of mortality, time away as the only perspective. It isn't, it's just another perspective from Hell. Hint; Duality is absolutely to perceive the Singularity, non-duality! We are how God knows Ourself! Imagine, if all that is perceived by everyone being One Consciousness, ever, is one giant flash of Divine Self Knowledge, in a single 'moment', I think that calling it all a 'Big Bang' is a bit ... understated? ;)

Non-duality = Singularity

A fierce relentless curiosity that just won’t let up until it is satisfied. 🙏🕉️✨💖

Fascinating conversation. I know I’ll come back to this one !

47:30 hit it on the head for me, this is my current and ongoing dilemma😅

Thanks for the podcasts Hareesh 🙏🏻interesting, thanks, i had actually exactly the opposit happening, had the feeling I died and my fear of death disapeared. And went throught something like comedy and feeling in love with everyone and anything even the dificult and not so pleasent, many years of pains disapeared... freed from pain 🙏🏻life is life. . I just am .. enjoy and try to do my best for all ...It still feels like a miracle that I can't feel pain the same way.. magic.. and very thankful for that 🙏🏻

What a wonderful interview with Dr. Ruben Laukkonen. I look at his website and found his email contact address. I’m going to email him the method and the actual mechanism behind meditation. His insights gained with psychedelics only came about because real joy and happiness was experienced. Any time joy and happiness is experienced it produces a steadfast insightful state of mind. But his ultimate disillusionment came with repeated usage because it is itself a sensory experience. All sensory experiences acquires habituation with repeated usage, in which the same joy and happiness is now seriously diminished. How many times can you enjoy the fragrance of a flower before habituation immediately sets in? So now he becomes disillusioned with his insightful experience. But there is a solution. That is to experience happiness not through the senses but by transcending inwardly into the subconscious. Habituation does not occur there while retaining complete control over your mental faculties. All of his searching to fulfill an innermost void or of something being amiss can be found there at this very real destination. And it doesn’t take months or years of practice but is effortless and immediate. It is not self inquiry/reflection, nor contemplation, nor mantra meditation, nor trying to disassociate yourself from the problem. No one can think themselves out of a thinking box. The mind’s yearning and desires is not an illusion but an innate part of being human. It is also what leads us to the objective reality of the Absolute. Without transcendence, a person can search in a thousand different directions but will never find happiness.

Hareesh, thank you so much for these podcasts, which not only help keep the connection but always refines the process of awakening somewhat more & especially today, Ruben's moment of awakening, where he doesn't exactly experience the death of the constructed self, "OMG there was nothing ever there...there wasn't ever any problem" And then stepping into a stream of consciousness where there was no suffering aahh.....and when it does reappear, it's not really an issue anymore.

Resonating deeply... ('don't build nest(s)' 🤪 😂😉😎) 🕉

1st😁

Thank you, very well done. It's always good to listen to an expert, who can read the original sutras in Sanskrit with all their different possible interpretation and by this authority create a guided mediation.

The idea that the body is the temple of God is also in the Bible. That particular way of wording it is probably more a direct influence from the Bible.

I learn something new every time I listen to Christopher. The use of the word “condensation” to describe how the One becomes immanent is so poetically beautiful.

ah i have watched this one, love Ken

The unknowing. Trust and surrender into unfolding. This is such an important reminder and it is so easy for me to forget.

Thank you Christopher. Hari-Om🙏

I am reading Tantra Illuminated and want to thank you for making these teachings so accessable ... For a long time I thought I was losing my mind because of some intense spontaneous experiences during meditation.This jewel of a book has not only brought me validation, but also given me practices and teachings that are lighting up the path( that I never knew I was on)...Thank you for your passion and clarity.

Thank you another great talk. Really appreciate the discussion on the practical aspects of Tantra in day to day life. Thank you. Om 🙏

Very powerful, beautifully read, much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

Would be amazing if you can have a conversation with Robert Svoboda

Your words joined all the dots for me today. Something happened. Deep gratitude to you both.

Thank you very much! Really interesting and inspiring. Somehow i've watched in the middle of the podcast (cause i needed a rest from intensity) the Satyajit Ray's "Devi ". Very surprising coincidence, cause it fits perfectly into the topic of posession by Goddess!

These meditations are so helpful! Thank you so much!

What Bullshit...Sufis were the worst of all.Just because this comes from white mans mouth other westerners believe this..

Great podcast! Love the idea of a functional narrative of the reality of the spirit world. Read about this in an anthropology book years ago and was fascinated. One of my early Indian yoga teachers who grew up in Trinidad used to speak about how this was the accepted reality within the culture.

I think that maybe Jesus wasn't wrong about the Escheton. There is strong evidence to suggest he travelled far and wide in the undocumented years of his life and was influenced greatly by Hinduism and Eastern beliefs, which he incorporated into his teachings. If this is true, then maybe when he said some will be alive at the end of time, he could have been suggesting Samsara. Then effectively some people would be alive at the end times, even if that is in another million years, but in another body. Maybe he meant the divine spark would still be on Earth.

So much gratitude to you both for presenting this discussion.
