- ‘The spacious groundless sense of being needs to become part of our nature, to be familiar territory and then awakening
arrives by itself. The ultimate cannot belong to anyone nor can there be someone who is awakened.’
Stephen talks us through his spiritual journey and realisations. From realising that there was no fixed reality when he was a child to having his earlier insights confirmed when he took LSD in his 20s. He was drawn to India and the ‘Mother Ganges’ where he discovered the teachings of S.N. Goenka. Spent time on many retreats with Sayama and other Buddhist teachers such as Stephen Batchelor and Christopher Titmuss.
Formed the Israel Insight Society; distanced himself from Buddhism but fully embraced the teachings of the Buddha and still teaches around 15 retreats a year. Also works in the area of Palestinian/Israeli reconciliation….’There is no way to peace, Peace is the way.’
Can describe his lived experience with great precision and clarity; took part on a study which explored 3 stages:
Stage 1 - ordinary sense of self and boundary
Stage 2 - sense of dropping boundary to some extent
Stage 3 - dissolution
In this interview he explains these stages in detail.

I have had the grace of attending a retreat under this gentelman's guidance. He has so much wisdom and such lightness of heart. His wonderment at life is contagious.
A great interview guys...
Iain is the best interviewer in this area because he doesn't come from a place of ego and has no hidden agenda,not trying to push a point. The person he is interviewing is front and centre not himself unlike other interviewers in this area.
And Stephen is a very wise man who actually walks the talk.
+glenemma1 And I fully recommend Stephen's 10 min. meditation at the end.
Iain is really right up there with the best interviewers hey .. He's so good. I'm hooked on all conscious tv videos because he makes them so easy to listen to and so intriguing. Keep it up Iain.
@@glenemma1 Yes being a football fan has taught him the "way"
It would have been interesting to hear Stephen Fulder have a talk with British philosopher Douglas Harding. Both talk about how our parents helped create our identity by talking to us as if we were fixed unchanging entities.
I just got Fulder’s new book “Beyond Mindfulness”. Fulder is amazingly insightful.
This is really lovely to be seen. I consider myself fortunate to come across it. Thanks Conscious . Tv !
wonderfilled...i saw the relentless thoughts move back....noticed how i am breathed....no effort...thank you...gift recieved!
Dreams appear real while you are in them...so it is with this world.
There is light of self above dream world, material manifestation is reincarnation of dream. Awakening in dream is the key, but ego leaves in the cave and do not let awareness to identify the self. This is the world of ego and it has no life beyond material body. Light self enters dream and creates ego as if father child within womb of the moon and loses awareness. Ego supports dream and father cannot do anything until its magnetic field grows stronger than darkness of the womb to overcome child and identify own self.
Just dreams look around you Whats good about it Life is a constant struggle to keep the bs away
Actually putting up it with it n living with it.
Stephen was a very aware child to realize identity was conditioned by one’s parents and the people around him. Most people never figure that out. It reminds me of Douglas Harding’s teachings.
“Awakening appears after attachment dissolves.” Once again, it is our conditioning that holds us back. Fulder really gets to the core of the issue what Dogen called “the great matter of life and death.”
I love what you said here....the idea that identity is simply conditioning by one’s parents and the people around us.
Truly Wonderful.
I love the meditation at the end.
Ian always wants more of "the story." Lol. Love this channel.
... thank you, Ian...a fine interview. Full of signposts including Dhamma, Vipassana, detachment, compassion, Nisargadatta, etc. Be happy.
Thank you for sharing your experience
what you believe is what you see what you perceive is what you receive
Dhamma teachings are wonderful. I completely agree that it is the underlying base of all the teachings. It actually leads you to the core of consciousness gradually clearing off karma.
Very nice.......thank you
Wonderful.
Well Said, love this interview.I wish to get his book and read it.

There is no way to peace, peace is the way .
Love it!
very nice ... thanks
Excellent
Lain who is the most impressive person you have interveiwed? Thank you!
Ian McNay is the finest of interviewers. Concious tv, Top Gear (the original repeats on Dave) = best thing on tv. And babestation obviously.
He demonstrates the very trap the non dual teachings point to. He is on a path to where ? We(?) must be careful etc. Fine he has done 20'000 hours of meditation and he says he gets a reward. The reward is to carry on being a seeker/teacher
When Tony Parsons says that when it happens it does not happen to anyone, it frustrates the mind because it cannot understand. It is true that you have to be absent at the point of illumination, and this cannot be willed, but the listener is frustrated. Only when one has passed through that which few people go through that one can understand this. It is somewhat akin to being checkmated and yet seeing a way out.
Please check out Paul Hedderman, and don't get irritated by the choice of his unrefined words. The solution is not found by trying to solve the problem (the 'me'). One has just overlooked that there is no problem.
Is any way there is a possibility of ian being interviewed
Showing awakening arriving, then leaving, then arriving...🐣

This is not knowledge it is information , you call it knowledge when it is your own experience and true for you
DJMikeron You Are Perfectly Right.
We Thanked him for sharing His Knowledge. Now, if shared information also becomes someone else's knowledge, depends on each Individual that listens and finds out the same facts for themselves. True Inner Path is The Only Way to Our Own Truth. Reconnect to Inner Oneness to Know The Truth.
NAMASTE
He seems to be always seeking.....
too much labeling
the fastest way to do this is to attend an enlightenment intensive with Russell Scott in Canada. look it up. Awaken the guru in you.
The fastest way to lose interest and the fun of Life is when you Want to Know how the Magicians is Doing the Trick. Just Enjoy the Show. Thats why you Are Here it's a Big Entertainment Game. Thats why it was created for fun and Entertainment . Enjoy the Ride . Enjoy the kick of pretending not to Know . If you See a Tree Thats what you Are ment to See, if you were ment to See it as an Energy Field Thats Another Game . Trees Are much nicer to Look at. So you Are invalidating god and his Universal Creation by Saying it's all a lie. Which is basically true :) Let God have his Game and Smile with a hint of knowingness. :) Enjoy your Rib eye Steak as it is. The closer you Look the less you will See.
This is the word of the Lord. :)))))))
What if you see a child being hurt or an animal being cruelly treated, or someone starving to death. Just enjoy the ride?
You did really understand my point and therefore did not understand the video. Go back to sleep
DJMikeron You can't answer my sincere question. If you insult others your philosophy is not worth two cents.Reading my question you got all defensive and didn't seem to be enjoying your ride. Did you enjoy reading what I just wrote or are you concocting another defensive insult? Your system should work for all situations. Tell me you are loving it .
go back to sleep . i dont have a philosophy . enjoy the ride
You were born asleep. Enjoy the blah,blah blah
