What a great interview! I really appreciate your no-BS approach to awakening. It’s unfortunate that it’s such a rarity these days. I just subscribed to your channel and purchased both of your books. Thank you for sharing your views with us.
Happy to hear that. Enjoy.
Thanks for sharing this again, Robert. It’s the only BATGAP interview I ever watched the whole way through as all the rest make me go to sleep. Thoroughly enjoying your Ten Thousand Things and have Depending on No-Thing waiting in the bookcase. Really appreciate and resonate with your insights💜
Thanks. Very kind.
Spectacular interview 🎉😊
It is not terribly surprising to me why Rick banned this interview (I have been listening and enjoying his interviews for years). As I see it, Rick is religious, embraces metaphysics and is (and has been) a devotee since his TM days; this interview challenges all of that. I think it’s a shame it was deleted because it’s a thought provoking interview. Thanks for making it available.
Gem of an interview. Thanks for re-posting.
Great interview, sorry it was removed but I still love Rick. He treads a fine line mediating between different factions of the spiritual community and all the baggage and projections that comes with it. Just one of those things I guess...
This is pure gold. Thank you. Was this banned? Why? This message is so valuable for people to hear.
I remember BATGAP from years ago. I saw a few interesting interviews, with people like Tony Parsons. I think what ended it for me when Rick was entertaining the idea of angels with a guest that had clearly eaten too many mushrooms. 😆
I get it, Robert. Thank you so much for this conversation. 45:26
Formidable humbleness about the Global. Optical. Delusion. The Myth! Admirable!
I liked this interview . Love Rick and Robert.
Why was this interview removed on batgap? Thanks for reposting it Robert! I love your simple and honest approach.

I had to stop watching BATGAP in recent years. Reason was obvious to me that he is still a TM instructor who hasn't wound down from that programming yet. Sure he has added other things, but he also can't seem to keep from interjecting, with his own 'take'. Now if this were a private interview between the two of you, fine, not a problem. But most of us, I say, want to get as much info about the person being interviewed.
Questions from Rick are fine and expected, but he doesn't need to keep interrupting the flow by countering with his opinion/concepts imo. I'm not the only one who has had to give up BATGAP for the same reason. He is both teaching while searching himself. Yes, he seems to think he is a bhakti and Amma, the so called hugging saint, is his love or worship object, savior or whatever. Maybe he didn't get enough love from MMY (the TM guru)? Whatever, the only reason I watched this is to see and hear Robert from back then. Rick wasn't as bad then or in this interview than he is now. Not as torturous as most videos though I did fast forward when he got a bit long with his spiel.
Thanks for sharing this video Robert.
:)
I'm afraid you lost me when you snubbed Rumi, one of my favourite poets, he was a mystic of great insight, but being non-American, it was quite typical of Americans to forget that not all poets were English speaking, of course the translation is lost once the original has to be translated. Also, attending a Sufi Centre for 3 years, makes me feel like perhaps I understood what Rumi was conveying more then one who hasn't experienced a Sufi gathering.
There is no disputing taste. I can't get with the Bhakti devotionalism and yearning,
but if you like Rumi, that's OK by me.
I guess I am awakened because what RS describes is exactly how it is.
I'd say "awake." To my ear, "awakened" sounds somehow grandiose for such a simple observation.
"I get it" means I understand which is all intellectual. To me, you never want to get it, as it means you have an answer. You never want an answer, only more questions. I don't know and I don't know are extremely different from each other.
What is called consciousness is perceptional activity happening by itself & if there is an identity...it is still an appearance of perceptional activity appearing as perception happening to someone...a person or an individual...better yet, a unit claiming awareness of its own.
Response to Archer's praising Adyashanti. "Ruling out the sex*al abusers and all those people for obvious reasons, leave them out there. You are talking about something else. You are talking about people who are 'sincere'. They believe they're doing something good. They believe they have found something and they want to share it. I understand that. I get that. If that works for someone, great. I am not gonna be sitting here criticizing that." You also said, "There is a place for it. The place is not about awakening. It's about being comfortable in the hypnotic trance." - You say it as it is, Robert. Thank you.
My pleasure, Sabine. It's always a joy to hear from you.
"Banned". Even Saltzman uses clickbaits nowdays, funny.
That is funny. However, do notice that this channel is free of advertising and so pays me nothing but the pleasure of sharing ideas that appeal to me.
Coming here from Martin Butler Patreon (life is a shitshow guy). I have been through them all (Schopenhauer, Osho, Gurdjieff, Krishnamurtis, Maharshi) when I thought that I am all done with it, I came acros Christopher Langan, and the fact that he has an IQ of 200, rather impenetrable theory of everything and can crush literally everyone in an argument impressed me, but at the end, I still dont know what to make out of it... I am lost like I have always been I guess.
You are the only one who knows what it's like to be you. No matter how high some guy's IQ may be, he'll never know you.
Towards the end, Rick says Robert was doing great as an interviewee and he found the conversation, in his own word - "enriching." So then why ban it? SMH
💫💫👍💫💫
So the caterpillar is you and its death is what people call your awakening? Because you weren't dropped into a higher self but into an insubstantial person hood.
Why on Earth was it banned, Robert?
Hi, Paul. This is the history:
czcams.com/video/_EgJu0-8XCc/video.html
@@RobertSaltzmanThanks, Robert. The discussion you linked to is very interesting, with some good observations about the spiritual racket. And how childish to take down a good interview because of a disagreement over something unconnected.
Wow! A confession of pathological activity. Mythomania with a mustache. Finally after 400 plus shows. Even though everything here stopped & took a different turn into ontological activity, the day a Buddha at the Gas Pump decided to interview, Tony Parsons. Now that interview alone destroyed revealed super clear that there was no autonomous entity inside these bodies making any decisions. However, i must admit that if everything is just random activity happening, Bashar's interview is the most interesting one of all. But, the killer of this show was Tony! Imagine, if Jim Newman steps in or Kenneth Madden. Immediate halt to this shows.
Excuse some prepositional typos
Commenting happens!
Intuitional activity together with perceptional activity is what is called nowadays, awareness or consciousness. This phenomena always gets invaded by narcissism with identity till that collapses & boom! There! Sinchronicity for no one. In addition, the revelation that there has never been anyone anywhere in anytime. Painful simplicity.
