Eighteen talks and guided meditations — the little self and
the higher Self, death as graduation, kindness, peace of mind, the Divine
Cosmos — recorded over seven years and gathered here in full, with
their original descriptions.
The Episodes eighteen talks, newest first
These were also released on Spotify and Apple Podcasts as
Molten Golden Mountain Teachings; the audio here is the same recording,
hosted directly so it doesn’t depend on any platform staying around.
The Love in Action episodes from the same feed aren’t repeated
here — that material lives with the book instead.
What is death? At its simplest, death is when the physical body stops working permanently. Does anything or anyone survive the cessation of bodily function? Yes.This episode discusses what happens at death, and an authentic response to the death of a beloved dog.
Full throttle--that's when we're doing what we love and doing it well. When we're running full throttle we often feel uplifted as a result of this wholehearted expression of the Divine in our lives. And if our full throttle expression touches others, they too may benefit.When are you full throttle, with the customary and perhaps habitual restraints of your daily life fallen away for awhile?
The Prayer of St. Francis shows us how to live, how to love, and how to find peace. This episode discusses the prayer, and several ways to work with it in our inner and outer lives. Thanks to Eknath Easwaran who introduced this prayer to me over 30 years ago.
How do we find peace? This episode provides a simple practice, based on Psalm 46:10, which says "Be still and know that I am God." People who do not relate to "God" might enjoy the Nectar of Peace Guided Meditation.
Some Eastern traditions emphasize liberation from the little self and sometimes speak of "annihilating the ego." Here we discuss enrichment of our human life through integration of the little self and the free spaciousness of the higher Self.
Do you have spiritual experiences? Who is the "you" that has "spiritual experiences?" Must you "annihilate" your ego or "little self" as part of your spiritual development?
What is the purpose of your life? We human beings are very important in the Universe because we are where Heaven and Earth can reunite. Through our love, kindness and practice of meditation we can mend ourselves and mend the world.
