TOM DAS We hope you enjoy this insightful and different Non Duality perspective from Tom Das. I really enjoyed our chat. About Tom: From an early age, he was exposed to practices such as aikido, yoga, and meditation, which instilled a sense of spiritual curiosity in him. As he grew older, he discovered the teachings of Jesus, Swami Vivekananda, and Jiddu Krishnamurti, which sparked a deep interest in the direct experience of God. He immersed himself in spiritual texts, devouring works on Buddhism, Zen, Taoism, Mystic Christianity, Vedanta, and Dzogchen. Despite pursuing a career in science and mathematics, his spiritual journey remained a priority, leading him to explore and seek answers for over 15-20 years. Along the way, he discovered Sri Ramana Maharshi, whose teachings resonated with him on a deep level and sparked a sense of overwhelming love and devotion.

Gilad Karni We hope you enjoy this insightful and different Non Duality perspective from Gilad Karni. I really enjoyed our chat. Contact glad via his website. https://karnigilad.com About Gilad Like any living being, “I” am an ever-present being that is not separated by individual perspective, even though it seems to be. The nature of Self is oneness. The nature of Self is ever-present. The nature of Self eternal joy and freedom. All social problems, from the individual level to the global level, are rooted in misunderstanding our true Self and believing in the false sense of separation. My work is in dissolving the mind's false sense of separation and limitation and facilitating the truest expression of Self from the person I am with, bringing unity of Self, business, leadership, and society in alignment with the oneness of our nature.

She encourages people to question the stories, beliefs and misunderstandings that create so much of our human suffering, especially our tendency to mistake conceptual maps for the living actuality. Her bare-bones approach is open, direct, down-to-earth, and rooted in the ever-fresh aliveness of presence-awareness. Rather than relying on outside authorities, traditional ideas, acquired knowledge or beliefs, this is about direct, firsthand, present experience.

Naho Owada website https://www.nahoowada.com It was before the age of one when Naho sensed that humanity, this world, was not a comfortable place. Her mother told her that she first noticed Naho’s experience of the world while she was in her baby seat. Naho appeared to be in shock. She said that often her eyes would be wide and moving from left to right, as if she were seeing evil or in terror. Naho was very tense. Somewhere around the age of three, there was a natural sense that saw clearly the loneliness or suffering underneath all humans. Naho could see in the faces that there was something hiding, an unease underneath the smile. Naho was always feeling uncomfortable. By the time Naho turned five, she asked her mother why she had to continue to live. It was in her teen years that Naho began her deep search in finding the cause of the uncomfortableness, of which she never found. Around the age of 20, Naho realized she would not find the answer where she was looking. She didn’t experience any tragedies in her life and therefore knew that it was not the story of the life that was causing her suffering. At the age of 25, she met a man who had had an experience of this. He told her that the cause of suffering was the phantom self. She began to see that wherever she went, there she would be. It seemed to be following her; this ‘I’. She couldn’t escape the self that seemed to be having such uncomfortableness. It was from there that she knew she found the answer she was searching for. It became evident that everyone is born with a sense of lack that comes from apparent separation--but this has nothing to do with the story of their apparent life. People try to find the answer in their storyline and that is because they think if they change the story, it will bring them happiness. That isn't true. That will only bring relief for a short period of time. It began to be obvious that the person we believe our ‘self’ to be, is a complete illusion. Soon thereafter, there came an apparent moment (while on her way to the organic supermarket) that the illusion completely vanished. What was left is everything, without a center.

He was a seeker, and a questioner. As a child he was one of those annoying kids who always asked "why?" He grew up in a small village in The Fens in Cambridgeshire where he still lives today. Loving sport he became a PE teacher, but secretly always wanted to dance. One day whilst leading a group of students on a hike in Derbyshire he was walking up a rocky wooded hill. He stopped. Time stopped. Afterwards he described it as, "I knew the rocks and trees and they knew me. I was the rocks and trees and they were me." That's not really how it was, but that seemed like the only way he could make sense of it. After that 'revelation', things were never the same. His seeking was now focussed on finding an answer to what had seemed to have been revealed. He found the message of non-duality, and was bitten. There was immediate and undeniable resonance. There was absolutely no doubting that this was it! There followed many, exciting, frustrating and painful years of being a non-duality addict. He bought every book that even vaguely resonated, watched endless YouTube, promiscuously flitting from one speaker to another looking for the secret nugget that would lead to liberation. He learnt a lot. He understood a lot. It became obvious that all his knowledge and understanding were worthless, and he fell into despair. The despair lasted, until it stopped. In its place was emptiness, peace, silence, and love, but mostly emptiness. Of course, none of that happened. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/thediscardedcompass/donations
