Acerca de esta escucha
Jeff Foster invites you to forget everything you know, everything you've been taught, and everything you've ever heard about spiritual awakening, oneness, enlightenment, non-duality, and Advaita, and to consider a new possibility: the possibility of absolute freedom, right now, right here, in the midst of this very ordinary life.
Using everyday language and drawing on both personal experience and age-old wisdom, Foster shares the possibility that all the seeking and longing of the mind can come to an absolute end with the falling away of the sense of being a separate individual, and a plunge into unconditional love. And in that plunge - which is totally beyond anything you have ever imagined - this so-called ordinary life reveals its great Secret. Written with stunning clarity and aliveness, this book is a love letter to the exhausted spiritual seeker who is simply longing to come home.

Historia
As we open up to life and love and each other, as we awaken from our dream of separation, we encounter not just the bliss of existence, but its pain, too; not only life's ecstasy, but also its agony. Healing doesn't always feel good or comfortable or even "spiritual", for we are inevitably forced to confront our shadows, fears, and deepest longings - those secret parts of ourselves that we have denied, repressed, or deemed "negative" and unworthy of our love.

Historia
In this book of key spiritual teachings from unpublished discourses, the great Advaita Master, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, teaches us that we are not limited to the body. Because of our mistaken body identity, we feel separate from what we truly are. Our identification with the body and mind subjects us to endless cycles of pleasure and pain, desire and fear, which cause us to search beyond ourselves for that which we believe we lack.

It provides clear guidance for moving beyond the thoughts, feelings, and habits that keep you stuck—so you can heal the pain of the past and let your spirit soar. It's time to stop struggling and start experiencing.

The legendary British actor Terence Stamp reads the book that he says 'changed his life'. This is an exploration of our existence and a journey towards enlightenment. In what the author calls 'the fine print' at the start of the book, David Carse wrote: 'There are many books out there that will help you to live a better life, become a better person, and evolve and grow to realise your potential as a spiritual being. This is not one of them....'

Adyashanti asks us to let go of our struggles with life and open to the full promise of spiritual awakening: the end of delusion and the discovery and expression of our essential being. After 15 years as a spiritual teacher, Adyashanti has found that the simpler the teaching, the greater its power to initiate this awakening. On Falling into Grace, he shares what he considers fundamental insights to "open ourselves to that mysterious element that enters in the hidden and quiet moments and sparks a revolution in the way that we perceive life."

Awareness awakens you to the truth that you possess everything you need right now to be happy and fulfilled. Happiness is your natural state. You don't need to do anything to acquire it; you only need to drop something. This audiobook shows you what that is. There is not a single person who ever gave time to being aware who’s quality of life didn't change. You see life differently because you are different. You respond to people and situations differently. You see things you have never seen before. Beautiful things. You're much more energetic, much more alive.

The Nondual Universe is a deep dive into the actual "experience" of enlightenment or whole-mindedness, the same experience saints and sages from every world religion, or no religion, have enjoyed. In this book, James F. Twyman offers a series of short, concise teachings meant to crack open the door that separates you from your fully awakened self, into the experience of "truth that has always been true". Once this door opens and you are able to see what has always been seen, it will never close again.

LOST FOR WORDS
I really don't have all the words needed to express how much this audio means to me. Jeff has actuslly answered most of the questions ( the important ones ) I was looking for. Must also let you know, I had to listen to this message from beginning to end. Not taking it as a weekly or monthly reading task. It was very inportant for me to hear and take in the answers to all the questions stirring within as soon as possible. I was not dissapointed. Thank you so much for taking the time to cover every question, every doubt a person could have in their search for PEACE. Thank The Lord for This book.

Helpful Book
Concise discussion of duality/non-duality. Narration a bit monotonous which can help me to drift off to sleep which I find useful. Being rested helps me absorb these deep concepts. I will keep listening to this one for awhile,

NO
What aspect of Stephen Paul Aulridge Jr.’s performance would you have changed?
MAKING IT CLEARER FOR THE LISTENER
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from An Extraordinary Absence?

Any additional comments?
