Send Rachel a text message.What if your thoughts and emotions are experiences you have, not the essence of who you are?In this episode, we explore:non-duality and the quantum fieldthe difference between awareness and identitywhy emotions rise and fall like waveshow to stop letting thoughts run the showa simple reflective exercise to reconnect with the eternal SelfThis is about reclaiming your power—not by suppressing emotion, but by remembering what remains aware beneath it all.

This episode originally aired in 2025 and, as one of our most-loved conversations, we're sharing it again with you today.Today, we spend more time on the fourth kosha, Vigyanamaya Kosha. The word “Vigyana” means “knowing.” This layer is true intellect, intuition, wisdom, and higher awareness. Within this layer, one experiences union of Spirit, realizing they are a spiritual being having a human experience. We also delve into the fifth layer, the Anandamaya Kosha. “Ananda” means “bliss,” so this is our Bliss Body. Love, peace, joy, connection, and bliss are all a constant experience here, without any reason, and it's beyond just an emotion. Bliss is the experience we gain from connecting to the Atman (true self) without masks, opinions, ideas, or identities. We begin exploring another part of the subtle anatomy, known as Chakras. Chakras are energy vortexes in the subtle/energetic body, located along the sushumna nadi, starting from the base of the spine, or tail bone, all the way up through the crown of the head. The first is Muladhara, which we felt required its own episode, as the strength of the rest of the chakras rest upon this foundation.Muladhara translates as the root, whose energy flows to the rest of the chakras and sets the tone for our sense of self. Herein lies infinite potential but also fear, since all Fear is essentially about the Unknown, and the Unknown is also the Infinite Potential. A lot of our limitations are self-imposed, acquired through conditioning, so the muladhara represents the possibility of liberation when we realize we have the choice to change and evolve. Daily practices and routines, often the simple ones we mention in today's conversation, help strengthen our inner stability. Disciplines, like yoga asana, anchor us so that experiences don't lead us off path and away from our true self. A huge part of our inner work is with this chakra. Cultivating a base experience of Trust over Fear. This chakra represents the Earth element, and we hope you feel its grounding energy through this teaching. Send us Fan MailFor 20% off Kerala Ayurveda products, use code OjasOasis at checkoutFor 20% off GarryNSun products, use code OJASOASIS20 at checkoutFor 20% off Ora Cacao products, use OJASOASIS20 at checkout Support the showTo learn more about working with us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube

25th May 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching session focused on self-realization and the nature of the Atman (self). He explained that all forms of worship and devotion should ultimately lead to recognizing one's true nature as uninvolved awareness, distinct from the body-mind complex. Sanjay emphasized that people are not the physical form or mental activities they experience, but rather the witnessing consciousness that remains uninvolved even during dreams and waking states. He discussed the concept of total acceptance as a trait of the Atman, contrasting it with the ego's limited acceptance, and shared that true understanding can come quickly when one is 100% convinced of their uninvolved nature. The session concluded with teachings about remaining in inner silence and using the question "Who am I?" to dissolve the illusory ego, with Sanjay noting that this spiritual truth is accessible to anyone regardless of education or background.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia. Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

What if Kundalini is not about energy symptoms—but the direct path to Moksha? This talk explores Moksha and the sacred Shiva Shakti Union through the tantric science of liberation.  Rather than focusing on techniques or experiences, this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma reveals Kundalini as a process of consciousness transmutation—from individual identity to infinite being, from Atman to Paramatma, and into liberation while living. Drawing on classical Tantra, this talk explains how the awakening of Kundalini Shakti moves through the chakras and layers of existence, dissolving the belief in separation, and guiding the soul toward non-separation and the realization of the eternal Self. This is the path of the Jivanmukta, one who lives in the world while established in liberation. As consciousness ascends in frequency, individuality dissolves into the Infinite, revealing unity, divine essence, and the natural state of freedom known as Moksha. Kundalini is presented not as a physical sensation or dramatic experience, but as the sacred movement of consciousness toward its source through the Shiva Shakti Union. This teaching is for sincere seekers drawn to the tantric science of liberation, chakras and consciousness, and the realization of truth beyond the limitations of the separate self.

Awakening reveals that the ego-self is not our true nature. Discover Moksha, non-separation, and the vast love at the heart of all existence. This talk explores what it truly means to awaken—to move beyond the ego-self and open into the deeper reality of Atman, the infinite presence within all beings. Rather than escaping life, Moksha is the dissolving of the sense of separation, a shift into non-separation where the divine essence quietly permeates every moment of experience. Through clear, grounded explanation, Maetreyii Ma describes how consciousness unfolds: how Samskaras remain in the body-mind even as awareness expands, how surrender deepens into direct realization, and how the journey from individuality toward the vastness of the Godself becomes the natural destiny of human life. She also speaks to the states of Mukti and the Jivanmukta—those who live in the world while abiding in unity consciousness—and how the great love at the center of all existence reveals itself through awe, devotion, and inner stillness. If you're drawn to spiritual awakening, yoga philosophy, meditation, or the lived reality of nondual experience, this Baba Talk offers a rare and illuminating look into the heart of realization, and what it means to return to the wholeness that has always been your true nature.

What does it truly mean to move from the ego-self to Atman? What is Moksha, Mukti, and the dissolution of individuality? This Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma explores how consciousness awakens from separation into non-separation, revealing the oneness of all existence. In this teaching, Baba explains how the ego-self dissolves, how the Atman merges into Paramatma, and what occurs when a Jivanmukta or realized being continues to live in a physical body. Through examining samskaras, surrender, and the evolution from Mukti to Moksha, this talk clarifies the deepest stages of self-realization. You'll learn how unity with the infinite Brahma expresses in human life, why individuality fades, and how divine essence flows through the body-mind as limitations fall away. This teaching offers a grounded understanding of nondual awareness and the path beyond the illusion of separateness.

Step from ego-self to Atman in this profound Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, an exploration of the nondual truth at the heart of Yoga's deepest teachings. This talk reveals how suffering arises from the illusion of separateness and how awakening leads into the Oneness of All Existence. In this discourse, Maetreyii Ma explains how the ego-self creates restlessness, fear, and longing—yet dissolves when we surrender into the infinite presence of pure love. As the heart opens, the Atman, the true Self, shines through, revealing the Oneness that underlies all forms of life. This shift is the essence of the nondual journey: seeing divinity everywhere and returning to the core of being. Drawing from ancient insights and universal dharma, the talk shows how the infinite Brahma expresses through every being, every moment, and every movement of creation. When the veil of ignorance drops, the seeker realizes that all forms are the Beloved—Baba in countless expressions. If you're drawn to teachings of unity, inner peace, and spiritual awakening, this Baba Talk offers a doorway into the Oneness of All Existence.   About  Maetreyii Ma Nolan, Ph.D. Maetreyii Ma Nolan, Ph.D., is an award-winning author, spiritual teacher, and psychologist, expert in consciousness and holistic healing.

Atman! is een poëtisch en speels avontuur van taalvirtuoos Moeyaert vol spectaculaire wendingen en fonkelende zinnen. Uitgegeven door Querido Spreker: Bart Moeyaert

We are joined today by Joe Atman (again!). The last time I spoke to Joe Atman, I really took him to task, so this time, I'm going to be nicer! Today we are talking about his work and his book A Philosophical War. We talk a little philosophy and we get into his podcasts, his work in education with Middletree and his new Substack: The Philosophy of Joe.

Ego and identity dissolve when we turn inward toward the Atman, and through surrender we discover the Godself within. This talk reveals how. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, we explore what lies beneath the shifting layers of ego, personality, and accumulated identity. Drawing from deep yoga philosophy, Maetreyii Ma guides you into the heart of the Atman—the conscious knower behind all experience. You'll learn how the restless mind creates a fragile sense of “I,” and how the power of surrender opens the doorway to the infinite. As the ego loosens and the heart softens, the radiant presence of the Godself emerges: pure awareness, unconditional love, and the natural state of being. This teaching explains how turning attention from the known to the knower dissolves the illusion of separation. Through gentle introspection and sincere surrender, we return to the essence that has always been whole, timeless, and free. If you feel called to go beyond self-concepts and rediscover your true Self, this talk will meet you deeply. Namaskar.

What if the deepest structures of mind and cosmos were one and the same? Could the mystery of consciousness be illuminated through the physics of black holes, the archetypes of Jung, or the eternal ideas of Plato?This conversation with Dr. Todd Desmond, philosopher of mind and consciousness, ventures into that threshold. Dr. Desmond's work investigates singularity as both a physical and psychological reality, drawing connections between philosophy, depth psychology, and cosmology. Together we follow the strange symmetry that links psyche and singularity — from Einstein's equations to Jung's archetypes, from Hegel's Absolute Idea to the holographic principle.Along the way, we consider whether the self itself might be understood as a singularity, what this implies for synchronicity and kairos, and how myth, art, and philosophy open new ways of conceiving the real.At the centre of this dialogue lies a question that reverberates through both science and spirit: is the mind a black hole?00:14 – What is a Singularity?03:48 – Black Holes & Physics07:21 – Jung, Pauli & Mirror Symmetry13:29 – Mathematical Forms & Ideas16:01 – Psyche = Singularity?20:09 – Hegel's Absolute Idea24:45 – The Self as Singularity28:20 – Science Fiction & Plexity36:14 – Myth, Cosmology & Science40:06 – Vedanta, Atman & Brahman50:55 – Wheeler's One Electron1:01:04 – Hegel, Jung & Mandala1:07:14 – Jung's Near-Death Experience1:13:42 – Holographic Principle1:20:56 – Black Hole Wars1:27:16 – Synchronicity & Kairos1:34:42 – Art & Metamorphosis1:40:06 – Heaven on Earth

Questions? Comments? Text Us!In this episode, Jerry and Abigail return for their fourth conversation in the series Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, exploring the most profound theme of God: An Autobiography as Told to a Philosopher: the New Axial Age.The term “Axial Age,” introduced by philosopher Karl Jaspers, describes the pivotal era when some of the world's greatest spiritual figures appeared within a few centuries of one another: Socrates, the Hebrew prophets, the Buddha, Confucius, and the sages of the Upanishads. Humanity shifted on its spiritual axis, developing new ways of thinking, deeper moral insights, and new pathways to the divine. Now, Jerry shares that God revealed to him we stand on the threshold of another great transformation, a new spiritual era filled with both peril and promise.Together, Jerry and Abigail ask what this might mean for religions and traditions born in the first Axial Age. Are they fading, losing their power to hold communities together, as God suggests, while a new spirituality rises in diverse, often fragmented ways? Abigail speaks of her profound yet complex relationship with Judaism, her spiritual experiences in India, her affection for Gandhi, and her surprising love of country gospel. Jerry recalls his own journey from Southern Baptist and Pentecostal childhood through philosophy into a direct encounter with God.Their conversation moves between history, theology, and personal testimony, showing how ancient wisdom and modern lives intertwine. They consider the Jewish vocation of chronology and covenant, the Hindu pursuit of Atman and Brahman, and the universal human calling to partner with God in history. Through all of this, one theme emerges as both anchor and challenge: to be truthful—to reality, to God, and to oneself.Are we living through a moment of spiritual collapse or the birth of something radically new? Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare your story: questions@godandautobiography.comShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

I'm back with Chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita! This is so dense I had to split it into two parts. Today we'll discuss verses 1-38. This chapter serves as a foundation for understanding the eternal nature of the soul (Atman) and the importance of non-attachment in the face of life's challenges. Let's look at Arjuna's emotional turmoil and Krishna's tough love approach, emphasizing the need for inner stability and the acceptance of life's transient nature. The emphasis on the immortality of the soul, the significance of understanding one's Dharma, and the win-win perspective in life. This chapter literally has all of Krishna's essential teachings. Making it a gold mine. Get ready to learn from the original life coach (Krishna):

“I am the vine; you are the branches.If you remain in me and I in you,you will bear much fruit;apart from Me you can do nothing." - John 15:5*****************************************In every situation I've ever been in,I stand there long enough,or I sit there long enough,listening to the Silence within, and whatever emotion was (t)here,it parts like clouds, and there's the Son, again. Jesus, smiling like,'You did it! GoOD!Now let's do it again... (let's take it from the top haha)Can you recognize Me again? Can you find Me again? In this scene?And in this mess?And in that person? And in this circumstance?And in this moment?And in this one?And in this one?And in this one? This is all you're ever doing. Look up. Which means, look in.This Love will bear fruit,abundantly.

Be the Love you wake up to.--Support GoOD Mornings on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/c/goodmorning________________QUOTES If you missed Day 1, start HERE! "(From Jesus) Surrender to me does not mean to fret, to be upset, or to lose hope, nor does it mean offering to Me a worried prayer, asking Me to follow you and change your worry into prayer. It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about the consequences of anything. It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother's way. Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in My care, so that only I act; saying, "You take care of it".(Repeat the following prayer 10 times.)O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.Amen" - Father Ruotolo Dolindo "A beautiful prayer to Krishna is, 'please let me feel your warm affection as I chant.'" - Mahatma Das "Without a name, without a body, tell me about yourself. Tell me something about yourself without mentioning your memories or mind. Can you tell me something? Nothing can be said... That's You." - Nisargadatta Maharaj“‘Lest ye become as little children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.' Unless you start again, become that trusting, open surrendered being, the energy can't come in. That's the kingdom of heaven; the energy, cosmic consciousness, the same thing.” – Ram Dass"He was crucified so that his spirit could spread throughout the world. He sacrificed his body for the dharma. He never died, he never died. He is Atman (the Soul), living in the hearts of all." -Neem Karoli Baba
