I'm actually pure consciousness."19:36 You can stop thinking and all the imagery, but you can't make the consciousness go away, because that's your Self.20:19 Do you rise above that, Baba, in Nirvikalpa Samadhi or Sahaja Samadhi?20:37 Verse 5 comments21:49 What is watching the mind through the mind?24:31 So there is a duality in the sense that there's a knowingness going on, but there's no second thing, it's just knowing itself.25:40 So we're using the mind's attention to watch itself, is that what we're trying to accomplish with meditation?27:28 So once you get absorbed in that point there is just seeing?28:36 As you become absorbed in between the eyebrows, you are no longer seeing with the eyeballs, but yet you continue to see with your mind's eye?29:40 Reading of verses.31:25 All the universe has arisen in this Self simply by imagination.33:14 "You realize that this space is the ultimate Truth and Pure Consciousness."34:32 "Space is the source of consciousness of Self Existence."35:10 "Every term used is as an imagination for the sake of understanding and communication in this world."37:21 "The universe is also a higher consciousness magic show with no existence value"38:32 What's the difference between pure awareness and pure consciousness?39:09 Which will exist after the finishing of the body and mind — Pure Awareness, or Pure Consciousness?39:26 So awareness requires mind?39:45 What's the difference between Pure Consciousness and Consciousness of Existence?40:27 Sometimes you've given the example, if a person is looking in a mirror, the image in the mirror can't see the person. Is the person in that example consciousness, and the image in the mirror the mind?41:05 Why does the mind constantly test itself?42:41 In reality is there a specific auspicious or inauspicious time?44:15 Why would one come back to the body after the merger has happened?44:51 Just before the merger there's a warmth of duality that is experienced before you merge? Can one experience loved ones before the merger?47:41 What is the concept of 'the feet of Lord Vishnu'?48:51 Is the external world and what's happening also part of the mind — the same mind as the inner mind, but a higher potency?50:01 There is only one divinity, there is nothing else? So then everything is God?51:22 What do you mean watch the thoughts? Either thought is not there, or I am not watching it. 53:30 You don't try to actually watch the thought that you're having? You just continue to watch without imagining?54:32 My video was off during the initiation. Have I received Baba's initiation?55:01 Just before merging, is there any Samyama that is helpful for Moksha, or is patience all that is needed? 57:38 If you have an intention when performing samyama, will it help to manifest that intention?58:16 Is dhyana, meditation, the ending of experience?___Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/

The jury at the inquest into the death of Noah Donohoe has been unable to reach a unanimous verdict. Belfast Coroner's Court has adjourned the inquest to a future date. We got the latest on this with Liam Tunney a journalist with the Belfast Telegraph.
The Noah Donohoe inquest has been adjourned until later in the year following an “unprecedented” late-night sitting. Jurors were sent out on Tuesday to begin discussions about their verdict and had been deliberating for almost 25 hours. The jury of eight men and two women were asked to deliver a verdict on teen's death, and were asked to cover “what police knew, when they knew it and what they did in response”. Court was adjourned until at least August or September. Gareth Hanna joins Belfast Telegraph Journalist Liam Tunney. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The role and impact of carceral AI technologies in our criminal punishment system and on our society is significant, outrageous, and dangerous. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “Precrime Is No Longer Science Fiction” by Sarah Fathallah in Inquest, which highlights and analyzes the dangerous impact of biometric technologies to predict the likelihood of crime and criminality and expand the reach of the carceral state and criminal punishment system, and what we learn and take away from this incredible piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.

Since the late nineteenth century, amusement parks have been providing countless hours of enjoyment for people all around the world. Often driven by the latest technology and advances in mechanical engineering, the thrill rides at parks like Disney Land, Great America, and other independent parks offer a controlled environment to experience terror and excitement. While these rides, and the parks in general, are very safe and held to strict safety standards, there are times when the unthinkable happens—a cable snaps, a safety harness breaks—and the once safe ride becomes a nightmare for passengers. Far more often than not, tragic amusement park accidents are the result of human foolishness or, far less often, operator error. But other times, they are a bizarre fluke; a one in a million mechanical problem no one saw coming. Either way, the results can be shocking, horrifying, and even deadly.

They have achieved that, after which there is no need to achieve anything else.13:47 It is getting over the ego, "I am this, I am that."14:26 Verse 13. "A Yogi has neither any worldly duties to perform or any attachments to anything."16:14 Do the answers to questions come to Babaji spontaneously?16:43 Does a Yogi have imaginations flowing though the mind?18:19 So a Yogi has no worldly duties to perform?20:32 A Yogi's mechanical body actions are the effects of their past karma.23:24 What did Babaji mean by 'the body is just a robot'?24:16 Babaji is not a person?25:30 If a Yogi comes across suffering of others or if someone prays for them to help, they will always be compassionate.26:38 Is it important to ask the Divinity for something you want?27:13 Verse 14. "Where Is liberation for the great one who rests now beyond the world of desires?"29:16 Verse 15. "Although bodily they see the world, a Yogi actually, in consciuousnss, does not see anything."31:52 If you are not liberated and you hurt yourself, it's hard to tell them that it doesn't hurt.33:02 Does Yogi just witness the pain but is not involved?33:34 Verse 16. "In meditation the mind directly gives up all imaginations simply by watching itself. A practice to realise the Self as it is without any attributes and to rest consciously in the Self."36:18 Verse 17.37:01 What does it mean that a Yogi has no distractions?38:59 Is it possible for a person to lose their identity as a result of extensive meditation?40:35 Are there two identities, one of the person which is held in the brain, and then one of being the Yogi?41:22 What does Babaji mean by, "You cannot make yourself disappear."42:10 For a Yogi, the consciousness of existence has to be functioning in order to have that "I"?42:41 So there is a person, body and mind, then a witness to what we are seeing and hearing, and then there is the consciousness of existence and then that merges back into pure consciousness?43:29 What causes eternal existence to become conscious of its existence?45:21 When you see situations that bring a lot of suffering, how to keep away from judgement and wanting to change the situation?48:51 God appears to people the way that they perceive.50:23 Can one meditate when one is travelling?51:02 Does hunger arise in the Yogi's body?52:08 How to stay grounded as the meditation practice progresses?53:29 What to do when there is anxiety in the body?55:30 Why can we not imagine the images of the Deities after returning from visiting the temple?56:58 Inability to progress in vipassana meditation58:16 How long should I practice meditation?58:33 Do divinely inspired ideas come into the mind, or is that simply the imagination?59:38 What is the difference between the consciousness of existence and the pure consciousness?1:00:50 Is pure consciousness the absolute?1:01:06 Does consciosiuness become mind or does mind become consciousness or do they come simultaneously?1:01:49 When the consciousness of existence arises from the absolute, it has the inherent ability to imagine? 1:02:44 Brahma is the 'I am-ness' without anything else?___Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/
Noah Donohoe's remains were found in a storm drain in north Belfast on June 27, 2020. The 14-year-old had gone missing six days earlier. A post-mortem examination found that the likely cause of death was drowning. The inquest into his death, which is being heard before a jury, is in its 20th week. The jury has now heard from Detective Chief Inspector Tom Phillips. He was the senior investigating officer tasked with finding Noah and is the inquest's final witness. He told the court that Police may ‘never have answers' to some questions around Noah's death. Liam Tunney is covering the inquest for the Belfast Telegraph. Hosted on Acast.

Thus it is the absolute."33:56 But you're also saying even what's imagined is the ultimate truth too?35:29 Verse 635:43 When one is able to overcome all imaginations of the mind, unhappiness is dispelled once and for all. 37:35 Is it awareness that makes consciousness possible, or consciousness that makes awareness possible?38:31 'I am' consciousness and the awareness in pure consciousness.40:14 Verse 740:32 Is the world simply an imagination?44:51 So we can become the truth and have that Pure Awareness, but we can't know the truth because that would reduce Truth to just an idea in the mind.45:24 Since birth we have gone on absorbing impressions and beliefs until it is a firm reality.46:59 Verse 847:17 "Do sadhana and know the truth for yourself."49:22 Verse 950:18 "A Yogi realizes that 'I' is nothing but the ultimate truth of the Self"50:50 So it's the pure awareness, or consciousness of existence from where the "I" arises?52:33 In meditation, I have encountered two parts of watching; one is when we are trying to ignore thoughts and we just bring our attention to the centre (between our eyebrows), and second is, by just watching the thought, it dissolves itself. Is there a difference?54:22 Is ignoring a thought possible?54:45 When you first touched the feet of Shivabalayogi, your sense of 'I' disappeared. Can you remove the sense of 'I' from us if we touch your feet?56:33 How to harness and sustain intention, and is it related to concentration and devotion?57:54 Being quiet in life and the mind quietening when hearing Babaji talk.59:49 Being bothered by the amount of garbage waste in the world - is there a spiritual solution to it?1:01:27 How to be in awareness when doing something and not forget what I am doing?1:02:35 Research talks of importance of connection with other people, is it ok not to have relations with other people?1:04:27 Perspective on other lineages where meditation techniques are a lot more complicated, using chakras etc.Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/

A hearing has been told the headteacher of a school near Canterbury took her own life amid fears she was developing dementia. Alison Higgins had worked at Barham Primary for 10 years before her death, and was described as thoughtful, supporting and caring. Also in today's podcast, the head of a special needs school in Kent has warned they may be forced to make redundancies following a lower than expected funding increase. Five Acre Wood School, in Maidstone, supports nearly 900 students with severe and complex needs. They have received a 1% per-pupil uplift in cash from Kent County Council, but that doesn't account for rising inflation or additional cost pressures. Hear from the head teacher and the response from the local authority. The mother of a young cyclist who was killed in a collision with a bin lorry in Swanley is calling for improved safety measures. 19-year-old Jack Bruce died following the crash on Swanley Lane in September 2021.

The MP for Sittingbourne and Sheppey has led a debate in the Commons over the future of the wreck of the SS Richard Montgomery. The vessel sank off the coast of Sheppey in 1944 and government contractors have now been appointed to remove the masts following safety concerns.

The old Arapaho Powderface had been named a "Chief" by the Federal Government, one of a few tribal headmen to treat with and later ignore. The newspaper called him "obstinate," and it cost him his life. And the story was soon forgotten, how the "Chief" had been shot by a Dewey County Deputy while resisting arrest, left in the yellowing pages of old newspapers in an archive in Oklahoma City. Except for the memory of a little girl, Mona Violet, who had taken the opportunity to see a "real Indian" as Powderface's body lay in wait for a Coroner's Inquest in her sleepy little town.

The United States' immigration and deportation machine is brutal, dangerous, and hurts all of us. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “The Democrats Will Not Save Us” by Spencer Piston in Inquest, which highlights and analyzes how the immigration and deportation machine in the United States is a bipartisan creation, and as such, has evolved into a deadly apparatus of the government and major element of our carceral system, and what we learn and take away from this incredible piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.Follow us on social media and visit our website!

Content WarningThis episode contains discussions of adultery, abortion, and Victorian scandal. Support resources are listed at the end of these notes.This EpisodeSeason 39: The Balham Mystery. For twenty-three days, the secrets of The Priory were stripped bare in the longest inquest in English legal history. Forty witnesses. Thousands of pages of testimony. Florence Bravo finally forced to admit her affair. Dr. Gully humiliated on the stand.Every scandal exposed. And still no murderer named.The VictimCharles Bravo's death demanded answers. The open verdict of the first inquest—held in private, concluded in three days—satisfied no one. His family demanded justice. The newspapers demanded scandal. On May 15th, 1876, the Attorney General ordered an unprecedented second inquest.What followed was theatre as much as justice. The Bedford Hotel in Balham was transformed into a makeshift courtroom. Crowds queued for hours to witness proceedings. The Attorney General himself, Sir John Holker, took personal charge—an extraordinary intervention for a coroner's inquest.The CrimeFlorence Bravo had avoided testifying at the first inquest. Her doctor declared her too ill to appear. This time, there would be no escape.On July 13th, 1876, Florence walked to the witness stand in mourning clothes—black from head to toe. Sir John Holker's questions began gently, then turned to the matter everyone had come to hear."Mrs. Bravo, were you acquainted with Dr. James Manby Gully?""I was.""And what was the nature of that acquaintance?"The room held its breath. Then Florence spoke the words that would define her forever."Dr. Gully and I were... intimately connected. For approximately two years."The crowd erupted. Florence Bravo's reputation died in that moment. But she held firm: she had not killed her husband. She did not know who had.The InvestigationJane Cannon Cox faced far more hostile questioning. Her alleged confession—"I took poison. Don't tell Florence"—was the foundation of the suicide theory. Now it crumbled under scrutiny.Sir John Holker walked her through April 18th minute by minute. The housemaid Mary Ann Keeber heard no confession. The doctors received none. Only Mrs. Cox, alone and uncorroborated, claimed Charles had taken responsibility for his own death.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
