Send me a messageIt's easy to get stuck in a loop of negative thinking. Overthinking, complaining, replaying old pain. Some of us live there for years. This is the simplest gratitude practice I know for getting out.Think of one thing you love. A person, an object, anything at all. Then ask what made it. And then what made that. Keep going, and gratitude stops being something we have to search for. It becomes impossible to avoid.That one question opens into everything else here — presence, impermanence, the oneness of all things, and what the traditions call enlightenment, which is nothing more mysterious than an awareness wide enough to see how it all connects.Nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, everything is recycled, rising and falling. And nothing we truly love is ever lost.If you've been looking for a way to stop overthinking, quiet a critical mind, or just find one thing to be grateful for on a hard day, start at the beginning and go slowly.CHAPTERS0:00 The loop we get stuck in0:57 Start with one favorite thing1:38 Now ask what made them2:41 Infinite things made everything3:38 Gratitude with nothing left out5:36 Where did all of it come from7:01 There is no past and no future8:19 There is no future happiness9:13 Life is like waiting for test results9:51 The breath is the doorway11:00 Choosing where we rest our attention12:03 Expanded awareness15:42 The fight on the sidewalk and the view from space16:18 We are not one small life17:07 How consciousness rises19:20 The practice20:02 This is enlightenmentPlease enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

*Before a child ever learns language, the nervous system begins writing scripture. Every embrace becomes a sentence. Every absence becomes a definition. Every inconsistency becomes a prophecy. Long before consciousness asks, “Who am I?” survival has already answered, “Become whoever keeps you connected.” Need performs a miracle. It keeps the infant alive. Then, unnoticed, the miracle becomes a monarchy. The architecture that once served survival quietly begins governing identity. Self-worth becomes negotiated. Love becomes verified. Presence becomes performance. Effort becomes evidence. The first environment does not merely teach relationship. It teaches consciousness how to interrupt itself. Perhaps this explains why so many adults call it discernment while living almost entirely inside inherited conclusions. They believe they are evaluating another human being, yet every act of vetting first passes through an invisible inheritance that predates memory itself. The Mother Room has already translated reality before reality has been allowed to speak. Perhaps every wisdom tradition has been circling this same mystery from different horizons. Jung asked whether we remain possessed by what we refuse to see. Krishnamurti questioned whether observation can exist before conclusion. The Dao refuses to force the river because the river never forgot how to become the ocean. Wu wei suggests that life's deepest intelligence appears when compulsion releases its grip. Attachment theory describes the earliest architecture through which safety becomes internalized. Different languages. One investigation. What keeps consciousness from participating in life before it organizes life into something familiar? Relationship therefore becomes something far more unsettling than romance. It becomes the only place where the architecture protecting yesterday collides with the life attempting to arrive today. Every demand for proof. Every craving for reassurance. Every fear of abandonment. Every insistence that love continually demonstrate itself. Each may represent a single movement wearing different disguises: the original pattern asking existence to obey the laws that once made survival possible. Then letting and vetting cease to describe dating strategies. They describe two civilizations living inside one psyche. One civilization believes love must first be secured before it can be trusted. The other discovers that love does not arrive through control, but through participation. Perhaps the greatest relationship never begins between two people. Perhaps it begins the moment consciousness withdraws its unconscious allegiance from yesterday's survival and allows today's embodiment to complete a sentence that fear has interrupted since childhood. Not because love finally arrived. Because the interruption finally departed. CORE PREMISE Every river already knows where it is going. Only the banks believe they are directing the water. Human consciousness appears to carry a similar misunderstanding. Nearly every moment becomes an attempt to negotiate with reality. Accelerate this. Delay that. Keep this. Prevent that. Predict them. Manage uncertainty. Control outcomes. Even love quietly becomes another engineering project. An invisible assumption governs nearly every decision: Life requires my management before it can be trusted. Yet every wisdom tradition eventually arrives at an altogether different possibility. The deepest intelligence may never emerge through greater control. It may emerge only after control exhausts itself. Relationship therefore presents one of the most demanding laboratories a human being will ever enter. Two conditioned identities arrive carrying thousands of conclusions about safety, intimacy, commitment, conflict, masculinity, femininity, trust, abandonment, betrayal, desire, permanence, and love. Each attempts to organize reality around those conclusions. Very little is actually allowed to reveal itself. Perhaps this explains why so much energy becomes invested in determining whether another person deserves entry into our life while almost no attention is given to whether life itself has been allowed to introduce us to ourselves. Vetting asks: “How do I determine whether this person fits the architecture I already possess?” Letting asks: “What architecture within me keeps interrupting reality before reality finishes speaking?” That second question is profoundly Daoist. Because Daoism does not begin with controlling the current. It begins with noticing that the current was already moving before you arrived.

What if the face you call “me” is only the mask God wears while experiencing limitation? Carl Jung warned that the persona can become so convincing that consciousness forgets the deeper Self beneath it. Paramahansa Yogananda described the human being as a wave of the divine ocean, carrying the nature of the source while mistaking temporary form for separate existence. Krishnamurti exposed the prison of psychological identification. Bernardo Kastrup asks whether mind may be more fundamental than matter. Place those pressures together and a terrifying possibility appears. Humanity may not merely contain divine fragments. Humanity may be the countless faces through which one consciousness enters history, culture, race, memory, wound, desire, and death. The ego names the face, defends the face, and demands that the face remain. Childhood becomes the potter's hand. Attachment hardens the clay. Identity calls the shape eternal. Then what is the devil? Could the devil be the force that convinces the wave it exists apart from the ocean? Could hell be the psychic and metaphysical territory created by everything the sacred mask refuses to own? Could possession, clinging, projection, domination, and resistance to reality be the instruments that keep divine consciousness trapped inside a temporary identity? And what happens in relationship when one mask cannot see the divine behind another? The partner becomes mother, father, rescuer, betrayer, possession, or enemy. The present becomes a courtroom for childhood. Love becomes a demand that another person protect the identity we are afraid to question. This inquiry does not ask whether you believe in God or the devil. It asks whether your identity has become the god you serve, whether your shadow has become the hell you export, and whether self-realization begins when the mask finally recognizes the face beneath every face, including whoever you were taught to hate.

Send me a messageWe are all going to die. While that sounds scary, it's actually the most freeing realization you can ever have.In this podcast, I explore why the pressure we put on ourselves—to be perfect, to fulfill a grand scheme, or to live forever—is the root of all stress. When we finally accept our inevitable demise, we loosen the bonds of attachment and free ourselves to "live big," take risks, and cherish every single moment.What you'll learn:- Why "dying before you die" is the ultimate practice for peace.- How to transition from worrying about dying to getting busy living.- The nature of consciousness: why the essence of who you are is eternal and changeless.- Practical ways to use the reminder of impermanence to love more deeply.Don't spend "recess" sitting on the sidelines because it's short. Get out there, hit the swings, and enjoy the dance of life.#mindfulness #spiritualawakening #innerpeace #meditation #perelsofwisdom #livingfully #philosophy Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Send me a messageWe often spend our lives worrying about our legacy and wondering who will be there to remember us when we're gone. But what if we're missing the entire point of being alive?In this podcast, Todd Perelmuter explores why our egoic desire for importance after death actually causes us to suffer in the present. Drawing from the truth that we are inseparable from the universe, we look at why the most loving thing you can do is to embrace being forgotten.In this episode, we discuss:- Why worrying about your funeral keeps you from being loving today.- The illusion of separation: Why there is no boundary between you and the universe.- Finding your "real purpose" in the simple acts of living, growing, and loving.- How to face the great unknown and the next "great adventure" without fear.The way we live is the way we die. If we live to get people to our funeral, we aren't truly living. It's time to let go of the future and embrace the incredible gift of the "now."#legacy #spirituality #innerpeace #mindfulness #philosophy #toddperelmuterPlease enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Send me a messageDo you feel like you're constantly rushing through life?In this podcast, we explore why our fast-paced mentalities — not our actual lives — are making us miserable. We often treat our daily responsibilities like hurdles to get over, rather than doorways to the present moment.What you'll learn:- How to shift from a "have to" to a "get to" mindset.- Why "wanting" your reality is the key to ending suffering.- 3 practical ways to slow down your thoughts and find inner stillness.- Why meditation creates spaciousness in even the busiest day.Slowing down isn't about doing less; it's about doing what you do more fully. When we slow our thinking, we naturally reduce anxiety and invite true peace into our lives.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Every marriage begins with the same illusion. Two people stand before God, family, friends, and the state believing they are making the same promises, entering the same covenant, accepting the same responsibilities, and assuming the same risks. But what if they aren't? What if one of the country's most respected divorce attorneys has identified something almost nobody investigates? He argues that marriage may be the only contract where both people make promises, yet only certain promises remain legally enforceable after the relationship dies. In the traditional heterosexual marriage, those enforceable obligations have historically fallen most often upon the husband because he has more frequently occupied the provider role. The law cannot order love. It cannot compel desire. It cannot restore admiration. It cannot manufacture respect. It cannot sentence affection. But it can enforce financial obligations with the authority of the state. If that observation contains even a fragment of truth, then every uncomfortable question suddenly becomes unavoidable. Did two people actually enter the same contract? Or did they unknowingly enter two different agreements hidden beneath one wedding ceremony? If modern family law is written in gender-neutral language, why do so many men experience its consequences as gender-specific? Is the law producing unequal outcomes, or is the culture still producing unequal roles that the law merely inherits? Who authored these rules of engagement? Religion? Common law? Economics? Chivalry? Or an unexamined cultural assumption that men exist to remain responsible while women exist to remain protected? Then another possibility enters the courtroom. Suppose the legal system is not exposing the first fracture in the marriage. Suppose it is exposing the last. Krishnamurti questioned whether husbands and wives ever truly encounter one another, or merely the images they construct. Thomas Campbell suggests that images require continual maintenance because fear, ego, and unhealed wounds generate psychological entropy. If two people unknowingly married images instead of one another, perhaps the courtroom is not where the marriage failed. Perhaps it is where the hidden architecture of the marriage finally becomes visible. Tonight's investigation is neither pro-marriage nor anti-marriage. It is far more dangerous than that. If marriage sells mutual vows but enforces only certain measurable obligations, and if those obligations still tend to attach to the male provider role in heterosexual relationships, are men entering a romantic covenant…or a gendered liability structure dressed in sacred language?

Send me a messageHave you ever felt the overwhelming urge to leave it all behind — your job, your marriage, your city? We often think happiness is just one move away, but what if the "prison" isn't the place you're in, but the patterns of your own mind?In this deep reflection, Todd Perelmuter explores the "sadness illusion": the belief that changing our external circumstances will fix our internal struggles. Drawing from his own journey from traveling the world to finding peace in a small town, Todd reveals why we endlessly chase dopamine through travel and "newness," and how to instead find a blissful, meditative presence exactly where you are.In this podcast, we discuss:- The "Honeymoon Period" and why it always fades unless you find it within first.- The truth about midlife crises and searching for fulfillment in "empty things."- The power of sacrifice and finding the "life within" yourself.- How to reignite your zest for life without changing your zip code.If you feel "dead inside" or are staying in a situation purely out of obligation, this message is a gift to help you stop wandering and start living.#Spirituality #Mindfulness #MidlifeCrisis #PeaceWithin #MentalHealthPlease enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Nous faisons confiance à la pensée pour résoudre nos problèmes — personnels, sociaux, existentiels. Mais Krishnamurti pose une question radicale : comment la pensée pourrait-elle résoudre ce qu'elle a elle-même créé ? Seul un mental vraiment silencieux, qui regarde sans analyser ni juger, peut voir la totalité d'un problème — et c'est dans ce silence que naît l'amour, seule vraie solution. Bibliographie:_ "La première et la dernière liberté", discours de Jiddu Krishnamurti, éditions Le Livre de Poche. Musique: Ethereal Ephemera (https://etherealephemera.bandcamp.com/album/the-eternal-music-box) Narration et réalisation: Bruno Léger Production: Les mécènes du Vieux Sage Puisse la parole des maîtres toucher un nombre infinis de coeurs.Puissent tous les êtres, visibles et invisibles, proches et lointains, humains et non humains être libérés et heureux. OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.

Ep. 233 | In the last episode of the Path of Love Series with A. H. Almaas, Hameed explores the themes he introduced in the later chapters of his new book, The Inner Beloved. Hameed clarifies the role of mind on the path of heart (the mind is bedazzled and awed; the heart open), and details what happens when we reach the beloved, like “falling in love with everything” and experiencing the absolute as a “coming home” (even though there's no one there!). We learn that, on the path of love, no matter what we do or don't do, a heart-driven force beyond the mind is pulling us onward. Once we arrive, we realize the beloved has always been there—which is why our heart has been longing for the beloved all along.Hameed explains that on the path of love, nonduality becomes intimacy—reality itself is pure intimacy, he says—and in fact, the nonbeingness of the beloved is the ultimate truth of reality. In a state of mystical poverty, we discover that all we are and have ever been has been borrowed from the beloved. The culmination of this Path of Love Series ends very beautifully, the love and intimacy of the beloved pervading Hameed's words and the images he conjures for us. “The world is simply the luminosity of the beloved,” Hameed says. In listening to him, we share in some of the wonderful sense of coming home he experienced, a little of the radiant luminosity, too, and his own ongoing excitement over the ever unfolding mystery of the divine. Recorded April 9, 2026.“We can be in the lap of the beloved and still enjoy life—loving everything from that place.”Topics & Time StampsIntroducing the 4th dialogue in the Path of Love Series with A.

Anne Ghesquière reçoit Claire Dufour, traductrice des écrits de Krishnamurti. Comment un enfant pressenti pour devenir un guide spirituel a-t-il finalement rejeté toute autorité pour inviter chacun à trouver sa propre vérité ? Pourquoi notre esprit, conditionné par la mémoire, nous empêche-t-il de voir le réel tel qu'il est ? Et si la transformation ne relevait pas d'un savoir mais d'un regard neuf ? À travers la biographie de Pupul Jayakar, enrichie en 2022, Claire Dufour nous plonge dans la vie de ce penseur radical. Elle partage des clés pour observer sans juger, comprendre la pensée, traverser la peur et s'ouvrir à une liberté intérieure profonde. Krishnamurti, une vie, est publié aux Presses du Châtelet.

(01:44) Deze zondag mogen de Hongaren naar de stembus, en verrassend genoeg staat Viktor Orbán niet aan kop. De Minister-president van Hongarije verscheen in 1989 ten tonele als jonge oppositieleider, die tegen de Sovjets in pleitte voor nationale onafhankelijkheid. Ruim drie decennia later lijkt diezelfde erfenis hem in te halen, nu demonstranten zijn eigen woorden tegen hem gebruiken en zijn relatie met Rusland onder een vergrootglas ligt. Wordt dit het einde van Orbán? Cultuurhistoricus Krisztina Lajosi-Moore belt in vanuit Boedapest, historicus Marijn Kruk schuift aan in de studio.  (17:03) Hij begon als een leider die wilde dat de wereld Rusland serieus nam, en eindigde met een oorlogsverklaring aan het Westen, gewapend met tsarenmythen en orthodoxe symboliek. Beatrice de Graaf, hoogleraar Geschiedenis van de Internationale Betrekkingen in Utrecht, en Niels Drost, Rusland-analist bij Clingendael, zagen hoe Poetin vanaf 2000 steeds radicaler werd. Ze zijn te gast met hun nieuwe boek Poetins tsaristische droom – Geschiedenis als wapen in de Russische politiek.  (33:40) Je hebt Mekka, Jeruzalem, Rome en… Ommen. Vanaf zo'n honderd jaar geleden kwamen hier duizenden theosofen en esoterici tezamen voor de jaarlijkse Sterkampen, om daar te luisteren naar hun nieuwe wereldleider: Krishnamurti. Hoe kwam deze Goeroe in Ommen terecht, en hoe was het voor de Ommenaren om opeens in een bedevaartsoord te wonen? Na jaren onderzoek schreef Rick Nieman het boek De goeroe en de baron, en over die zoektocht maakte zijn partner Sacha de Boer een podcast. Beide journalisten zijn bij ons te gast.  (47:36) Elke week bespreken we historische tips met afwisselend Nadia Bouras, Wim Berkelaar, Bart Funnekotter, Sanne Frequin, en Fresco Sam-Sin. Deze week is de beurt aan Nadia Bouras. Zij bespreekt twee boeken en een podcast:  * Het Rode Noorden (https://npo.nl/luister/podcasts/1373-het-rode-noorden) - Kim van den Bergh * Grenzend aan liefde - Karin Amatmoekrim * Yalla - Hasna El Maroudi (59:32) Slechts één gehaktbal per week: de vernieuwde Schijf van Vijf is strenger dan ooit. Maar het land laten eten wat het moet, blijkt al sinds 1953 een vergezicht. Voedselhistoricus Jon Verriet onderzocht de geschiedenis van het Voedingscentrum en is bij ons te gast.   (01:08:48) OVT Doc: De belofte van het zout  Dat er kolenmijnen in Limburg waren en dat er gas in de grond in Groningen zit, dat weten we. Maar dat er in Nederland ook zout wordt gewonnen, is veel minder bekend. Toch gebeurt dat al sinds vlak na de Eerste Wereldoorlog in Twente en sinds de jaren vijftig ook in Oost-Groningen.    En daar, in Oost-Groningen, ligt die zoutwinning nu onder vuur. De provincie voert een rechtszaak en bewoners komen in verzet. En dat terwijl de vondst van zout in de naoorlogse periode werd gezien als dé oplossing voor de armoede en achterstand van het gebied. Zout was namelijk het witte goud.   Katinka Baehr en Jille Smilda maakten een documentaire over de zoutgeschiedenis van Oost-Groningen. Met Martijn Folkers van RTV Noord, die al jaren in het zoutdossier zit, praten we na de documentaire verder over wat er nu speelt.   Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-12-april-2026  (https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-12-april-2026 )

It comes from attachment to what was never meant to last. This podcast episode is about how to let go of old identities, stop clinging to impermanent roles, and rediscover the deeper self that remains when everything else changes.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Jiddu Krishnamurti challenged one of humanity's deepest assumptions—that wisdom must come from teachers, traditions, or systems. Instead, he argued that genuine understanding begins with self-observation and choiceless awareness.   In this short slide set, I summarize the life and ideas of Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986)—the thinker who famously declared: "Truth is a pathless land."  

Reed and I explore what freedom actually is and why you'll never find it in the material world. We go deep on one of the most misunderstood ideas in philosophy and mindfulness: freedom. We explore: Why changing your job, your city, or your relationships never solves the underlying feeling of "not okay-ness". How our emotions and reactions are shaped entirely by belief systems we don't chose. The difference between freedom from external circumstances vs. the freedom found in pure awareness. Why letting go of the ego feels like death, and why that's the point. The Starbucks line metaphor: how a stranger can "ruin your day" and what that really means about your inner state. Krishnamurti, Anthony de Mello, and the idea that true freedom lives in seeing, not doing. If you've ever felt like you're still solving the same problems no matter how much your life changes, this one's for you.

Feeling stuck is one of the most common human experiences.But what if the problem isn't your job, your city, your relationship… or your circumstances?In this podcast, we explore why change doesn't always create freedom — and how the mind can quietly trap us in the same patterns no matter where we go.There is a way out.And it starts somewhere unexpected.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

What if the feeling of making a choice is itself just another conditioned response? In this conversation, Adam and Reed explore two of the most penetrating voices in non-dual philosophy — Nisargadatta Maharaj and J. Krishnamurti — and what they point to about the nature of freedom, conditioning, and the self that believes it is choosing. We unpack Nisargadatta's radical claim that he is neither the painter nor the painting, and Krishnamurti's unsettling observation that where there is choice, there is no freedom. What emerges is a conversation about whether the "sense of me" is anything more than a protective contraction...and what remains when you stop believing you are the one doing any of this. Topics explored: Nisargadatta Maharaj's "I Am That" and the nature of pure awareness. Krishnamurti's choiceless awareness and the prison of conditioning. The illusion of free will and what freedom actually looks like. The "sense of me" as a felt contraction rather than a solid self. Competing belief systems as the root of suffering. What it means to trust something beyond the thinking mind. If you found this through gaming ,or just stumbled in, welcome! www.InsideTheMindsEye.com

Is the "me" you experience every day an actual entity, or just a reflection of your conditioned experience? In this episode, Adam is joined by Reed to explore the "Sense of Me" in relation to awareness itself. Reed shares his journey from "dropping everything" and attempting biblical literal-ism to returning to these questions with a fresh, untainted perspective. Key Topics Covered: Signposts of Thought: How belief systems and conceptual frameworks carve the shape of our thoughts. Spiritual Integration: Why "fireworks and rocket ships" are less common than a slow, gradual ground of being. The Teacher Trap: A candid look at Jiddu Krishnamurti, the "entertainment" of spiritual teachings, and the Jim Newman vs. Sam Harris debate. Identity & Personas: Reed's "master plan" to launch his music project, Numinal, by playing with the concept of fame and projection. At the heart of the conversation is a direct question: Can you actually find the “me,” or is it just a movement of thought? This dialogue touches on non-duality, Krishnamurti, Advaita, Zen, and the lived experience of awareness. www.InsideTheMindsEye.com

What is the meaning of life?For tens of thousands of years, humans have looked to the skies and wondered about these questions. And yet, after all that time, we're no closer to an answer. However, one key phrase keeps getting passed down: Know thyself.But what does it mean to know ourselves? Isn't who we are obvious? And how can we get to know ourselves?In this podcast, available as a video on YouTube, I share what it means to be human, why we got disconnected from our true selves, how to find our way back, and how to tap into the answers and powers within ourselves so we can stop wondering and start knowing.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.
