The Awareness Podcast
Welcome to The Awareness Podcast, a place where we discuss integrating spiritual awakening in everyday life. Every week, one of our 4 hosts, Bill Free, Jackie Greggs, Cyndi Krupp and Susan Telford will bring you interviews and teachings from teachers at the cutting edge of spiritual evolution. Listen as they discuss their newest insights and offer practices to help us all remove the obstacles to Self-realization, inner peace and happiness.
What if peace isn't something you have to achieve?
What if the constant pressure to become more, fix yourself, heal faster, or finally "arrive" has been pointing in the wrong direction all along?
In this gentle guided meditation, Jody Agard invites you to step out of the endless cycle of doing and rediscover the quiet Being that has always been here. Through spacious silence, gentle self-inquiry, and the direct recognition of I AM, you'll be guided beyond thought, memory, and identity into the changeless presence that is your true nature.
Rather than trying to become peaceful, this non-dual guided meditation gently points to the simple truth that peace is what you are.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, constantly busy, searching for healing, or simply longing for deeper peace, this meditation offers a compassionate invitation to stop striving and rest as what has always been here.
You don't have to become your true nature.
You already are.
✨ Another Way to Go Deeper...
Sometimes the deepest spiritual truths reveal themselves in a new light through different voices. In this unique four-part series, AWAKENING THROUGH THE DIRECT PATH + A COURSE IN MIRACLES, host Bill Free welcomes Lisa Natoli, Oliver Blue, Jon Mundy, and Keith Kavanagh — each sharing their own distinctive approach to the timeless principles at the heart of awakening and how they naturally come alive in everyday life. Through inspiring teachings, meaningful dialogue, and wisdom born of lived experience, you'll gain practical tools for meeting life's challenges with greater clarity, peace, and freedom.

Have you ever noticed how quickly the mind begins searching?
Searching for answers.
Searching for certainty.
Searching for the next thing to accomplish.
Searching for the version of life that promises peace.
In this gentle guided meditation, Jody Agard shares a simple moment from an ordinary Sunday that became a profound reminder of something we often overlook: while thoughts, emotions, plans, and circumstances are constantly changing, there is an alive stillness within us that never moves.
Through gentle self-inquiry and spacious silence, this non-dual guided meditation invites you to step out of the endless search and rest as the peaceful presence that has always been here.
Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, a busy schedule, emotional overwhelm, or simply a mind that never seems to stop planning, this meditation offers an invitation to discover that what you've been seeking has never been missing.
The search can relax.
The planning can soften.
The stillness has always been here.

When physical symptoms arise, the mind often rushes to create a story, about what's wrong, what needs to be fixed, and how life should be different.
In this gentle guided meditation, Jody Agard invites you to discover a radically different approach to healing. Rather than resisting discomfort or trying to become a better version of yourself, you'll be guided to rest as the timeless awareness that remains untouched by every sensation, symptom, thought, and emotion.
Drawing from non-dual wisdom, self-inquiry, and the recognition of I AM, this meditation offers a peaceful space to meet physical pain, chronic illness, stress, anxiety, fatigue, and emotional discomfort with openness instead of resistance.
Whether you're navigating chronic pain, illness, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, grief, or simply the challenges of everyday life, this meditation is an invitation to remember that what you truly are has never been harmed.
Healing isn't becoming someone new.
It's recognizing what has always been here.

What if healing wasn't about fixing your thoughts, changing your emotions, or solving every problem in your life?
In this gentle guided meditation, Jody Agard invites you into the quiet resting place that is already here, the aware presence that remains untouched by thoughts, emotions, discomfort, and changing circumstances.
From a non-dual perspective, suffering isn't caused by experience itself, but by identifying with the stories the mind creates around experience.
Together, we'll gently step back from the impulse to become the one who is struggling and instead rest as the silent awareness in which every thought, sensation, and emotion naturally appears and disappears.
Throughout this meditation you'll be guided to recognize:
- The quiet awareness that remains unchanged beneath every experience
- Why healing isn't fixing the mind or body, but recognizing your true nature
- A simple non-dual approach to inner peace, self-inquiry, and awakening
Whether you're experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, physical discomfort, grief, or simply the busyness of everyday life, this meditation offers an invitation to discover the stillness that has always been here.
You are not the story, or the suffering.
You are the resting place in which it all appears.

What if true healing wasn't about changing your circumstances?
What if peace wasn't dependent on the body feeling better?
In this deeply restorative guided meditation, Jody Agard reflects on a season of physical pain and healing, revealing a profound truth remembered in the midst of discomfort:
The body changes.
Thoughts change.
Emotions change.
But the light of what you are never changes.
Through gentle self-inquiry, non-dual meditation, and extended moments of silence, you'll be invited to rest as the awareness that remains present before every thought, every sensation, and every story the mind tells.
Whether you're navigating illness, chronic pain, emotional suffering, anxiety, grief, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's circumstances, this meditation offers an invitation to recognize what has always been here: The Light of What You Are.
Whole.
Complete.
Present.
Unchanged.
Nothing needs to be added.
Nothing needs to be earned.
Only recognized.
✨ Another way to go deeper…
Beneath the noise of the mind, beneath the striving to become someone better, there is a deeper sense of peace and well-being that doesn't depend on circumstances. In her new 4-part series, “Here I Am: The Joy of Being Present,” Lisa Natoli guides a direct exploration into the end of inner struggle and the freedom that comes from no longer believing every story the mind tells.
As the pressure to fix, change, and improve yourself begins to soften, what remains is a grounded steadiness, a natural happiness, and a way of living that feels more present, more alive, and more at ease...

In this guided meditation, Jody Agard reflects on a recent experience with shingles and the profound reminder it offered:
True peace is not the absence of pain, discomfort, uncertainty, or challenge.
True peace is what remains regardless of circumstances.
While the body may experience illness, discomfort, exhaustion, or healing, there is something deeper that remains completely untouched by every experience. Through gentle self-inquiry, spacious silence, and direct non-dual pointing, this meditation invites you to rest as the awareness that knows all experience but is never harmed by it.
This meditation is especially supportive if you're moving through illness, physical discomfort, grief, emotional challenges, anxiety, uncertainty, or a difficult season of life.
As A Course in Miracles reminds us, what you truly are remains exactly as God created you:
Whole.
Complete.
Perfectly innocent.
Untouched.
You are simply invited to notice what has always been present.

In this guided meditation, Jody Agard invites you to explore one of the mind's most persistent habits: the belief that something is wrong and needs to be fixed.
Whether the mind is focused on health, relationships, finances, emotions, spiritual growth, or the body itself, there is often a constant movement toward improvement, correction, and becoming.
But what if that movement is simply another appearance within awareness?
Through gentle self-inquiry, spacious silence, and direct non-dual pointing, this meditation invites you to notice the awareness that exists before the story, before the struggle, and before the need to change anything.
This meditation is especially supportive if you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted by self-improvement, caught in mental activity, or longing for a deeper sense of peace that isn't dependent on circumstances changing.
There is only the invitation to rest as what you already are.

In this guided non-dual meditation, Jody Agard invites you into a direct experience of effortless being.
From the breath that breathes itself to the heart that beats without instruction, this meditation gently points to a profound truth: life is already living itself.
Rather than trying to quiet the mind, fix your experience, or become a better version of yourself, you'll be invited to simply notice what is already happening naturally, and to rest as the awareness in which it all appears.
Healing is not presented here as fixing a broken self.
Instead, healing is revealed as recognizing the wholeness that already exists beneath the stories, fears, and identities we carry.
As thoughts come and go, sensations arise and dissolve, and life continues to unfold, you'll be invited to rest as the open awareness that remains untouched by every experience.
There is nothing to achieve.
Nothing to become.
Only the simple recognition of what you already are.

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard sits down with spiritual teacher Oliver Blue for a profound conversation about perception, identity, and the choice between love and fear.
While most of us spend our lives trying to solve problems in our relationships, health, finances, and circumstances, Oliver invites us to look deeper, to the lens through which we're experiencing life itself.
Together, Jody and Oliver explore how fear becomes mistaken for identity, why so many people unconsciously live from conditioned patterns, and how awakening begins when we recognize that fear is not who we are... a powerful message for anyone feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or stuck.
Oliver also shares insights from his upcoming two-part teaching series with the Center for Awakening: Love or Fear, The Choice Is Yours.
If you've ever felt trapped in worry, self-doubt, judgment, or the constant pressure to fix yourself, this conversation offers a fresh and liberating perspective.
Sometimes freedom isn't found by changing your circumstances.
Sometimes it begins by seeing through a different lens.
✨ An opportunity to continue the exploration with Oliver's teachings…
Every moment of life reflects a deeper choice — love or fear. In his new two-part live series, “LOVE OR FEAR, THE CHOICE IS YOURS,” Oliver Blue guides a powerful exploration into the two root perceptions that shape all experience. You’ll begin to recognize fear as a learned pattern — not who you are — and discover how to meet life with greater clarity, peace, and freedom. Because beneath every struggle, every story, and every moment of contraction… love has been present all along. The choice is simple. The experience is Infinite.

In this deeply grounding episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard sits down with bestselling author and spiritual teacher Alan Cohen for a heartfelt conversation about identity, awakening, peace, and the freedom that comes from no longer trying to hold together a false sense of self.
Together, they explore what Alan calls The Crucial Identity Shift — the movement from living through conditioning, pressure, and self-image… into a more authentic, peaceful, and spacious way of being.
This conversation gently points beyond striving, self-improvement, and spiritual efforting — and toward the recognition that what we truly are has never been broken or separate from peace.
In this episode, Jody and Alan explore:
- How conditioning shapes the false sense of self
- Why so many people feel exhausted trying to “be someone”
- The connection between suffering and identity
- Living from truth while fully participating in ordinary life
- Awakening in the middle of work, parenting, relationships, and responsibility
- Why joy, gentleness, and lightness matter on the spiritual path
- The subtle trap of turning spirituality into self-improvement
- Letting go of striving and relaxing into what has always been here
Alan also shares insights from his upcoming two-part teaching series with the Center for Awakening, The Crucial Identity Shift, beginning June 8th.
Rather than trying to become someone new, this conversation invites you to remember what has always been true beneath the noise, pressure, and conditioning.
What if the struggle you’ve carried isn’t actually who you are? What if beneath the roles and expectations placed upon you… there remains something untouched, whole, and waiting to be remembered?
In his new two-part series, Alan Cohen guides a compassionate yet profound return back to the truth of who you’ve always been. Through practical insight and grounded spiritual guidance, you’ll explore how to live from that deeper identity in everyday life — navigating challenges with greater clarity, peace, and presence. As this deeper identity becomes more embodied, even ordinary moments begin to feel different. This series offers a practical path for bringing spiritual truth fully into daily living.

“This shouldn’t be happening.”
It’s one of the mind’s most automatic reactions.
To stress.
To noise.
To discomfort.
To unexpected moments life places in front of us.
In this episode of the Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard gently explores what happens when we stop resisting what’s arising… and begin noticing the deeper peace that remains underneath the reaction.
This guided meditation becomes an invitation to let everything arise naturally; the thoughts, emotions, sensations, resistance, even the sense of “me”, without needing to fix, suppress, or control any of it.
This meditation may support you if you’re experiencing:
- Overthinking
- Emotional overwhelm
- Stress or anxiety
- Frustration with life circumstances
- Mental noise or racing thoughts
- Resistance to what’s happening
- Spiritual awakening or self-inquiry
- A longing for deeper peace and acceptance
This isn’t about becoming emotionless. It’s about recognizing that what you truly are remains untouched beneath every passing experience.

In this special bonus episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard sits down with Lisa Natoli for a heartfelt conversation about the transformational journey of the 40-Day Program — a FREE, community-based experience rooted in the teachings of A Course in Miracles, healing, inner peace, and awakening to our true nature.
Together, Jody and Lisa explore what makes this journey so powerful and why the 40-Day experience is less about adding more to yourself… and more about gently undoing the layers of fear, struggle, old stories, and false identification that keep us feeling separate from peace.
In this conversation, they discuss:
- Why true transformation comes through embodiment, not just information
- The gentle “undoing” that naturally unfolds during the 40-Day journey
- Releasing old beliefs, emotional patterns, and limiting stories
- Finding peace in the middle of external chaos and uncertainty
- Why this work feels deeply supportive during difficult seasons of life
- The power of community, consistency, and daily practice
- What participants can expect throughout the 40 days
Whether you’re brand new to this work or returning again to deepen your experience, this episode offers a beautiful introduction to the spirit and intention behind the 40-Day Program.
The 40-Day Program for Transformation with Lisa Natoli is a free guided journey designed to support healing, inner peace, self-inquiry, and a direct experience of the truth of what you are. And yes — it’s completely FREE.
Begins on June 10th, 2026 — registration will remain open through June 14th.

In this deeply grounding episode, Jody Agard guides you through a gentle guided meditation for surrender, emotional healing, and true inner peace.
Life can sometimes feel heavy.
There are transitions, change, and plenty of uncertainty.
Trying to hold everything together.
And yet beneath all of it… there is something here that does not move.
This meditation is an invitation to notice any resistance to what’s arising and gently rest as the awareness that is already whole, already present, and already at peace.
In this meditation, you’ll be guided to:
- Release the pressure to control or fix life
- Allow thoughts and emotions without resistance
- Explore the difference between awareness and experience
- Gently inquire, “Who am I without the story?”
- Rest in the unchanging presence beneath fear, sadness, and uncertainty
- Experience surrender as openness rather than defeat
This is the heart of non-dual meditation,
not escaping life, but recognizing the peace that is your true nature and that which remains untouched in the middle of it.
This meditation is especially supportive if you are:
- Moving through change or transition
- Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or heavy
- Supporting someone you love through difficulty
- Struggling with fear, uncertainty, or helplessness
- Longing for peace that isn’t dependent on circumstances
You don’t need to “become” peaceful.
You are the presence in which peace already exists.
And you are already home.

Reconnect with inner peace through this deeply calming guided meditation into pure presence and awareness with Jody Agard.
So many of us move through life believing something is wrong with us.
That we need to heal more.
Fix more.
Improve more.
Become someone better.
But what if the deepest healing comes not through effort…
but through recognizing what has always been whole?
This guided meditation is a gentle invitation to release the constant inner fixing and rest as the pure awareness that exists before thought, before identity, and before the story of “me.”
In this meditation, you’ll be guided to:
- Let go of the pressure to heal or improve yourself
- Notice thoughts and emotions without identifying with them
- Rest in the quiet presence of “I Am”
- Experience awareness beyond the body-mind
- Allow fear, discomfort, and emotions without resistance
- Recognize the stillness that remains untouched beneath all experience
Thoughts may come and go. Sensations may rise and fall.
But what you truly are remains unchanged.
This meditation is especially supportive if you:
- Feel emotionally exhausted from constantly “working on yourself”
- Struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, or self-judgment
- Long for a deeper sense of peace and wholeness
- Are exploring awareness, awakening, or non-duality

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard guides you through a 30-minute guided meditation designed to help you discover something unexpected:
Stillness isn’t found away from life… it’s found within it.
So often, we believe peace requires silence, space, or stepping away from the noise of everyday life. But what if the stillness you’re seeking has never been disturbed?
In this meditation, you’ll be gently guided to:
- Notice the presence that exists before thought
- Recognize the silence that remains even when the mind is active
- Release the need to “get meditation right”
- Rest as the awareness, the eternal I AM that is already here
- Experience peace without needing to change your circumstances
This is the essence of non-dual meditation, by simply discovering that what you are is never touched by the noise.
Thoughts may come and go. Sounds may rise and fall. Life continues moving.
And yet… something here remains still.
This meditation is especially supportive if you:
- Feel overwhelmed by a busy or noisy mind
- Think you need perfect conditions to feel peace
- Struggle to “quiet” your thoughts in meditation
- Want a more natural, effortless way to experience presence
You are the stillness that holds it all.
✨ Another way to go deeper…
What if every desire you’ve ever had — for love, for peace, for something you couldn’t quite name — has been pointing to the simple recognition of I AM… that Eternal, ever-present awareness within… the very ground of being itself? Not something to find. Not a future state. Not a higher level… but what’s here now.
In his new four-part series, “Remembering the Self: I AM the I AM,’” Bill Free offers a clear and practical exploration of this awareness — and how to live from it in the midst of everyday life. That recognition is possible. Not someday. Now.

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard guides you through a gentle guided meditation for overthinking and a busy mind.
When life feels full; responsibilities, decisions, constant movement… the mind seems to become more active with planning, remembering, problem-solving, replaying conversations, or thinking about what’s next.
It can feel like the mind never stops.
But what if the thoughts aren’t the problem?
What if something deeper… is already still?
In this meditation, you’re invited to:
- Notice the natural movement of the mind
- Recognize the awareness that is always present
- Rest as the simple sense of “I Am”
- Experience stillness without effort or control
This is the heart of non-dual meditation. It’s not about trying to quiet the mind, but discovering that you are not the mind.
Thoughts can continue.
Life continues.
But something here… does not move.

What if every desire you’ve ever had — for love, for peace, for something you couldn’t quite name — has been pointing to the simple recognition of I AM… that Eternal, ever-present awareness within… the very ground of being itself? Not something to find. Not a future state. Not a higher level… but what’s here now.
In his new four-part series, “Remembering the Self: I AM the I AM,’” Bill Free offers a clear and practical exploration of this awareness — and how to live from it in the midst of everyday life. That recognition is possible. Not someday. Now.

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard offers a deeply compassionate guided meditation for grief, rooted in non-dual understanding.
Grief is something every human being encounters. It may come through the loss of a loved one, a change in a relationship, or the quiet ache of something that once was. And when grief arises, the natural impulse is to understand it, fix it, or move through it.
But what if grief doesn’t need to be solved?
What if it can be gently held… in something much larger?
Through soft guidance and spacious pauses, this meditation invites you to:
- Allow grief and emotion to be present without resistance
- Notice sensations, memories, and feelings as they arise
- Explore the awareness that knows grief
- Recognize the quiet presence that remains unchanged
- Rest as the space that holds all experience
This is the essence of non-dual meditation, not removing emotion, but recognizing that what you are is never limited by it.
Grief may move.
Tears may come and go.
Memories may arise.
And yet…
There is something here that does not move.
The same presence that has always been here.
This episode is a gentle invitation to rest as that — the open, loving awareness in which grief appears… and is held.

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody is joined by Bill Free, co-founder of the Center for Awakening.
Together, they explore a deeper understanding of desire and how it can become a doorway to recognizing the Self.
Many of us spend years chasing fulfillment through relationships, achievements, or experiences… only to find that something still feels incomplete.
In this conversation, Bill points to what’s actually being sought beneath all desire and how that recognition changes everything.

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard offers a calming guided meditation rooted in non-dual understanding, helping you discover the stillness that is already present, even when the mind feels busy or overwhelmed.
The world seems uncertain or loud and often, the instinct is to try to calm it… to fix it… to quiet the mind.
But stillness isn’t something we create, it’s already here, even in the middle of the swirl.
This episode is an invitation to rest as what you truly are, even in the midst of everything.

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard offers a gentle guided meditation rooted in non-dual understanding, inviting you to discover that the peace you’ve been seeking is already present.
So much of life can feel like a movement toward relief, trying to feel better, fix what’s uncomfortable, or become a more peaceful version of yourself.
But peace isn’t something you arrive at, it’s what you are… before the story of who you are begins.
Before memory.
Before identity.
Before the mind says, “This needs to change.”
Through spacious pauses, simple guidance, and quiet self-inquiry, this meditation creates space to notice the pure presence that is already here — aware of every thought, sensation, and experience.
This episode is an invitation to stop searching… and gently come home to the peace that has always been here.

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard offers a gentle guided meditation rooted in non-dual understanding, inviting you to explore the difference between what changes… and what remains.
From the moment we wake up, the mind begins to label experience:
“I feel tired.”
“I feel anxious.”
“I feel good.”
Moods shift.
Energy rises and falls.
Thoughts come and go.
And almost instantly, we take it personally.
But what if you are not your mood?
Through spacious pauses and simple guidance, this meditation opens a quiet space to notice that all experiences — emotions, sensations, and thoughts — are constantly moving. And yet something here is aware of it all. That awareness does not change.
Moods will come and go.
The body will feel different from moment to moment.
Life will continue to unfold.
But what you are…
remains unchanged.
This episode is an invitation to rest as that.

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard offers a simple guided meditation exploring the recognition of "I AM" — the awareness that is present before every thought, sensation, and experience.
So often the mind believes something needs to be achieved, understood, or improved in order to awaken. The personal self can make this recognition seem distant or difficult.
But what if nothing needs to be achieved?
Before the next thought about yourself…
Before the story of who you are…
There is the quiet knowing of I AM.
Rather than trying to create a special experience, this meditation simply opens space to notice what has never been absent.
The awareness that hears these words…
The awareness that knows each sensation…
The awareness in which thoughts appear and disappear…
That awareness is what you are.

In a world that feels constantly shifting, is there something about us that does not move at all?
In this episode of the Awareness Podcast, Jenny Beal joins Jody Agard to explore her upcoming four-part teaching series, The Imperturbable I Am — a deep inquiry into the unchangeable nature of our essential self.
While the world, the body, and the mind are in continual motion, Jenny points to something prior to all change — the awareness that knows experience but is not altered by it.
In this conversation, we explore:
- What “imperturbable” truly means
- The difference between the ever-changing body-mind and unchanging awareness
- Why disturbance belongs to the body-mind — not to what we truly are
- The body-mind as a kind of conditioned “AI system”
- Why awakening is more about undoing than acquiring knowledge
- The role of self-inquiry in dissolving false identification
- How fear and contraction arise as protective conditioning
- What happens after a glimpse of our true nature
- Why we are not confined to the boundaries of the body
Jenny beautifully describes the body-mind as something trained through experience — much like artificial intelligence — operating through conditioning and learned responses. But what we truly are is not the conditioned system. We are the awareness in which it appears.
Rather than adding new beliefs or spiritual concepts, this path is an undoing — a letting go of deeply held assumptions about who and what we are.
If you’ve had glimpses of clarity but still feel pulled back into identification with thought, emotion, or contraction, this conversation offers a steady and practical perspective.
Jenny’s four-part series, The Imperturbable I Am, begins April 6th.

About Jenny Beal:
Jenny discovered the peace, happiness and ease of being that is inherent in our true nature through the Direct Path teaching of Rupert Spira and Francis Lucille. She has a love of science and mathematics and sees science as a set of mathematical models which express the beauty of unfolding patterns of natural phenomena, not as ultimate truth. Jenny considers openness to examining and abandoning all belief systems to be the principal prerequisite for the understanding of our true nature. In Jenny’s view, the spiritual path has no beginning or end. Nor is there any distinction between spiritual life and life in the world. When asked a question, she temporarily becomes a teacher; otherwise, she remains a student and enjoyer of all that is.To learn more about Jenny & her teachings: universalquestions.com

What happens when the body is sick — and nothing in you resists it?
In this gentle, experiential meditation, Jody Agard guides you to explore the subtle habit of identifying with the body and its condition. When illness appears, it can seem personal, limiting, or unfair. But what if sickness is simply something happening within experience, not to what you are?
Drawing from A Course in Miracles and lived insight, Jody’s meditation invites you beyond the idea of being a fragile self who can be diminished by circumstance.
Jody shares through the simple example of being sick on her birthday, as she examines how story and meaning creates unnecessary suffering.
Sensation arises. Discomfort appears. The body does what bodies do.
And yet — what knows these experiences remains unchanged.
In this meditation, you’ll be guided to:
• Notice the habit of “I am this body”
• Rest as simple being — prior to role or condition
• Allow illness to be an appearance, not an identity
• Discover what does not age, improve, decline, or breathe
• Experience quiet stability even in physical discomfort
This is not about denying the body. It is about recognizing that what you are has never been limited by it and resting as what is not affected.

In this guided nondual meditation, Jody Agard invites you to rest as the peace that doesn’t come and go.
Many of us experience moments of clarity, stillness, or deep relief, only to feel like we’ve “lost” it when thoughts, emotions, or life circumstances shift.
But what if peace isn’t something that appears and disappears? What if it’s what you are, even when the mind is busy or the body feels unsettled?
Rather than trying to create a spiritual state, this practice invites you to notice the quiet presence that has always been here, the stillness that remains unchanged through every thought, sensation, and life circumstance.

Life can feel full — conversations, responsibilities, decisions, and constant movement pulling attention in every direction. In the midst of it all, the quiet stillness beneath experience can seem distant or forgotten.
Yet the awareness you truly are never leaves.

This session is simply an invitation to rest as the I AM presence that has always been here — before effort, before identity, and before any story about who you are.

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard offers a gentle, grounding non-dual meditation for anyone feeling caught in busyness, effort, or the constant pressure to do more.
In a culture that equates busyness with worth, success, and importance, stillness can feel uncomfortable — even threatening. Yet stillness isn’t something we need to create or earn. It’s what we are.
Through personal reflection and spacious guided meditation, Jody invites you to notice the quiet Presence that’s always been here — silently aware of every thought, task, and movement, yet never caught in any of it.

About Keith Kavanagh:
Though Keith first started reading A Course in Miracles thirty years ago, it was only after eight long years of a severe generalized anxiety disorder that he threw himself into the Course’s process of unbinding identity from thoughts and the meeting of the shadow of sin, guilt and fear in the mind with the Course’s forgiveness practice: undoing projections and bringing the unprotected shadow to non-judgmental Awareness, meeting emotion without story. The anxiety disorder fell away and, unexpectedly, there was an awakening from thought identification to a nondual, rather vaporous, world of incredible beauty.

Have you ever felt the quiet heaviness of being a “me” — the effort of holding together roles, stories, and identities that seem to define who you are?
In this deeply gentle nondual meditation, Jody Agard invites you into a simple yet profound exploration: what remains when the structure of “me” is no longer held in place.
Guided by a powerful inner image of a box — representing the personal self, its roles, labels, and memories — this meditation allows the walls of identity to soften and collapse naturally. There’s no force, no fixing, and no attempt to silence the mind. Thoughts may still arise. Sensations may still move. And yet, something vast, still, and untouched remains.
Through long, open pauses and effortless inquiry, you’re invited to:
- Notice the weight of personal identity without judgment
- Rest as the awareness in which thoughts and sensations appear
- Allow the story of “me” to quiet without resisting it
- Sense what remains when identity loosens
- Discover the stillness that cannot be moved by life’s motion
This is not about becoming someone new.
It’s about recognizing what was here before the box.
Before the stories.
Before the effort of being “someone.”
Let the box fall away.
And rest as what remains.

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard is joined by Keith Kavanagh, known for his uncompromising clarity and direct approach to A Course in Miracles and nondual awakening.
This isn’t a traditional interview. It’s a space to slow down, listen deeply, and let insight land — not as theory, but as lived recognition.
Together, Jody and Keith explore one of the most misunderstood teachings in spirituality: forgiveness.
Not forgiveness as something moral or personal — but forgiveness as ACIM points to it: a shift in purpose, a release of misidentification, and a willingness to stop fixing the dream and let truth reinterpret everything.
In this conversation, you’ll hear about:
- Why forgiveness has nothing to do with other people
- How to apply forgiveness to money stress, health issues, and relationship conflict
- Why awakening can feel clear… then seem “lost”
- How the mind quietly reasserts control through effort and identity
- What embodiment actually looks like in ordinary life

For years, many of us have poured energy into “healing” ourselves — the inner child, the trauma, the thoughts, the beliefs. It feels noble and empowering at first… until it begins to feel endless. Like there’s always another wound to fix or another version of ourselves that isn’t quite enough yet.
In this episode, Jody Agard explores the deeper invitation of non-dual healing — as the remembrance of wholeness. You’ll be guided through a deeply spacious meditation that reveals the peace that’s already here, beneath all effort and self-fixing.
This isn’t about bypassing pain; it’s about discovering the awareness that gently holds all pain, and realizing that this awareness — your true nature — has never needed healing.

Everything in life changes — relationships, health, plans, even the thoughts that move through our minds.
For most of us, peace seems tied to those shifting conditions. But when we look closely, we find something deeper — a quiet, changeless awareness that never moves.
In this gentle nondual meditation, Jody Agard guides you to rest in that unmoving stillness, the Divine Presence that remains steady through every rise and fall of life.
No effort, no control — simply noticing what has always been here.

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Jody Agard sits down with Lisa Natoli for a grounded, relieving conversation about a common spiritual struggle: you have a real moment of peace or clarity… and then it feels like you “lose it.”
Lisa reframes the whole storyline. Awakening isn’t a Hollywood moment where the mind goes silent forever and life becomes trigger-free. What you are is already constant — but old identity and conditioning can take time to unwind.
Together, they explore:
- Why “backsliding” is often just the natural momentum of old habits
- The unplugged fan / cooling oven metaphor for how patterns wind down
- Why you don’t need to stop thoughts — you can notice thoughts appearing and disappearing in awareness
- How suffering sticks around when we hold a story in place (“I have no money,” “I’m sick,” “I’m guilty”)
- Lisa’s down-to-earth mind-body doorway: feet on the floor, sensations, presence — without judgment
- A practical experiment: what changes when you stop labeling life as “problems” and “difficulties”?
This conversation also highlights Lisa’s upcoming January 2026 teaching series:
✨ The Disappearance of Old Habits: Living the Truth of What You Are, a four-week invitation into self-inquiry, allowing, and the gentle dissolving of the false self — without forcing, fixing, or efforting.
About Lisa Natoli:
Lisa Natoli shares her story of healing and awakening in a way that is down-to-earth and easily understood. She was an alcoholic, cigarette smoker, food addict, type-A personality with roller-coaster mood swings which all got healed with A Course in Miracles. In 2013, she got sick with an incurable autoimmune disease... After trying everything to heal with no success, she began to welcome the pain and symptoms. This practice of welcoming led to an interest in nonduality teachings and practices of self-inquiry, which gradually led to the recognition of Consciousness as the true Self, our real Self which is complete happiness with no suffering or sorrow. She writes on the topics of mind-body healing, transformation, enlightenment, and consciousness.

Every time we identify with the personal story — the “me” who’s hurt, striving, fixing, or defending — suffering begins.
And yet, the moment we notice the identification, awareness is already here — whole, untouched, and free.
In this gentle healing nondual meditation, Jody Agard invites you to explore what happens when attention fuses with the idea of “me,” and how peace naturally returns when you rest as awareness itself.
No fixing. No striving. No self-improvement — only remembering the truth of what you are: Pure Presence.

Sometimes, when life feels like it’s falling apart, it’s really just rearranging itself for truth to be seen.
In this gentle non-dual meditation, Jody Agard invites you to rest in the simplicity of Being — beyond all labels, roles, and stories of “me.” Together, you’ll rest in what remains when everything false is released: the effortless peace of Pure Presence.
There’s nothing to fix, nothing to become — only the quiet recognition of what’s always been here.
A remembering of the healing simplicity of I Am.

True meditation isn’t something we do — it’s what we are.
In this gentle nondual healing meditation, Jody Agard invites you to rest in the simplicity of being itself — beyond effort, beyond thought, beyond the idea of a separate self.
You’ll be guided to notice the awareness that’s already here before any breath, sensation, or story of “me.” Through quiet recognition, the peace you’ve been seeking reveals itself as what’s never left.
This is a soft returning — not to a new state, but to the natural presence that holds all states.

There are seasons in life that feel full — of emotion, expectation, or quiet heaviness.
In this gentle non-dual meditation, Jody Agard invites you to rest beneath the stories of “me in this season,” and return to the stillness that never comes or goes.
Whatever this moment holds — joy, fatigue, grief, or gratitude — you’ll be guided to rest as the sky itself: open, unchanging, and free.

Beneath every role we play lies something deeper — the quiet awareness that never comes or goes.
In this meditation, Jody Agard invites you to rest beyond the mind’s labels and rediscover the peace that remains when every “I am this” falls away.

When the mind tries to understand or control life, it’s only doing what it knows — searching for safety through thought. But true peace isn’t found in figuring things out.
In this gentle non-dual meditation, Jody Agard invites you to rest beyond the analyzing mind and return to what’s always here — the still, open awareness that never changes.
Through simple guidance and reflection, you’ll rediscover what true letting go really means: the effortless dissolving of the imagined “me”, who’s trying to manage life.

As life changes, so do the roles we play — parent, partner, friend, or professional. In this gentle non-dual meditation with Jody Agard, experience what happens when you stop identifying with the roles and stories and rest as the awareness that witnesses them all.

In this week’s meditation, Jody Agard invites you to experience the deeper meaning of surrender — beyond effort, beyond letting go of circumstances, and into the effortless resting as what you already are.
Most of us think of surrender as something we do — releasing control, accepting what is, or yielding to life’s challenges. But true surrender isn’t an act of the separate self. It’s the dissolution of the illusion that there ever was a separate self to begin with.
This meditation is an invitation to stop trying to surrender to something, and instead experience the surrender of the one who tries.

We’ve been taught to believe that peace is something we have to chase — through practices, routines, or fixing what feels broken. But what if peace doesn’t come later? What if it’s already here, beneath every thought, every sensation, every moment of striving?
In this guided meditation, Jody Agard invites you to soften the body, meet what arises with gentle awareness, and rest as the wholeness that never leaves. Together, you’ll experience peace that asks nothing of you — not a perfect body, not quiet emotions, not more effort. Just Presence, as it is
Take this time to remember: you are not the seeker of peace. You are the peace.

In this guided meditation with Jody Agard, you’re invited to set down the weight of what you’ve been carrying and rest in the vast presence that holds it all.

This practice is an invitation to remember: you are not the heaviness, the story, or the struggle. You are the stillness that holds it all.
Take this time for yourself, and let yourself be held.

In this session, you’ll experience:
• Letting go of striving and future expectations
• Meeting the body and mind exactly as they are
• Resting in the presence that is untouched by circumstances
• Remembering that true peace is not found — it’s what you already are

So often the mind believes it has to “do” more to find peace — to relax better, to meditate properly, to fix the body or control time. But true rest begins when the doer falls away.

Here you’ll discover that peace is not something you create — it’s what you already are.

The body is always changing — sometimes tired, sometimes energized, sometimes full of aches or ease. But who you are is not limited to the body’s story. In this guided meditation, Jody Agard invites you to rest as the awareness in which every sensation, thought, and feeling appears.

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Susan Telford welcomes transpersonal psychologist, best-selling author, lecturer and spiritual poet, Steve Taylor, PhD.
Steve shares his own personal awakening experiences that began at a young age and that ultimately led him to devote his life to the study, investigation and process of spiritual awakening.
In his newest book, The Adventure: A Practical Guide to Spiritual Awakening, Steve explains, through his research of hundreds of people who had a profound spiritual awakening, that these experiences are not mystical or extraordinary, but rather they are more common than we realize. Many people may not even know that they are living their lives in a natural state of awakening or enlightenment.
Steve explains what he believes are the eight essential aspects of spiritual awakening that anyone can cultivate, and he discusses how guided meditations, contemplative exercises, and other practices can bring about spiritual transformation in our everyday lives.
Steve also shares a bit about his upcoming four-part live series for Center for Awakening beginning on July 8th entitled Four Steps to Awakening: Cultivating the Qualities of Spiritual Enlightenment.

Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati was born in the USA and her spiritual journey took her to India, where she has lived for many years in the Parmarth Niketan Ashram ashram.
In this edition of the Awareness Podcast, Bill Free chats to Sadhviji about her recently published memoir, Hollywood to the Himalayas: A Journey of Healing and Transformation.
Sadhviji speaks about her very conventional American life that was turned upside down by a vacation to India when she was 25 years old and in the middle of a PhD at Stanford.
It was there that she met her guru, HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji and her life changed forever.

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Susan Telford sat down with Heena Vasani to discuss Heena’s life and work using Dr Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry.
Heena had a kidney transplant 27 years ago, a topic she discussed with Jenny Beal here: https://hub.centerforawakening.org/blog/episode87
In this conversation with Susan, Heena shared how she almost refused the transplant,
because of a deep seated sense of unworthiness.
In finally accepting the donated kidney as a priceless gift, only made possible the death
of another young woman she never met, Heena stepped onto a path of nurturing
herself on all levels.
Heena talks about divine motherhood and how motherhood became her primary spiritual path and led her to examine all her previously undigested childhood trauma and the effects such trauma has on the body and mind.
Heena also speaks passionately about her work using Compassionate Inquiry and describes what happens in a session.
Finally, Heena describes the 4-part workshop she is facilitating for Center for
Awakening in May, entitled Compassionate Inquiry: A Meditative Approach.For full details of this series of live workshops with Heena and to register, visit:

In this new episode of The Awareness Podcast, Susan Telford sits down with award-winning filmmaker and founder of the Awaken the World Initiative, Daniel Schmidt to discuss spiritual awakening.
Learn about what Dan describes as a "pattern interrupt" and how that has played out in his own life.
Susan and Dan discuss what is meant by the term "spiritual ego" and how effort on the spiritual path can take us further from the Truth of who we are. Dan speaks eloquently about the importance of what he calls "the conditions of no escape" and "the surrender paradox".
Dan also describes what he will be teaching in his 4 part series, Letting Stillness Reveal Itself, exclusively available in Center for Awakening's Evolve Community in March.

ABOUT DAN
Daniel is the creator of the award winning film “Inner Worlds Outer Worlds” the “Samadhi” film series and is also one of the creators and speakers in the Awakening Mind series. It is Daniel’s intention to convey the one perennial teaching that is inherent within all of the spiritual traditions. Daniel created the Samadhi Center in Ontario Canada and the Awaken the World Initiative as an outer reflection of his inner world. His approach combines self-inquiry with traditional forms of meditation so that participants have the opportunity to simultaneously realize their transcendent nature, and to purify themselves of conditioned patterns so that the human vessel becomes permeable to their true nature. Daniel emphasizes that Samadhi can be experienced not merely as a temporary “state” but as a “stage” of development. Check out this interview with Daniel from the Awakening Mind film.
The “pathless path” is to realize an ever-deepening development process within the self-structure, and to simultaneously realize the emptiness of the self-structure. When these are realized as one, it is Samadhi.

In her final episode for the Awareness Podcast, Jenny talks with Joost Vanhove about his spiritual journey which involved exploration of a very wide range of ideas, methods and teachings. His keen interest in spirituality was initiated by repeated childhood experiences of expansion and oneness. It wasn’t until his teens that by chance he discovered the writings of a 14th Century Belgian mystic which confirmed for him the reality of what he had experienced.
Joost describes and gives examples of the way language influences our thought processes. Jenny and Joost discuss the role of language in the spiritual path and difficulties and pitfalls in trying to understand the ancient texts and the writings of non-living sages. We agree that much more can be transmitted in face-to-face communication with a living teacher.
Joost goes on to share how over a long period he came to create his self-development model using ideas from many different traditions and from friends on the spiritual path. He describes the meaning and content of the four pillars of this model – Perception, Acceptance, Vision, Action. We discuss how this fits with the Direct Path teaching of his teacher, Francis Lucille, and the principle of living in not-knowing.
If you've enjoyed Jenny Beal, we invite you to join her live for her new weekly sessions: The Path to Understanding, exclusively in our Evolve Community. Jenny will use a mix of guided contemplations, experiments, meditation and dialogue to explore and deepen our understanding of our true nature, and discover what happens when we live our normal lives from that understanding.

- The importance of spiritual friendships
The podcast ends with Ellen describing how difficult circumstances in her life have resulted in a surrender to not-knowing and an understanding that surrender is not-knowing.

In this episode, Jenny's guest, Heena Vasani describes how her mother abandoned her at a very young age, and Jenny and Heena discuss how the trauma from that experience led to inner work over many years to find resolution and healing.
Heena describes how her spiritual journey started in her early 20’s with a profound glimpse of her true nature that occurred when she was about to undergo a kidney transplant.
Jenny and Heena also discuss:
- The importance of fully facing the feelings that are a residue of trauma.
- How the fact that we don’t choose our thoughts means that we don’t choose our conditioning, and our parents didn’t choose their conditioning either. That understanding removes a huge amount of anger and blame.
- How motherhood provided Heena with the lessons she needed for her non-dual understanding to become fully integrated with her everyday life. Children are very good at pushing our buttons and they instantly detect any lack of authenticity.
- The uncertainty of life.
- The freedom that comes with living in not-knowing.
- The joy of continuing to learn and discover.

In this episode, Jenny's guest, Elizabeth Reninger describes how when she was very young, the birth of her sister and the death of a young child in a farming accident sparked an early curiosity about the nature of human existence. The death of her father a few years later led to the recognition that we are not the body.
Her childhood curiosity persisted into adulthood and led to a path of exploring the deepest truth. Initially this was through academic studies, but later through a variety of spiritual traditions. She was fascinated by what the various teachings have in common.
In meeting Thich Nhat Hhan, something that had been missing was revealed. As a result, the direction of her life changed completely. She describes how the process of awakening happened through a series of shifts. Understanding and expression of what she experienced came later.
Jenny and Elizabeth discuss:
- The connections between Buddhism, Taoism and Advaita Vedanta, and the ideas from each of these traditions that have had a lasting significance for Elizabeth
- The benefits of having a living Teacher.
- How a teacher can help at an early stage of the spiritual path and in the stabilization process
- What living in not-knowing means in practical life.

In this episode of Conversation in Truth, Bill Free talks to his guest Chris Beckett about what Chris calls Wisdom Freed.
Wisdom Freed is about pointing your spirituality towards the most important part of your life - the everyday when you're working, going to the supermarket or catching up with a good friend.
Chris discusses his own unexpected spiritual awakening and how through a series of Micro Meditations - simple, quick moments of presence done throughout the day, he allowed the natural process of awakening and liberation to unfold.
Chris discovered that these moments of presence also need to be supported with letting be. In this way, you avoid the danger of just practicing presence as a way to avoid the messy parts of life and the pitfall of just letting yourself be and acting out unconsciously and harming yourself and others.

We have all heard the phrase “spiritual awakening”, but do you really know what it means, especially for those of us who are living an “ordinary” life in the world?
Perhaps you have an image of what you think it should look like, feel like, be like.
In this episode of Living an Awakened Life, Susan and Helen go right back to first principles to discuss what spiritually awakening really is, how it shows up in our lives and the changes it brings.
Helen shares her own experience of awakening; what she describes as “the perfect meditation” and offers a guided practice to support you in being present with whatever is going on in your mind and body without trying to change anything.
Susan and Helen discuss whether a living teacher is always necessary and what is meant by the ”divine feminine”.

Venkatesh describes how his upbringing in a religious Hindu family led initially to spiritual questioning about the nature of God and then to the practice of Transcendental Meditation. Venkatesh discusses how he came to give up his successful career in business to follow a path of self-knowledge.
He outlines the rigorous daily programme of work and study at the Sivananda ashram, where he followed a progressive path of both Jnana and Bhakti yoga. A spontaneous decision to visit the Ramana Maharshi ashram at Tiruvannamalai, resulted in him falling in love with Ramana’s teaching and seeing that all the sages were saying the same thing – that this inward journey is the most important purpose of life.
We go on to discuss a number of aspects of Ramana’s teaching, including the basic ‘who am I’ practice, how to overcome the frustration of thoughts that keep flooding back, and how to deal with blank states. He explains the importance of questioning, and the connection between questioning, openness and not-knowing. Supported by his faith in the teaching and a strong desire for liberation he describes how he discovered the unchanging, inner joy of living as pure consciousness, ‘an instrument in the hands of the Lord’.

During the Covid pandemic he went deeply into what he really knew for himself. Understanding the non-dual teaching is a starting-point, but it takes courage to really live as consciousness, with no ground beneath your feet.
Marc has a serious and incurable medical condition called ‘restless legs syndrome’ which causes chronic lack of sleep. He explains how living in not-knowing, giving up trying to be the controller, and allowing life to unfold spontaneously provides the greatest relief.
Jenny and Marc discuss how to provide a bridge from the duality of conventional mindfulness to effortless non-duality.

In this podcast, Jenny and Hѐlen discuss the Dharma Art of Miksang, a form of contemplative photography, and its role as a spiritual practice on the path of beauty.
Hѐlen describes how difficulties in her life led her to the Dharma Arts and Shambhala Buddhism. Miksang practice starts from being open and available. We have a tendency to overlook moments of pure, fresh seeing, and conceptualise what we see, giving everything a name and a form. In Miksang, instead of photographing objects, we express the simple, direct and brilliant experience of a flash of perception, before the mind has applied any concepts to it. It’s an effortless way of meeting the sacred world at any moment during daily life. When we let go of likes and dislikes, good and bad, and the egoic desire to create a beautiful photo, we discover beauty all around us, shining in the ordinary.
To find out more about Hѐlen and the Dharma Art of Miksang, including details of her online and European events you can visit her website here: https://miksang.eu
The quarryfarm.com website contains examples of photos produced during the Miksang training courses that Jenny attended with Hѐlen.

In this edition of the Awareness podcast, Ann McIlraith describes her journey to the non-dual understanding through exploration of the body. She explains how T’ai Chi brings a feeling of openness and transparency of the body. The body can teach us so much, and T’ai Chi takes you beyond the body.
Jenny and Ann discuss how the practice of T’ai Chi relates to the investigation of the body that Francis Lucille teaches, and the discovery of our borderlessness through which the feeling of separation that resides in the body dissolves. Ann describes how in group work, the sense of being contained in a physical body disappears and you are experiencing the energy field in which all the physical bodies are moving. It’s a way of transcending the body while inhabiting it.
“When you’re feeling that your heart will burst with joy, when you’re feeling love, or beauty, when something touches you completely – that’s it. It’s simple.”

In this Living in Not-knowing podcast, Donald Hoffman explains how science is now catching up with what many of the spiritual traditions have been saying for millennia - that there is only one consciousness, and that time and space are not fundamental. What does science tell us about the nature of our human experience? Can we escape from the virtual reality headset that prevents us seeing things as they really are? Can Artificial Intelligence become conscious? What do we mean by 'understanding'? Is there anything we can know for certain? How can science and spirituality work together to discover new insights into the nature of ourselves and the universe? Don also talks about his practice of meditation, and describes the benefits it brings to his scientific work, to his everyday life, and to his understanding of his true nature.

In this episode, Francis describes what it means ‘to live in not-knowing’ and explains the distinction between non-duality and non-dualism. We discuss the different ways in which we can approach the hidden knowledge of awareness. After the first stage in which we discover the absolute reality of pure consciousness, Francis explains why it is essential to recognise that this one reality shines as this world. That’s the only way to be stable in this understanding. Otherwise, we feel nostalgia for the state of pure awareness, and then there is suffering.
We went on to discuss practice. Francis explained that after having a first glimpse of the truth, it’s a life-time assignment. The goal is happiness. Practice converges with life. You don’t stop the practice when you are enlightened. After enlightenment, you practice all the time. But it’s important to make sure your practice comes from love and enthusiasm. Otherwise you stay on the path of self-improvement for lifetime after lifetime. How could more effort, more suffering take you closer to the effortless path?

In this Living in Not-Knowing podcast, with Anne Hay, we trace her path from early glimpses of peace and freedom, through a range of spiritual disciplines, to reach the recognition that organized practice was not going to bring what she was looking for.
Several times she was brought face-to-face with death through an early traumatic experience, the death of her parents, cancer and other health issues. She describes how, as a result, the fear of death eventually melted away.
The freedom of not-knowing has been a recurring theme throughout Anne’s life, guiding her decisions and leading her inexorably towards that for which she truly longed.
It was eventually through Direct Path meditations that she found her way back home, to discover the peace and happiness which is our true nature. Life now is easy. Activities just come naturally from joy, rather than a sense of duty. Everything that arises is welcomed. There’s no sense of lack, or sense of impending doom. She knows and feels that all will be well.

In this Living in Not-Knowing podcast, Lawrie Smith, talks about her spiritual journey and her life as a judge in Canada. Everyone loves truth, justice and fairness. These are inherent attributes of our true nature. We discuss the purpose of the legal system and the various ways in which the concept of ‘living in not-knowing’ is enshrined in the practice of law. Judges and jury members are required to listen to the facts from a position of complete openness. We discuss the concept of ‘no reasonable doubt’ versus absolute certainty. We can apply the same principles in our daily lives. We all have prejudices based on our conditioning, but mostly they are hidden. Serving on a jury or working as a judge can bring these to light. Lawrie goes on to describe how applying the concept of living in not-knowing in daily life brings freedom and happiness.

In this episode Bill interviews Spiritual Teacher and author Caverly Morgan and the focus will be her newest book The Heart of Who We Are, which is endorsed by many spiritual leaders including Rupert Spira.
“Transcendence and transformation. In The Heart of Who We Are, Caverly deftly holds two seemingly opposing truths—our shared being of oneness whose nature is peace, and our shared world of apparent separation and its suffering—and invites us to explore how our true nature might find its fullest expression in both ourselves and the collective. This beautiful and
courageous book not only provides a way for us to explore who we are and how we are in the world but stands as a shining example of what it means to do both.”
-Rupert Spira, teacher of nonduality, author of The Nature of Consciousness
and Being Aware of Being Aware

When Susan sat down to interview Tom Das for The Awareness Podcast, she did not expect something extraordinary to happen live on the show. As Tom is giving a 4 part live workshop in November, Susan wanted to find out more about him, how his spiritual journey has unfolded and how he became a spiritual teacher. However, when Susan asked this question,
“Let's imagine just for the sake of the next, 10 minutes or whatever that I have come to you and said, I've had a glimpse of my true nature. I know that I'm not just this, I've had some spiritual experiences, but I don't feel as if I'm in a state of total freedom because I'm still vacillating between feeling that I'm not this body, mind, personality and feeling very much contracted inside it and reacting to the things that are happening, help me to see."
The podcast changed from an interview to a holy encounter that led Susan to taste her true nature in a deeper way than ever before, while at the same time realizing it is something she has always known.

In this Living in Not-Knowing podcast, the sculptress Maureen Thienpont describes how a traumatic event in her life awakened and clarified her understanding that there is more to each of us than just a body-mind. She explains how the events of life itself have guided her towards an ever-deeper recognition of the unity of self with all that exists, and led her to her teacher, Francis Lucille. Her work as an artist producing sculptures from stone is underpinned by not-knowing. She is guided towards a stone, without knowing why. And when she starts to work with the stone she has no idea what form will emerge. We discuss the importance of approaching life without expectations and surrendering to what is. When intuition and connection are not flowing, she leaves the stone until the right moment arises, which may be as much as a year later. To do otherwise would be disrespectful. She gives examples of how she applies this same approach of openness, trust and intuition, to helping friends who are in difficulties.

Bill and Rupert discuss letting go of the tradition, the practice, the thing that brings you to understanding awakening and allowing what's next to take its place. Rupert speaks about how fundamentalism can keep you stuck in concepts and that you can't ignore what's happening or think it is all just illusion. You have to look to effectively resolve the attachment and then letting go of the shore just happens.

In this edition of the Living in Not-Knowing podcast with Jenny Beal, Sam Visser discusses his spiritual journey which included time spent in an Osho commune, before coming into contact with non-duality and the Direct Path. He goes on to describe the approach he uses in his work as a psychotherapist, helping his clients to see for themselves that suffering never happens in the now. Situations don’t cause suffering, it's only our resistance to them that causes suffering.
When you can’t change the situation, just surrender. Surrender always points to the now. Life is uncertain, but embracing that uncertainty leads to freedom.
Sam goes on to explain how he came to lose all fear of death of the body. Life is a blessing.
