Actor Martin Sheen as you've never heard him before. He has appeared in over 100 films, including Apocalypse Now. He’s best known on television as President Bartlet in seven seasons of The West Wing. But Martin Sheen, born and still legally named Ramón Estévez, has had another lesser-known life as a spiritual seeker and activist. He returned to a deep and joyful Catholic faith after a crisis at the height of his fame in in mid-life. He’s been arrested over 60 times in vigils and protests. "Piety is something you do alone," he says. "True freedom, spirituality, can only be achieved in community."

Stop Seeking Saviors: Vaychi - ויחי

Following on from the hugely successful discovery of a never-before-heard J Dilla mixtape, Boiler Room continue their coverage of hip hop's finest technician with their second Yancey-dedicated podcast in partnership with Classic Album Sundays.

Where Episode 1 saw Boiler Room Head of Music and Dillaphile, @RajiRags, break down his magnum opus Donuts, this sequel digs into the anatomy of his 2001 debut LP Welcome 2 Detroit (BBE Records) alongside Dilla's mentor, @AmpFiddler.

Containing rare tape demos from a 17-year-old Jay Dee, classic J Dilla productions and unheard beats broken down to their kick and snare bare bones (via Dilla's own MPC files) and plenty of other musical nuggets, it's a must listen for anyone vaguely interested in the genius' work.

Recorded live at Classic Album Sundays in London.

Welcome 2 Detroit Dissected

"Do not use the enquiry merely as a pain killer. The one who feels free from pain will again experience pain at another moment. Go deeper than that and find the one who has had enough of suffering and the one who is thankful for being free from suffering. The fruit of self-enquiry is that you become completely empty, that nothing is left of you."

Satsang with Mooji

You Have To Do It

"The person is always late because its tendency is to keep linking to the past. It does not adapt to the freshness of now. Whenever you look into the mirror it never shows you a face of the past. The consciousness is just like that, it is always fresh."

Nothing Happens To You Ever

Moojibaba presents a powerful yet simple exercise — An Invitation to Freedom. This distilled and direct guidance takes us directly into the recognition of our timeless Being.

The Invitation is the very heart and essence of Satsangs with Mooji, having arisen spontaneously in Mooji after many years of guiding seekers of Truth. This guided seeing is supported by all of Moojibaba’s teachings, which help to clarify doubts and guide through any unexpected resistances that may arise. As such, it is intended to be followed in the broader context of Satsang with Moojibaba.

Moojibaba encourages us to experience this Invitation again and again, as the mind and attention marinate and become grounded in their natural source. This is the power and grace of Satsang, to merge the ego-mind in the universal Being which is our true home.

May all who are seeking freedom in the heart come fully home to themselves through this guidance.

An Invitation To Freedom ~ Monte Sahaja Retreat August 2017

"When I ask the question, ‘Can the perceiver be perceived,' it’s terrifying me."  

This finding is brought by a questioner to Moojibaba and we are invited to look at this together. The pointings deepen as a second questioner joins the conversation. The crystal-clear revelations and spontaneous utterances which follow serve our understanding and leave us as our quintessential nature.

“When all forms are changing and changeful, all objects are interpretable, what is our common reference point? Isn’t the one who is trying, seen? You must look and confirm. 

If even the seeing is seen, what remains? Who is there? This is why I am not speaking about the future. 

I am the unbroken now. I have no future, therefore, I am supremely happy."

You Are the Destination, the Journey, and the Awakening

A small group meets with Mooji to clarify pointings and seeings. When a questioner brings up the idea of being outside of Satsang, Moojibaba powerfully reminds us that every moment of our lives is our Satsang, not just the formal time of looking together that takes place in the Satsang hall.

"Satsang means your life. For you, Satsang is your life. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing. Satsang means to be aware of your Self, aware of what is true. You’re never out of Satsang—Satsang means to continually check in when you speak, who are you representing your 'I' as?"

Make Your Life Your Satsang

Moojibaba gives a potent and distilled guidance into the recognition of the pure sense ‘I Am.’ 

“Remain conscious just of the sense ‘I Am,’ without connecting to anything else. This itself will be a marvellous exercise for you. Then I would like to ask you after, ‘What did you find?’

The more you are stabilising in this ‘I Am,’ you will see the wealth of this. You will feel the health of this. You will see the unending-ness of this. You will feel the joy and the love of this. You will feel the compassion and the wisdom of this. This you must find.”
