SOUNDS LIKE : WE ARE CALLING ALIANS ON EARTH.

I'm deep in the Amazon rainforest, sleeping on an open platform with just a thin mosquito net between me and the jungle. The sounds of the rainforest weave into my dreams and eventually wake me up. Long version at https://youtu.be/GsZG1ggSQFw

Amazon Rainforest Waking Up

I attached two JRF contact microphones inside the hollow of this wonderful old Oak tree to see if I could pick up any bug sounds. I was amazed to hear that it was completely full of Death Watch Beetle. They knock their heads on the tree to attract a mate.

One day to the end of the 2020 Rishikesh season of Open Satsangs, this Satsang starts with a questioner's testimonial admitting to the simplicity of Moojibaba’s pointings to Self-recognition, and asking for help in stabilising in this understanding when the mind brings up doubt.  

Many other topics are discussed in this Satsang as Moojibaba offers guidance about couples being in the search for for Truth together, facing mind storms after profound insights, and prayer.

The beautiful uplifting song by the Sangha at the end is followed by a powerful testimonial of Self-recognition by a seeker.

Satsang: Adventures in the Non-Happening

The ocean of calm - Part 1

Welcome to this moving conversation with prison activist and filmmaker Fritzi Horstman, in which we discuss her powerful short film Step Inside the Circle. Please watch it first. We talk about prisons, trauma, healing, and the bankruptcy of the punishment paradigm. The underlying theme of the conversation is compassion, which, as Fritzi's work makes obvious, is the animating principle of any truly radical action.
