Apologies that the audio and video aren't synced on my side in this video, I'm playing with some mic and webcam settings and it clearly didn't come up the best. I COULD edit in in post-production to seem ok, but it would involve splitting my audio from Seth's audio and lining them up individually, which I'm just not going to invest the time into. I'll experiment some more and make sure it's working properly for the next episode of the pod.
We explore the practical teachings of non-doership and non-attachment to outcomes.
We investigate what suffering really is and how seeking itself can be suffering, especially when we take enlightenment to be the peak experience or mind-blowing satori that never ends.
We speak about heart and love and the broad range of normal human emotions that everyone goes through and how that is seen through the lens of this teaching.
We unpack exactly what the energetic transmission from a spiritual teacher to a student is and exactly what types of spiritual teachers are more likely to provide a strong transmission of this type and why.
We also chat about free will, predetermination and destiny. Do we actually get to make any choices in this life or is it all just a movie being watched that has already been written, filmed and produced?
We spoke about Bob's interactions with both Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Transcendental Meditation (TM) and then later Nisargadatta Maharaj and his teachings.
Bob also tells me a bit about what it was like for him as he left his sojourn in India to return to his home of Melbourne in Australia and started sharing his understanding of non-duality with people here.
We talk a little about spiritual bypassing and what Bob understands by the term and we also speak about what Jesus REALLY meant when he said "I am the way and the truth and the life."
This was a thoroughly enjoyable hour spent with a very lovely man who has a sweet and gentle nature about him.
Thank you very much to both Bob and his wife, Kat, for allowing this conversation to happen! 🙏❤️

We talk about the beauty of spacious awareness and not throwing the baby out with the bathwater, Ken Wilber's distinction between waking up and cleaning up, being a repressor of anger and what might be a more healthy version of managing our anger and what living an authentic life might look like.

We also mentioned both Ken Wilber and Thomas Hübl on the podcast, so here’s some information related to them.

Thomas Hübl: thomashuebl.com
We speak about intergenerational trauma and how that shows up in the nervous system and influences conditioning and how we pay attention in daily life and, hence, our experience of life.
Isaac also tells me a bit about his spiritual journey, how it all started from an acid trip with a mate at the tender age of 18 and how Isaac interpreted that experience and where it led him to from that point onwards.
One from Australia, one from the complete opposite side of the world, in Norway.
In this conversation, I attempted to dig into the histories of these two enlightened masters and how their lives and the practices they had adhered to allowed them to become successful in the pursuit of higher consciousness and wake up to their true nature.
I asked them both questions such as:
1) What differentiates someone who surrenders in difficult circumstances and someone that resists?
2) What does personality have to do with enlightenment?
3) Why is the Osho International organisation in Pune treating enlightened masters like threats to them and their mission?
4) What does Osho's concept of "The New Man" or "Zorba the Buddha" mean to you?
I thoroughly enjoyed the chat once again!
Big love,
Maitreya 🙏❤️
One from Australia, one from the complete opposite side of the world, in Norway.
Vishrant and Swaha never met, although they were on the ranch in Oregon with Osho at the same time in the 80s, but they have a LOT in common.
This conversation is just beautiful.
The two go back and forth sharing stories about their love of the man that Osho was and the presence that he still is in their lives today.
It was wonderful to participate in such shared and deep devotion.

In this conversation we talk about what it means to be total in life by giving yourself no choice, warmly welcoming emotional wounding and navigating uncomfortable feelings, the Daoist concepts of yin and yang as they relate to activity in the world, being in service of the heart, being in relationship as a seeker and the practice of openness which I, personally, rate as THE most important of Vishrant's teachings and one that has fundamentally changed my life.
I also challenge Vish on a few different topics and his responses were unique and intriguing and revealed deeper layers of insights for me.
Enjoy!

Vishrant has been my spiritual teacher for 8 years now and has been instrumental in lots of different kinds of personal transformations for me over that time.
It was amazing to have my guru join me for a conversation about something so dear to my heart. Truth.
Also, this is part 1 of a 2 part conversation (part 2 gets a little spicy, so look out for that one)!
In this conversation we talk about satoris or experiential glimpses of truth, the differences between living in lower consciousness, higher consciousness and then also what Vishrant calls "super consciousness", what real maturity is and how victim-orientated thinking plays a role in that, the importance of self-acceptence as part of the spiritual journey and also present moment awareness.
Would love to hear your thoughts below ❤️

In this conversation, I chat with spiritual teacher Ted Strauss about a broad range of things.
We start with MDMA and psilocybin-assisted therapy given it has just been legalised in Australia for certain licensed therapists. We delve into its effectiveness and how it can work to heal.
We also discuss Ted's iConscious model of consciousness and awakening. He's written a book about the model and you can check out more at the iConscious website here: https://iconscious.global/
We end the conversation talking about a concept that is present in a lot of Ted's teachings call "mutuality" which has been very powerful for me, personally, to come to understand and practice.
Lauren tells me about her devotion towards truth and why it means so much to her.
We also explore the willingness for a seeker to be with their direct experience in all of its facets.
