This Extraordinary Moment: Meditative Inquiry w/ John Astin

This episode explores "presence" (the presence of what is) as an unwavering, ever-present reality, regardless of how things are appearing.

In this guided inquiry, I point to "aliveness" as the common denominator underlying everything that appears.

This guided inquiry explores "being," the primal basis of each and every moment, and its ultimately mysterious, ineffable nature.

This guided inquiry highlights the ceaseless, ever-changing flow of reality and the resulting impossibility of ever capturing its nature in thought.

This episode invites the listener into an experiential exploration of the inconceivable miracle that's perceiving every moment.

The answer to our questions of where our fundamental well-being lies is found in the questions themselves for those questions, like everything else that arises, are made of this vast and inconceivable mystery that moves as everything. 

This episode explores the way in which despite all the coming and going of experience, there is something that is always present.

This guided talk/inquiry explores the existence or "is-ness" underlying every momentary perception. 

This talk/inquiry invites the listener to notice that nothing about what's being experienced needs to be changed for everything that arises is the natural state of things and reality's perfect, unavoidable expression.

This talk/guided inquiry points to the way in which reality is utterly ungraspable conceptually. 

This talk/inquiry invites the listener to discover the ever-present presence of life itself that welcomes all its myriad expressions. 

This episode points to way in which every moment that appears, regardless of its descriptive label, is the shining forth of reality.

This talk/guided inquiry points to the way in which everything that appears, whether experientially or circumstantially, is the display of this one reality. 

In this talk/inquiry, I highlight how reality (the presence of what is) can never be lost for it is what we are and everything is.

In this episode, I guide the listener into a perspective in which what we conventionally think of as the seemingly separate parts and pieces that make up the world are realized to be a seamless, undivided whole made of experience itself. 

The title says it all :-).

This inquiry explores the supposed edge or boundary of "us," revealing that when we look and feel into existence (or being) itself, we find no borders, no boundaries, no seams and the fabric of experience. What we find is an undivided, limitless expanse of being.

This talk/inquiry explores the mystery of being as the fundamental basis of each and every moment.

This talk/guided exploration points to the singular nature of reality as an aliveness that appears as every circumstance and experience.
