Awakening Together Satsang with Roger Castillo

Anne Blanchard interviewed Roger, who is a spiritual teacher based in Perth, Western Australia.

Roger talks about peace of mind and happiness (for the human being) in daily living. He enthusiastically invites and welcomes anyone to join in when there is an interest in opening to the notion, and ultimately the first hand knowing, that peace of mind, love, and contentment are our very nature and therefore available on a continuous and unbroken basis regardless of the circumstance we find ourselves in.

Awakening Together Satsang with Rev. Myron Jones

Rev. Jones is an ordained minister through Pathways of Light and a student of A Course in Miracles. In this Satsang she was interviewed by George Maddox.

Rev. Jones has this to say about her practice:

“When I first started studying A Course in Miracles, I thought it was very complicated and very hard to do. The longer I practice its principles, the simpler it seems to be. There is still a lot of information that helps me to know why I practice as I do, but the practice itself is what is simple, and the practice is all that matters. The Course is not something to be learned, but something to be lived. Here is the way I live it. I stay as aware as I can of my thoughts because change happens only at this level. If my thoughts are not completely loving, then I know that they need correction. I bring these wrong-minded thoughts to the Holy Spirit and ask Him to correct my thinking and heal my mind. I accept total responsibility for my life. No one is to blame for anything that happens to me. If it is in my life, I put it there. Everything in my life is there for my awakening. If it does not serve God, then it is there to be forgiven. As I forgive, I awaken from the dream to the truth of who I am in God, my perfect self just as God created me. Forgiveness is my purpose.

In forgiving, I am not making error real, but rather I am accepting correction of my perceptions. If I see less than perfect love and complete innocence, then I am misperceiving. I am sorry I projected my errors onto the world and I am willing to withdraw those projections so that I can allow the Holy Spirit to correct them. That is my practice: awareness, forgiveness, correction through the Holy Spirit. This is my way home.”

Awakening Together Satsang with Dr. Rick Moss

 

For over 30 years, Dr. Rick Moss has developed a work he refers to as “Awakening to our Greatness”. After  teaching meditation for 20 years, he has been discovering that meditation alone does not seem to release subconscious patterns.

He is aided in his work by an intuitive ability which helps him read the subconscious and allows him to support people’s healing both in person and over the phone. Dr. Rick worked with all of us during the Satsang as part of introducing us to this healing modality. These ‘clearings’ are extraordinary and many that participated directly with Dr. Rick felt the benefits of this healing right away.

Anne Blanchard interviewed Dr. Rick Moss.

Awakening Together Satsang with Helen Hamilton

Helen Avery interviewed Helen Hamilton, who is a spiritual teacher based in West Yorkshire, in the north of England and is a mother of four. After struggling through her own awakening several years ago Helen was driven by the urge to simplify awakening for all beings and to share the essential pointings that allow us to overcome common challenges along the path to freedom.

Helen’s teaching style is direct and uncompromising in its insistence that we already are what we are searching for and yet encompasses compassion and wisdom to help us dissolve our ego with love and understanding. She teaches world wide and holds regular Satsangs and other events.

You can find more information about Helen including her Satsangs at the website: https://www.helenhamilton.org/

Helen also has her own YouTube with lots of inspiration and teachings: Satsang with Helen Hamilton

He has forged friendships across the globe and has been involved in numerous projects involving restoring entire villages in Sri Lanka ravaged by the tsunami and war, earthquake relief in Haiti and Nepal, and cyclone relief in Bangladesh. He personally oversees countless projects across the globe, especially in Africa and Asia, to restore eyesight, bring medical supplies and wheelchairs where there were none, educate youth, build orphanages and hospitals, bring water to villages high in the mountains of Nepal which were cut off after the earthquake, create job training for women, homes for the homeless and bring hope to prisoners and suffering individuals around the world.

Satsang with Laura Bedford

Rev. Shawna Summers  interviewed Laura Bedford. Laura is an inspiration living as a Peace Pilgrim in a way the world might think of as crazy.  In 2015, Laura walked coast to coast to raise awareness that Inner Peace is our True Divine Christ Nature. Every lack of Inner Peace flows from not knowing our True Self.

Laura had her first mystical experience in childhood that helped raise questions in her mind. Since 1992 she has been involved with learning and practices for enlightening to our True, Divine Christ Nature. She makes no claim to enlightenment, saying she has simply been given (mystical) windows that confirm to her the existence of God.  Join us to discover more about her unique journey!

Awakening Together Satsang with Natalie Gray

Listen to the audio

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert interviewed  Natalie Gray.

When asked for her biography, Natalie wrote:

“I’m an ordinary being who spent a good part of my childhood and the first 25 years of this adult life searching for meaning and answers. This seeking took many forms including: practicing Catholicism, trying to find a calling (as an actress, teacher and life coach), attending self-help and awareness seminars, study and initiation with various spiritual teachers and teachings and using drugs. After coming to the realization that no one or no thing outside of me was going to provide the answers, an intense internal search for the truth ensued. “The end of seeking” occurred in 2010. There were no more questions. There was no more need for answers. What was sought had been found.

I have been married for 20 years, I do voiceover work for a living, I had a cat until she died last year, I am currently in remission from breast cancer, and I work a 12-step program.

Along with some YouTube videos and a few blog entries, I have mostly shared my experience and insights through one-on-one conversations. It has been nine years since the end of seeking occurred. There has been no shift or change in the perspective I gained then—a clear understanding of what has always been true.”

Regina interviewed Brian Tom O’Connor, the author of  Awareness Games: Playing with Your Mind to Create Joy.

Brian Tom O’Connor is an actor, theater director, cabaret performer, and formerly depressed guy who stumbled onto the source of joy and happiness in the background of all experience. He is not an enlightened person, which, in fact, is a good thing, because if someone as imperfect and flawed as he is can find it, so can you.

So try the games and make up your own.  Experiment.  See what works for you.  It’s all about your direct experience. Play with pure awareness and discover the background of all experience, where happiness is hiding in plain sight.

Awakening Together Follow-up Satsang with Suse Wicks

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert interviewed  Suse Wicks.

This is our second Satsang with Suse Wicks. Our last Satsang interview with Suse can be found at this link. When asked for her latest biography, Suse wrote: “This expression best reflects my sharing: Seeking confirms that one feels a loss, something missing, a separateness that needs to be fulfilled. Seeking is the search and belief that something has to be better than what is or something better is attainable. That is why the position of a seeker is endless. Everything that is appearing in every nano second is always whole, complete and pure just as it is. One has to make this discovery for oneself. Living life with no explanation is living life as unconditional love.”
