Robert Lawrence Kuhn, host of the insightful PBS show, Closer To Truth, converses with Donald Hoffman, a cognitive scientist and psychologist, about:

Others, that consciousness and cosmos are both deep reality.”

Robert Rabbin: Dialog on Death and Integrity of Being
Robert Rabbin, a contemporary mystic who lived with Swami Muktananda for 10 years, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer – in January 2012 – and given only a few months to live. He recovered fully in early 2016 to begin a new phase of life … and he now says: “Yes, I am thriving well past the use-by date predicted by doctors, owing to my contrarian nature and who knows what else …”

Ramana Maharshi: Silence and The Pearl
“The pearl is so small a thing, yet so valuable and so difficult to procure. Similarly, the Self is like the pearl: to find it you must dive deep down into the silence, deeper and ever deeper, until it is reached.” ~ Ramana Maharshi
Quoted from Silence in the Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, by David Godman.
Thomas Merton: The Solitude I Am
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” ~ Thomas Merton
Thomas Merton was a modern Catholic mystic. In his widely read biography, The Seven Storey Mountain, Merton explained that he was so drawn to God that he could no more deny its pull any more than he could deny his identity. His greatest wisdom was the discovery that they were one and the same.
Was Thomas a Nondual Christian Mystic? … we’ll explore that in a future post after we add Thomas’ Teacher page and also Traditions page for Christianity.
Meantime, enjoy one of his poems, and see two short videos (1st is a tribute and 2nd is Richard Rohr on Thomas) on this great Christian mystic who discovered the deepest secret.
