Author and spiritual teacher, Hameed Ali, joins Raghu to discuss seeking truth and the boundlessness of our inner consciousness.
“I wanted the truth, but I wasn’t going to get it through studying matter. I was going to get it by going inward.” – Hameed Ali
Raghu and Hameed discuss:
- How an accident and out-of-body experience inspired Hameed’s Diamond Approach
- Hameed’s move from science to spirituality
- Basic trust being the fundamental platform for people to go inside of themselves
- Working with others on trust
- The boundless dimensions of our inner consciousness
- Soul as the one who experiences
- The meaning of non-dual divine love
- Raghu’s non-dual experience with Neem Karoli Baba
- A Jabba the Hutt metaphor to describe greed and disconnection
- General versus specific grace and tapping into the miracle of our existence
- Focusing on our good nature to improve the state of the world
“There is an inner consciousness that imbues the body, and not only imbues it but enlivens it, gives it life. When there is death, that consciousness leaves that body.” – Hameed Ali
