"The Self is never enlightened or unenlightened. It is always prior to all ideas of enlightenment or non-enlightenment, no matter what you say about it. All this is conceptual."  Karl Renz

Many or our friends have inquired as to when our filmed interview with Karl Renz, the well known German advaita teacher, who taught in Tiruvannamalai , India for years, might be available.

Today, we are happy to share two new clips from the upcoming DVD, one on the appearance of the "I" thought and another about the teachings of Carlos Castenada. Click here to watch our newest Karl Renz videos.

I heard one of my teachers say, “Always stick to your experience.” So that is what I’m doing.

My experience, my practice, on the path was simply to rest as awareness as often as possible, throughout the day.  I didn't call it awareness back then.  I called it presence.  There is no name for it.  In fact, don't get hung up on these labels.  It is the felt sense of openness that is available to you at all times.  Stop thinking for one moment and that openness is available.  Notice that the openness is always there, even when thoughts and emotions are arising.
