2011 12 25 Anthony de Mello Tribute 2

On October 26, 2011 I posted a tribute to Tony, the first ten parts of the Awareness series. You may view that here: 2011 10 26 Anthony de Mello Tribute

Today I close the year with the final five parts of the series. I watched these just a couple of evenings ago, on Christmas Eve, 2011!  The first segment, especially, is very powerful. It seems like both an invitation and a challenge to Awareness, Awakening, Enlightenment. This seems most appropriate as we enter 2012. Are you ready? :-)

These seven videos play for approximately 60 minutes.

Anthony DeMello

Until his sudden death on June 2, 1987, Fr. Tony de Mello was the director of the Sadhana Institute of Pastoral Counseling near Poona, India. Author of five best selling books, renowned worldwide for his workshops, retreats, and prayer courses, he aimed simply to teach people
how to pray, how to wake up and live.

Most people, he maintained, are asleep. They need to wake up, open up their eyes, see what is real, both inside and outside of themselves. The greatest human gift is to be aware, to be in touch with oneself, one's body, mind, feelings, thoughts, sensations.

2011 12 13 Satsang Jiddu Krishnamurti

Today's Satsang is approximately 70 minutes long and has one main component, a talk given by Jiddu Krishnamurti: "7th Public Talk, Saanen, Switzerland, 22nd July, 1979"


In Total Silence the Mind Comes Upon the Eternal

[Some of the topics addressed in this talk]
Why is there constant strife and seeking?
Are we seeking superficial sensory experience or something timeless that thought has not touched at all?
Can thought with its limitation enquire deeply? Is observation the instrument of thought?
When one observes does the thing being observed undergo change?
Can the mind having understood desire know its value is relative and be free to observe?
Is there a way of living without any control? Is not the controller the movement of thought?
When there is no conflict whatsoever what takes place in the mind?



1 - Gayatri Mantra ( 3 Times )  1:51

2 - Jiddu Krishnamurti: In Total Silence The Mind Comes Upon The Eternal  1:08

3 - Om Asatoma Sat Gamaya 1:51
