Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert and Rev. Regina Dawn Akers interviewed Floyd Henderson.

The Realisation of SELF means the shattering of the shell of separation so that the non-dual nature of Reality is directly known. How can this be different from person to person? Only in the ABSENCE of the person is this nature revealed. In this way, Floyd Henderson invites us to strip away all that is personal, all that is dualistic, all that separates us from this understanding of Oneness from our True Selves.

The summative statement I AM THAT; I AM describes that understanding of SELF in absolute terms as well as its expression in the relative. Floyd Henderson is THAT just like all human beings; however, Floyd is fixed unshakably in this understanding, so all functioning, relatively speaking, flows directly from this SELF-Knowledge.

In this way, the biographical details (such as, born in Louisiana; moved to Texas; worked as a teacher and business owner over several decades before taking early retirement to write; father of a daughter named Ashley; current resident in the community of Walden on Lake Conroe in Texas; years of seeking followed by twenty-five months in the forest dweller stage and experiencing a vision that resulted in the dramatic peripetia or flash of Realization; functioning as a Direct Path, Nisargan teacher; and author of over forty Advaita books) are the attributes or flavourings which coloured the pure consciousness in the particular shape and form at the relative level.

Yet, these attributes are false ingredients. They cannot provide a true answer to the question Who is Floyd Henderson? because he recognizes no who-ness at all … believes in no who that is living here at all. (From the forward by Louise Sterling for the book, The Advanced Seekers Series, Vol 1).

Floyd shares this additional information about his life:

during my early years I lived eight months out of the year with my parents in a dangerous part of a city on a street with two gang leaders and where I witnessed a stabbing on that same street before I was eight years old. The other four months of the year, I lived with my Cherokee / Medicine Woman Grandmother in her cabin in the piney woods of East Texas. Thus it was that by the ages of 5 and 6, I did not know either the term “duality” or the term “non-duality” but I had already witnessed both at play. In the part of the city where my parents lived – called “the slum” –  the misery and suffering generated by duality-based thinking and talking  and behaving was observed. By contrast, I had witnessed the type of existence which Grandmother enjoyed – and which she and I shared – because it unfolded in a non-dual style which allowed her to model peace and Love and contentment and independence and freedom from concepts.

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert interviewed  Suse Wicks.

Suse describes her journey:  In 1987 my husband took his life. What followed immediately after were numerous experiences of the deepest love and clarity I had ever known. So profound were these experiences that a love I had never known before filled my daily canvas of life from moment to moment entirely. In an instant I knew there was one God, in an instant I knew there existed pure causeless, joy, love and deep peace regardless of my circumstances and most of all, in an instant I knew it was all deeply within me. So complete was this knowing that I became hell bent on figuring out how to expand this deliciousness of loving life so joyously, despite the shroud of widowhood with two young children. I held onto one truth: if something existed it could expand and grow. Without a shadow of a doubt I knew love, peace and joy existed beyond anything my mind or experiences had ever demonstrated thus what I was experiencing could grow and expand within me. It was also clear that I could not return to the old way of seeing and perceiving, nothing of my past made sense. My life continued for some time between pure happiness and deep suffering. The many glimpses I had of my natural self led me on the spiritual path that ensued for many years, many teachers, many studies only to discover after much exhaustion that what I was looking to expand and grow was always, always right under my nose, even closer, always accessible at any instant. The awakening in knowing that I was not in charge and the fact that there is no separate self led to the melting away of all concepts of identifying myself as a separate self. What remained was the return to all the instances I experienced after my husbands death only this time it was permanent. What I am and who you are, have and always will be life itself, that is the spiritual search we will all come to sooner or later.

The tiniest drop of pure love felt in one’s being is a force powerful enough to abandon all else for the sake of discovering more…. it is the discovery of who you truly are. Suse points the way to discovering who you are through questions, answers and story.”

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert interviewed  Rev. Amy Torres.

Amy Torres is a well-loved spiritual teacher, author, and retired Gestalt psychotherapist. She has helped countless people regain their lives through a process she terms “unravelization” – safely structuring meltdowns, temper tantrums and nervous breakdowns for repressed and imploding adults desperately in need of release. The idea is that by unraveling and falling apart we encounter new psychological terrain in which fresh realizations and breakthroughs can arise. Although Reverend Torres was guided to formal ministry training and was ordained by One Spirit Interfaith Seminary in 2008, she considers herself “an undercover minister” meaning that her work is to embody Love and Light and allow her Presence to heal all within her sphere, often without mentioning God, or even speaking a word.

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert  Mary Reed. This was our second satsang with Mary. Mary recently wrote: “Recently a ‘rushing’ awareness flooded through my heart like a dam that had broken loose. I was swept back through key events and shown the reason why I had gone ‘into’ specific people and places. It was all for a very, very good reason…and I was also shown that right now is the time to share that reason.” We invited Mary back to share her new insights.

Mary Reed is an “accidental” mystic who, following eleven years of profound, involuntary visions and insights into divine realms, surrendered her executive life in Washington, DC to explore her spiritual gifts in a remote Buddhist nunnery in India. She grew up without any interest in religion but with an innate knowing that humans had more ability to access greater wisdom than most seemed to realize.

Mary inspires audiences far and wide with her story and perspectives. Using the unique lens of mysticism through which she has been viewing both Divine and earthly realms for fifteen years, Mary’s 2016 tour focused on the answer to a single question: If Love is all we need, then why hasn’t it ever been enough to make our suffering go away? In her words, “If we want a world in which Love really is all we need, then we need to know what Love really is. And if we as individuals want to be part of the awakening experience that is manifesting that world, then we need to know what it is to BE that Love.”
