Reverend Jacquelyn Eckert interviewed Cate Grieves. In January 2103, Cate committed to a total devotion to the ACIM teachings and set herself the task to undo every egoic limiting belief in her mind over the following 2 years. Twelve months after her full commitment, in January 2014 Cate had a revelation experience where she entered Gods Mind of unspeakable love. Another 12 months later, in January 2015, Cate’s mind had a full dropping away of the ego – what some call an awakening. The commentary of the ego had ceased and only the present moment (eternal always) was being experienced. The small self fell away to reveal a mind of unspeakable love. Since awakening, Cate has dedicated her life to God and teaching A Course in Miracles as practical forgiveness. She is part of the Pathway to Peace ACIM Group located in Melbourne Australia, where she works with other local teachers and students. She is an advocate for undoing the ego for where every you are. As mind is cause, we don’t need to go to community or run away from our lives – we just need to work with every little trigger as it arises. That trigger is pointing to an opportunity to release it and once released, more peace is experienced.

Reverend Jacquelyn Eckert interviewed Amoda Maa Jeevan. Amoda Maa is a contemporary spiritual teacher and author. In 2002, after many years of spiritual seeking, meditation and immersion in psycho-spiritual practices, an experience of the dark night of the soul led to a profound inner awakening. In surrendering wholeheartedly to the unfolding unknown-ness and aliveness of this moment, she became a “naked lover of what is”. Since that time, all seeking stopped, all methods dropped, and a gentle but unequivocal coming home to rest in unconditioned non-dual awareness has become embodied as a living reality. In 2012, Amoda started speaking from silence in small gatherings in the UK. Today, she offers meetings and retreats to a growing global audience, and is a frequent speaker at SAND conference and other events in the USA. She has recently moved from England to the Bay Area with her husband and beloved, Kavi.

Late in 1975, when he was 33 years old, John discovered the perfect idea of perfect Social Justice, and set out to become the perfect Communist revolutionary. He joined with a small group of anarcho-communist radicals, and embarked upon four years of bank robberies, property bombings, gunfights with the police, two escapes from federal prisons and two years on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List; all done in the name of supporting the struggles of the American worker for justice. In the end it came to nothing.

In January of 1976, he was shot and captured during a bank robbery; in March, he escaped.

In 1978, after two years on the run, robbing banks and organizing property bombings, John was captured by the FBI, tried, convicted, and sentenced to 30 years in prison.

In March of 1979, he escaped again from the federal prison where he was serving his sentence. In April of 1981, after two years on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list, he was finally captured for the last time and returned to prison.

In June of 1994, in the fifteenth year of his imprisonment, the American spiritual teacher Gangaji came to the prison where John was serving his sentence. John found himself face to face with her and, in that meeting, discovered himself to be eternally and unconditionally free. He spent more than a year in the fully open awareness of spiritual awakening, which collapsed suddenly, leaving him bereft.

John spent the rest of his time in prison trying to find something that he could do that would bring him back to the state of indifference and apathy that he had enjoyed prior to meeting Gangaji and being taken by the false promise of freedom. This effort unexpectedly brought him to true freedom by means of an extremely simple act of attention.

Bob Fergeson is the author of The Listening Attention and a new novel about awakening called, Dark Zen – A Guru on the Bayou.

Bob’s spiritual teacher was Richard Rose. Bob says, “I took his advice to heart, put what little I could into practice, and it gives results. I lost the fear of living I had carried in years past, … This journey culminated in a dramatic realization, the experience of my true nature as pure awareness, love in action. This was a traumatic loss of the personal man, which was replaced by the knowledge of myself as the universal awareness in every man, in everything. The question of ‘who am I’ was answered. This was replaced by a drive to communicate the ways and means of this realization to others who ask the same question.”

Scott Kiloby is an author and international speaker on the subject of freedom through non-dual realization, a Certified Addiction Treatment Counselor/Registered Addiction Specialist, Director of the Kiloby Center for Recovery, Inc. and Founder of the Living Inquiries Community.

Scott’s message is simple: Rest. Inquire. Enjoy Life.

“Rest” refers to the invitation to relax into the present moment and let all thoughts, emotions, and sensations come and go freely. “Inquire” refers to Scott’s body of work called the Living Inquiries, which are designed to help people see through the belief in separation and deficiency. “Enjoy Life” is self-explanatory. Through taking Scott’s work deeply into your life and discovering freedom for yourself, life is simpler and therefore more enjoyable. People and things take on a lighter, more illusory-like appearance. The sense of separation is seen through.

You don’t have to suffer anymore within a personal story that leaves you feeling “not there yet,” “not good enough,” or some other deficiency story. You no longer have to chase the future for a happiness that always seems out of reach. We have been falsely conditioned to believe that we are separate, deficient people and that our stories are who we are. In this conditioning, we have learned to avoid uncomfortable feelings and sensations. Scott’s sites and books are the various ways he speaks to seeing through these stories and conditioning, so that we can feel emotions and sensations directly (instead of trying to escape what is), and live in the present moment without identifying with thought.
