December 10th, 2011 by Blake Ludwig· No Comments · Uncategorized
This week we kicked off the Becoming section of our Tuesday night Meditation+Evolution programme. The topic was Emergence. As Andrew Cohen describes, “Emergence means creating the conditions for higher potentials that never existed before to enter into time and space”. This week’s podcast centers around a discussion when a gentleman asks Patrick Bryson whether this [...]
A Brief History of Non-Duality
December 5th, 2011 by Blake Ludwig· No Comments · Uncategorized
During last Tuesday’s Meditation+Evolution evening, Chris Parish, MD at EnlightenNext UK, gave us an insightful evolutionary view of the history of Non-duality.

Throughout the history of human civilisation, meditation has always been about the [...]

Yesterday in London, I traveled with friends Blake Ludwig, Ann-Mari Freebairn and Alan Smith to film us meditating near the protest site at St Paul’s cathedral.

The Door is Always Open
November 7th, 2011 by Patrick Bryson· No Comments · Uncategorized
I love bonfire night because it reminds me vividly of the evening when I discovered meditation for the first time 31 years ago. I had already been practicing a form of meditation, which I picked up from a book but not much was happening because I didn’t really know what I was doing. I did [...]
