    I'm absolutely thrilled this interview is only the first in a series, can't wait for more. I was hanging on every word. I'm so grateful to Mr. Aalto & for sharing this with us.

    Great interview Rick, probably your best yet. Harri has managed to stir something inside me that overtakes the single belief I had regarding oneness, or none duality. I was of the belief that intellectually anyway, there is only the one. I am so excited at the thought of further interviews with this incredible man. Clearly by the way he expresses with such conviction far more than this belief. I somehow "know" myself that he is a vital part of the great awakening that is clearly happening. A beautiful man indeed.

    Once you have the experience of the unity and comprehend the infinity in someway, wether it be visceral or cognitive it's hard to disregard or invalidate any particular experience. This is an amazing interview and thank you Rick. What seva you are doing!

    I am glad Harri mentioned about the light exploding out of the top of the head, I had a very similar experience and so have many other yogis/mystics like Gopi Krishna etc.. This was a great talk, very detailed and well presented. Good job Rick and Harri!

    A real man !!! Congratulations Rick for so stubbornly inviting this guest ! *Now* *please* drop all the booksellers and website self promoters and goofballs and bigmouths and new agers from your list and make 100 shows only with this guy or the likes of Francis Bennett or Michael Baxter (real people and not sales types !), and your show will improve greatly ! Quality, not quantity !!!
    P.S.: I don't share the optimism with regards to the human future with this guest, but maybe he sees something I don't.

    • @TheSoteriologist
      @TheSoteriologist 8 лет назад +1

      Yeah how convincing: insult in lack of good reasoning. Thanks for revealing your state of mind ! And as the Buddha said: _"Whatever the guest doesn't eat is for the host himself"_ or some such.

    • @Batgap

      So I see. I was responding to That Brown Shieeet, as you hopefully surmised.

    • @TheSoteriologist
      @TheSoteriologist 8 лет назад

      I sure did surmise, hence the lol. The logic of the joke forced the fit ^^
      Nice interviews, BTW, between now and when I stopped rating.

    Thanks, Rick, this was wonderful. Please bring Harri back as often as possible. We can't get enough of him:) But we, many of us, had enough of the self-deluded selling their shoddy wares in the spiritual market place to gullible or desperate people.

  • @sejusmai7312
    @sejusmai7312 8 лет назад

    i think this guy makes more sense than anybody you have ever had on your show. maybe it is because i have had similar experiences through out my life. ive asked many people about my experiences but nobody has really knew or even tryed to answer me. This guy has in part answered. great interview rick.

    The road map Rick wishes for at 53:00 exists. This magnificent interview, one of the best I have heard, would benefit from Ken Wilber's Integral map, often referred to as AQUAL. Distinguishing sates from stages alone would have brought a greater clarity to the interview. Deepest gratitude for all the interviews, but this one in particular is outstanding.

    Funny synchronicity Rick ... Just as you talk of 'bugging' Harri about doing an interview, a bug traverses the wall beneath the picture frame. Thankfully it disappears into your ear, otherwise it would have driven viewers to distraction ;-)

      I listened to this interview on audio podcast and wondered if you still Skyped the home town interview. Then Francis B posted a link on facebook and I get to see the cozy one on one with guest bug in background. Love it.

  • @jamesaustin7943
    @jamesaustin7943 10 лет назад

    Using the movie screen anology, non-dualists tend to emphasise the screen, and turn away from, or disregard the images moving across the screen.
    It seems to me that Harri is constantly aware of the screen (he states), but is also very interested in the images moving across the screen; which is to be expected given those images are so other-wordly!, or not of the hum-drum nature that most endure 24/7.
    That said, neither is right or wrong. Rather what is being given attention differs. Harri, the screen and the moving pictures. Non-dualists, prefer the screen only.

    When people talk about “realisation” being an ongoing process, an evolving process, I would say that what’s going on there is what’s in the way, or obscuring “pure consciousness”, is increasingly getting out of the way.
    So when people claim their “realisation” is complete, they are saying that it is no longer obscured.
    Another perspective; it is said that the substratum does not change, it is always. Hence, “evolution” cannot be applied to it.

    It is more than interesting to watch a "host" being tutored by a "guest".

  • @MarkDParker
    @MarkDParker 10 лет назад

    Having just come back from a pretty intense yoga (exercise) class, I'm wondering how Harri, and Rick or anyone else for that matter, deals with challenging or demanding new experiences.
    I'm a 50-year-old newbie to yoga and it is kicking my ass. My consciousness is in a pretty good place while I'm publicly demonstrating how out of shape this body is, no ego attachment, etc. But that doesn't seem to help me perform any better or learn more quickly. I guess I'm more or less approaching it as a sadhana, for lack of any better mindset, and figure that it will simply get better with practice.
    But I am wondering: Would someone in Harri's position respond differently? How does a highly realized being deal with completely new challenges for which their karmic body is unprepared? Is equanimity, patience and endurance the best that we can hope for? If so, that's fine. I'm just curious. No one ever talks about great sages experimenting with new tasks. The popular imagination just kinda assumes that they're good at everything...

    not for going to sleep at night!
    woke me up!
    woke my body up, my soul is, in my opinion, a long way from enlightenment on the Hawkins scale, at its best.
    Is Haari Aalto 990 on David R Hawkins scale?
    Kristin Kirk 850?
    David Alsobrook 800?
    Francis Bennett about 800?
    Igor Kufayev about 805?
    I have heard about 205 of the 225 batgap.com interviews,
    and these six are in the top 12 as to Awakening,
    in my opinion.
    And is Aalto the clearest and most concise accurate teacher on the planet?
    As all the above have a finite amount of audio and video available,
    I'd really like to know of anyone else in their class?
    Humbly, as I am quite sure I am MUCH less awake than all 225 guests.
    ditto to all the other favorable comments.

    It felt like a university setting and Harri a professor, very mechanistic, which is fine but he repeatedly denies his approach as intellectual. I didn't perceive him as peaceful but somewhat choppy and uneasy. He spoke of love but denied acts of love.ie.. 'never hugging'Almost embarrassed to love. Trying to reconcile the apparent dichotomy between what he spoke and what I saw. I am sure Harri could explain it away but for me explanations are empty without the power of presence. Was something missing or is it me. ? I write this with respect. ..

      He practices Transcendental Meditation as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I used to practice it, but now practice a variation, as I'm using a mantra given me by Amma (amma.org), but I'm using it TM-style.
