Nikolai1 Posted May 5, 2015 Been to see him? Heard what he's like? Etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetsun Posted May 5, 2015 Yeah , I went to one his meetings last month. Very English (I'll let you decide if that's a good thing or not), well spoken, articulate, gives a lot of good pointers and instructions as to how to go about investigating reality. He is "awake" to his true nature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jetsun Posted May 5, 2015 So it was good for you? Not a waste of time? Â yeah it was good, it was a bit of a general meeting for newcomers so he was saying a lot of introductory and general stuff, but I would like to attend a more formal teaching of his some time, there he will probably go into things with a lot more focus and give more direct pointers. He also does a rare form of Kashmiri Yoga for the energy body which sounds interesting 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikolai1 Posted May 5, 2015 That was in London I guess? I'm moving this summer to a town called Totnes, a small place in Devon, but amazingly there's an advaita type teacher there called James Eaton. Don't suppose you know him do you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't suppose you know him do you?  Yeah in London, done through http://www.alternatives.org.uk/Site/Default.aspx . I don't live in London but I go down sometimes to go to meetings of various people, there is always something going on when you start looking. The alternatives site just does general talks which are a bit impersonal and short, the regular meetings organised by the teachers are much better. The meetings in Hampstead by Tony Parsons are quite interesting, just turn up and £10 in on the door, but you are likely to walk out very confused hehe. I am probably going to see Francis Bennett next week, who is an awake teacher come over from the US.  I haven't heard of James Eaton, but the best people often aren't well known. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetsun Posted May 5, 2015 Where do you live?  In Cambridge, not much goes on here, at least not much that I am interested in,  I am not aware of any decent teachers around here so I have to get on the train to London. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikolai1 Posted May 5, 2015 I did my A Levels in Bishops Stortford - not much happened there either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
