"In this new audio CD, recorded upon a lush aural backdrop of exotic bird songs in Sydney, Australia, Gilbert leads us to strip away the conceptual bonds we place upon ourselves and notice the pristine awareness within which all experiencing happens. Anyone who is open to this message can find through listening to Gilbert's clear, gentle, and precise pointers that it really is "clear and obvious". The listener is guided to recognize the pure knowing at his or her core which is often overlooked through a habitual identification with the reference point of "I" or "me". This is a profound and powerful recording." - Burt (burt@beyonddescription.net)

Note from the CD cover:

Natural wakefulness needs no introduction. It is. The transcendence of any bondage to belief patterns is a simple matter of investigating them. It appears we cannot do this so easily on our own. This CD is aimed at seeing through the substantiality of bondage to concepts. Your true identity has been seemingly bound up in concepts. It "appears" that through more refined concepts, all concepts are revealed to be truly insubstantial. What is revealed? Natural freedom - a simple presence to thoughtless reality. Our innate freedom reveals itself as nothing other than this natural and indestructible presence of awareness. Ordinary awareness. It neither comes nor goes. It cannot be turned off or lost. It needs no perfecting! Acquisition is the Traditional Path. The "Progressive Path" keeps you bound. Transcendence of the bondage of self is too simple, so few ever make this simple open investigation. Complications of endless expectation keep the mind busy. Seeing is naturally happening. Simply investigate the concept of a "seer" and realize your innate, natural freedom in THIS moment.
