Amoda Maa Jeevan 'Radical Awakening' Interview by Renate McNay

[@mabaker]

What an inspiring lady. Thank you for posting it!

[@snoo333]

really a good interview. Thank you for bring Amoda to my attention. She is awesome. I can identify with her suffering and awakening. I am glad you asked her about her past.

[@RPKGameVids]

These videos are so relaxing to listen to.

[@rosegathoni5394]

Enlightenment happens only in the HERE/NOW by meeting what's unconscious about us, NOW, NOW and ONLY NOW. It's beautiful to know that this NOW is always here. Thanks Amoda. If I listened to you 4 years ago, I wouldn't have understood you. Thanks Renate too.💕

[@durgachaitanya]

I like her clearness.

We all go through a series of awakenings and realisations throughout our life; Looking at a child and realising you have grown, hearing a debate and seeing another point of view, seeing old friends and realising you have changed or studying and discovering an intelligence you didnt realise you had. But most people have these and think nothing of it and only reach a certain point of awakening by the time they are old. In order to truly awaken you have to dwell on those moments through your life and question them, ask why it happened, be curious and push for more. Then what happens is you end up becoming far more self-aware at a much younger age than most other people. It's like trying to imagine the edge of the universe. First you try to imagine the size of our galaxy, then the universe, then you trying to imagine whats beyond the universe and what our universe is "in"? How do you imagine something that goes on forever? What does that look like? What does nothing look like?? Your brain can't imagine it because its unimaginable. But it's fun to try.

fantastic interview!

[@SelmaPiro]

I can really relate to this from my own inner journey so far with the Steps to Knowledge - the book of inner knowing. Just as Amoda describes 'steps' along the way, so I've found so far that everything is incremental and gradually building towards something - there's that meaning & direction alluded to when she talks about meeting life and finding purpose & Grace everywhere in life, out in the world. I'm still at the early stages of my journey, so this interview is inspiring and encouraging to me. The ending description of the inner crisis also resonated with a Teaching called 'The Crisis' from the New Message from God, which very much confirms what's Amoda is saying about the outer world crisis needing to be met by many of our own individual inner reconciliations: "Behind all the pleasantries you see in the world and the appearance of happiness and success and the appearance of contentment, there is the crisis-a crisis within the person, within each person, within you; a crisis that is always there until it is resolved; a crisis you carry with you into all of your activities and relationships; a crisis that haunts you and keeps you living apart from yourself, running away from your deeper experience, hiding out in the world somewhere, hiding out in religion, hiding out in politics, hiding out in hobbies or pastimes. It is because of the crisis that this is the case." And the solution: "God has given you something important to do in life. The awareness of this is within Knowledge within you, deep beneath the surface of the mind that you think with currently. It is not merely a recognition or an awareness because you must do things in life to restore your dignity, to restore your value, not to prove this to God, but to prove it to yourself. You must earn back your self-respect, your self-trust and your self-love."

Beautiful interview.

beautiful

[@christerlindh5572]

I just listened. Nice interview. Some awakenings come after much life drama. Like Byron Katie and Amoda. My experience is some ten awakenings and I am still not "enlightened". We are different, and I think we will be different for many lives of further evolution, on this planet, on this plane and others. No hurry.

[@ariesred777]

Interesting conversation.I think/feel, the simplicity of human experience is the continuous birth, maturity, death while in the body.A polishing of the diamond(soul).The breath takes one to "surrender" "faith" in our nakedness.Dissolution of the "ego". An awareness of "imbalance" can create the shift.No need to suffer.Suffering is perceived by the ego as a "loss" of attachments through mind,emotion,material things.Grace/compassion arises through clarity/truth, our oneness of life itself.Submission of the ego to a higher state of being/reverence/love.

[@hasansahsah223]

God is seen first by heart before the thing is seen, then the world(things) are seen by mind after they had been seen by the heart; this is the simple description of the sign of real awakening. It is awareness of the heart first not the mind first. Does this description help? Is it correct? Simply no veil of time space reasoning before seeing?

Who is the Ego, the computer brain (microprocessor), the computer unit or the hard drive that store the activities?

[@prof.manjeetsinghjcboseust9034]

Zatoichiable, What is ego? Ego is a habit of binding with something , recognising something, labelling something as something, naming of something as something, giving value to something as something ( including body, energy, intelligence, self, emptiness, nothingness , Godliness, Ultimate, Absolute), having some point of being, the point or centre of knowing (sense of being). In essence, Ego is what stops you to be what you are (that is acceptance of reality) or what stops you to be vanish. And if you give values to what is being said, then try to understand what is being said and spread it.

[@zatoichiable]

manjeet singh ... habit of binding with something? Ego is what stops you to be what you are?

[@PaulJones-oj4kr]

Great. But Awakening is a range, from the first opening to Awakening to Brahman.......Awakening to the Self in ALL. She should not judge or ignore early Awakening stages. There's also a confusion of Singularity and Awakening. Singularitiy is Self alone. Awakening is different. Her experience of Awakening should not be generalized to everyone, which she does.

[@andrewmurphy5205]

Maybe she should call her book, Radical change of ego. After spending many years reading and studying a hodge podge of different information, she has come up with her own "new" stuff and call it Awakening. McNay seems confused and perplexed in interviewing her and trying to understand what she is talking about. Heavy mind stuff.

[@teryarty177]

I think what she's saying is that she had an unfortunate, miserable childhood, grew out of it and called it awakening on account of what she'd been reading about spirituality. All turned out okay in the end, she got all the money, adulation and fame that she always wanted. Hardly a Nisargadatta Maharaj, but whilst there's a market for it, good luck to her. But for anyone looking for therapy, go to a registered therapist. I've seen first hand the turmoil and confusion a person can go through listening to someone without a clue what they're talking about.

[@donnsmith6482]

if you are so aware then you see the empty food bowl held out to you by a hungry child don't you... yeah?.... Hmmmmm?.... don't you? ....and do you fill the bowl with your words? ...With your imagined transcendence? .. Hmmmm? .. Yeah? ...That would be a first sign of any spiritual authenticity.

[@elenol1310]

Dude, you are projecting a lof of shit onto her.

[@sukhmanicambridge]

Felt a little ungrounded. Disturbing somehow; preaching, bragging, too much claiming to be beyond. Yes, think about go feed the starving mouths and leave the hearts for now-

[@teryarty177]

I find her quite sickening. She seems to be getting off on the sound of her own voice. Which is okay, I suppose, just not for me.
