Q&A | The Direct Path of Sri Atmananda | Greg Goode

Greg Goode is the bestselling author of many popular articles and bestselling books such as After Awareness, The Direct Path, Standing As Awareness, and Emptiness and Joyful Freedom (with Tomas Sander). Known for a unique combination of penetrating insight, comfort with Eastern and Western sources, and a down-to-earth sense of humor, Greg studied philosophy at the Universität zu Köln in Cologne, Germany, and received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Rochester. His areas of specialization in graduate school were decision theory, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of George Berkeley. His doctoral dissertation was on the question, “Is it ever rational to be impatient?”
He became drawn to self-inquiry through the work of Brand Blanshard, George Berkeley, Francis Lucille and Sri Atmananda (Krishna Menon) as well as the Chinmaya Mission. Since the 1990’s up through the present era of social media, Greg has been an active contributor to spiritual Internet discussions. Greg is well-known innovator for having combined the ancient “direct-path” method of self-inquiry with modern electronic media. Greg is a member of the American Philosophical Practitioners Association (APPA), and serves as technical consultant for their peer-reviewed journal Philosophical Practice.

ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.
ABOUT US

Great to see Greg again after over 10 years. Even for non-dualists not following the Atmananda path these inquiries are a great aid to clarity. Thank you, Dr. Goode.

Thank you Greg Goode Sir 🙏🏻 Thank you Vedanta Society of New York for sharing this video 🌹

Thank you Greg. I especially like your insight that all words lead to Awareness. All perceptions, all feelings, all thoughts. Arise, Abide and Subside. As That, In That, nothing but That. Thanks again.

Dear Sir, I appreciate your effort and enthousiasme to talk us through the most frequent questions we have about becoming one with all that is. I agree that what you say is, just abandon all the teachings of respectful organisations like Christianity, Buddhism, Vedanta and many more. They all do contribute to greater insight and comprehension of the difficult topic of becoming one with all that there is. After 40 years I know that that moment has to descend from heaven literally. Books and lessons helped me on my path to greater inside, especially Sri Shankara lessons who are so profound and touching like no others (that is not objective, but my personal feel).

"Heaven" is within you, let the light inside , the flame, grow stronger and consume "you", melt down.
