A conversation with Tim Freke about Advaita Vedanta, or Non-Dualism, We talk about this Indian philosophy and look at how similar and different it is to different strands of the perennial philosophy. We also examine how it has developed since coming to the West and whether there are potential pitfalls with it.

A conversation with philosopher Tim Freke about the mythical Gnostic figure of the Demiurge, the lesser God who creates the material Cosmos. The Gnostics used the Demiurge to explain how a God of pure love could end up creating a universe of suffering.   We talk about how the image of the Demiurge has been recycled through the ages right up until the present day, from films like The Matrix to the theories of David Icke.

I talk with philosopher Tim Freke about the philosophy of idealism, the view that the material world arises out of consciousness (as it does in a dream) and not the other way round. This flips on its head our ordinary way of seeing the world.   Tim talks about whether life is indeed like a dream.

I host a discussion between philosopher Tim Freke and physicist Jude Currivan, centred around the themes in Jude's new book, The Cosmic Hologram and Tim's book Soul Story. We discuss Jude's view on what quantum physics is telling us about the nature of reality and whether it is pointing towards a particular metaphysical position. The discussion then moves along to look at how the views we hold on the fundamental nature of reality effect our behaviour on a personal and political level.

I talk with philosopher Tim Freke about how becoming more conscious changes the way we can relate to others. We touch on issues of social phobia, having a more authentic connection with family and knowing when it's right or wrong to leave a relationship. We discuss how a sense of inner security and acceptance radically shifts our ability to engage with these issues and decisions.

I talk with Tim and Robert about non-dual spirituality and what impact it can have on political activism. Does a non-dual philosophy imply certain political/economic positions? How does an awareness of a deeper sense of identity affect the way we dialgoue? How does it speak to the sense of despondency activist may suffer from when confronting the impossible? Does it leave a person optimistic for the future?
