Portals to the Timeless

Recorded at an exclusive full-day workshop at the Spirit Rock Meditation Center, May 6, 2001. Since our everyday experience expresses the qualities of our true nature, the precise understanding of this relationship can function as a bridge to awakening and realization. Working with the relation of true nature to ego manifestations, we can use these manifestations as portals to the timeless truths of our true nature. 2-DVD's, 3.5 Hours. 2 week loan for set, suggested donation $10

The Essence of Creativity

This 2-DVD set makes available to the public presentations by A.H. Almaas and E.J. Gold that were part of a one-day art auction and discussion in Grass Valley, California, October, 2003.

The first disk is a talk given by A.H. Almaas on the experiential nature of creativity. He takes the audience on a fascinating journey to discover why being creative is so highly revered in our culture. He sees the narcissistic side in the desire to be recognized and appreciated as special and unique, but he also looks at the deeper longing to feel connected to the outflow of dynamic creative arising. This arising is the ultimate nature of everything emerging from the selfless source—the Absolute. From this, Almaas finds that creativity is truly a combination of generosity and service when it connects us to our deepest nature.

The second disk is primarily a question and answer process between Almaas, Gold and the audience on various topics including artistic passion, creative discipline and the essential artistic experience. 2 DVD's, approx. 110 Minutes. 2 week loan for set, suggested donation $10

The Essence of Intelligence

The Essence of Intelligence presents A. H. Almaas talking to a live audience in Amsterdam in June, 2006, at a book signing for his just- released book, Brilliancy. In his talk, Almaas addresses the question of how a spiritual perspective can inform our understanding of human intelligence. He describes intelligence as more than just a characteristic of functioning, and more than a capacity that makes our thinking or actions effective. Intelligence is fundamentally a presence of pure consciousness, a specific perfection of our spiritual nature that we can experience directly. This quality, which Almaas calls Brilliancy, has a radiant brightness, a liquid smoothness, and an exquisite elegance that, when realized, allows it to transform our capacities and benefit all aspects of human life. 1 DVD, 90 minutes. 2 week loan, suggested donation $10
