   I’m quite happy for your new show! I’ve really enjoyed the conversations, particularly #3, since it was a bit easier to hear Bob, not that I’m complaining. Cameron, you make a fine host, keeping things “real”. Please continue to have Bob elaborate on the idea that, even though we ‘don’t’ have a body, why do we suffer when someone throws a brick at our head? And if our flesh changes cells and particles completely, then how come my body still has the same scar (on my hand ) that I’ve had since I was 12?

   Keep up the fine work!

   Thanks for the feedback Mark! Bob’s a quiet guy, so I’m testing different recording approaches. Re the scars… I’ve often wondered about the same thing! I’ve asked a number of biologists this same question, and the best we’ve been able to come up with is that because the scars are fibrous tissue, made of special fibroblast cells, during mitosis they produce new scar tissue. Scar tissue cannot produce normal skin cells during mitosis.

   Re the brick scenario – I’ll put that to Bob, but I suspect he’ll answer that the body experiences the pain, but are *you* the body?

   Cameron,

   Love the irreverent comments about Californians! The spiritual lingo is so prevalent here that we have a Ben and Jerry’s ice cream named , “Nirvana” something. Keep up that poking fun at style, it’s a hoot! As well, the simple, ordinary questions are very refreshing from the non-dual lingo surup!
   Sure, we are not really humans, but I feel it is important to show the human-ness and the ordinary-ness of what this Aliveness is all about. Life goes on so to speak…
   I can feel the fun in the atmosphere. I wish I was there to hang out in that humor and the curiosity.
   Bob’s mentoring did its swift, samurai stroke on me…it all fell a part.

   take it easy Bro
   Brian

   refreshing and real … Bob is an international treasure … i am soooo happy to have spent a few days with him and these ‘podcasts’ are a wonderful space of that resonance that is so palpable in his presence … and is who we all really are. Undeniable and always fresh, like Bob himself, this aliveness … there is a desire arising here that these non-words of no-wisdom be heard by seekers … so that the seeker can be seen as the phantom it always was…

   Much love to you Cameron, and to you, Bob… and to all that find their way to This … may all apparent dreamed-beings know their true-nature NOW.

   Cameron, I nearly wet myself with laughter when you needled Eliot. “Now could you state that in English?” Hilarious! And we are all targets, not just Eliot.

   Anyway, my nascent take on this podcast’s topic is that I am just ordinary garden-variety awareness. There’s nothing surreal or exotic about ordinary awareness and since it already exists it can’t be attained.

   How could I be anything else? I’m not my body or my mind because my body and mind appear within ordinary awareness. I can infer a story about there being a body “first” and how that body “later” expresses awareness, but that inference is just an idea occurring in awareness. There are many interesting implications to this but anyone who really grasps this has grasped it all and can work it out for themselves.

   Thanks!
