OM School Live
Conversations with a Master Spiritual Teacher. Explore everything spiritual through the deepest self-inquiry as student Lisa Berry asks Master Spiritual Teacher GP Walsh the kinds of questions you would ask an elder, a wise man, or a sage and receive direct, simple, comprehensive, and deeply human lessons and teachings. GP has been teaching for over 30 years and is skilled in many differing spiritual practices and traditions. Lisa, a veteran broadcast and 5 time bestselling author, is new to non-dual self-inquiry. This combination of GP's wisdom of experience and the freshness of Lisa's new discoveries creates a truly unique and approachable setting for exploring the most important question in the human kingdom, "Who am I really?" Regular hour long episodes will be interspersed with talks from GP, excerpts from his weekly satsangs and transformational meditations. This show can be watched live every Tuesday at 12pm Eastern and GP's satangs can be watched every Sunday at 3pm Eastern. Both are feely available at https://YouTube.com/GPWalsh.

Right Action... Wrong Place
Bart: "They ruined my childhood!:
Lisa: "Your childhood is currently happening
That humorous title sums up our current clumsy means of dealing with human suffering.
No one can deny the fact of human misery. But wouldn't you think, that after all this time, we might have a clue as to how to alleviate it?
For literally thousands of years we have been scratching our collectives nose when it is our universal bu...

“I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” – Albert Einstein
World War III does not loom in the future. We are in it right now and have been for a while.
Wars are a result not a cause. The actual armed conflict is the last step in a long process. We tend to think only of the gunfire and bombs as the war but the war begins long before the first shot sounds. N...

Resolving the Conflict Between Love & Attachment
“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.” ― Rumi
In our modern approach to the human necessity of relationship we often try to draw a hard line. We insist that love and attachment are opposites and you have to let go of one in order to experience the other.
Ah, life is not so s...

"And suddenly you realize: you are in every dot of the universe vanishing and arising.” - Amit Ray
Desire is one of those hopelessly ambiguous things that gets either denounced as the cause of suffering or held to be the ultimate goal. We are either monks or hedonists. Neither is accurate!
Let's take a step back and look at this inevitable and natural function of the human system. Without desire life is impossible. In its essence it ...

"Unable to perceive the shape of You, I find You all around me. Your presence fills my eyes with Your love, It humbles my heart, For You are everywhere." - Poem from the film, The Shape of Water
One of the difficulties of being a spiritual teacher is I can talk about what is true directly. I can't point to something and say there it is.
Lacking this, I am forced into the use of similes, metaphors, stories, inferences, parables. One ...

"Adam, where art thou?" - God
Shortly after the fall from grace the all-seeing God went looking for Adam and Eve. Obviously not on his omniscience game that day he called out "Adam, where art thou?"
Where indeed.
Adam responded that he was hiding. When the all-knowing asked him "Why?" the recalcitrant, literally born yesterday human responded, "I was ashamed."
For centuries now adults and children alike have been tormented by the idea ...

"No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks - Mary Wallstonecraft
This have been a question that has perplexed human beings as long as evil has existed. And in fact, evil is a relatively recent invention.

“We already are That for which we are seeking." - Papaji
Have you ever spent time looking for your keys or sunglasses only to find that they were in your hand all along?
Of course, everybody has. It is a fascinating and mysterious phenomenon of the human mind that we can simply not see what it right in front of us, even filtering out what is touching our skin. That is the power of perception and the power of our a...

"Tear off the mask. Your face is glorious." - Rumi
If the soul is on a journey, to where is it headed?
Has it left eternity to wander through time?
Has it lost its anchor in the cosmos?
Did it begin like a newborn some aeons ago?
Is there some terminus, some destiny that awaits?
Must it learn to see its own glorious face?
When we speak of the heart and soul of something, we speak of its essence. We speak of the raw reality, stripped of al...

“If you're really a mean person you're going to come back as a fly and eat poop.” ― Kurt Cobain
The most difficult, tenacious and subtle of all the unconscious beliefs that govern our lives, none compares to the VOW!
So what exactly is a vow? let me give you an example.
Here are a bunch of common, unconscious beliefs we hold
I can't make enough money
I can't find a good man
I can't get my needs met

Did you know our ancestors, the hunter/gatherers, had a work week of just 20 hours. Yes, they worked only 20 hours a week.
When you consider all of our ancestors going way back that means we all did that for literally millions of years. That is how our bodies were meant to function.
Have you wondered why you feel tired most of the time?
It isn't because the body is physically exhausted. It's not like you're working the farm 16 hours a...

Funny the things we know by heart but never stop to think about what they mean.
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
"Life is but a dream?"
"What?" ...or perhaps put more aptly... "WTF?"
It seems obvious that the boat is you and the stream is your life and it is a beautiful guidance to walk (or row) gently through life. Be gentle towards yourself and everything and everyone ...

A New Year Contemplation
It's that time of year again!.
It is the time of:
Slogans
Self-promises
Endless memes and, of course,
Unused gym memberships
It is the time of year when we learn that the habits of the last year (often carried over from prior years) do not suddenly step aside and congratulate you on your current enthusiasm. The problem, as I see it, is that we don't really understand or honor our needs. And we don't don't understa...

"Close your eyes, fall in love, stay there." - Rumi
Love is not a business. It doesn't keep score or accounts. It accumulates no credits or points and seeks no awards.
Like the sun, which does not meter its constant flow of light, love by its very nature is unconditional.
That means no conditions. It does not have prerequisites. It is not tit for tat (is that still an expression.) In short, it is not transactional. It is not a busines...

Change Comes from the Weirdest Places
When I was a kid I lived in the midwest of the U.S. Although all the open fields and farms that used surrounded us eventually got gobbled up by the burgeoning suburbs, for a time it was a relatively rural area.

Healing modalities have come a long way since the time of using leeches as a blood purifier and whiskey as an anesthetic. And psychology has come an infinitely long way from Freud.
These healing modalities all revolve around the idea that the body, and indeed our entire experience of life, are created and sustain by the flow of energy. This is not a new idea. It has been embodied in Chinese medicine for millennia. It is referred to ...
