The Eugene Halliday Podcast

Talk given at Parklands (Manchester, UK). 

Rather than discussing evolution in the conventional sense, Eugene Halliday argues that evolution presupposes involution: nothing can emerge unless it has first been enfolded within its source. Evolution (unfolding) and involution (enfolding) are therefore complementary phases of a single cosmic process.  The real question is not how for...

Talk given at Parklands (Manchester, UK) on 23rd October 1974. 

Eugene argues that the apparent opposition between a personal God and an impersonal universal field is false. Beginning with the scientific insight that matter is energy, he critiques both dualism (separate principles of good and evil, mind and matter) and classical monism, proposing instead an infinite, non-dual continuum of sentient power. Consciousness and matt...

"If opposition is necessary for our growth, how is it so many people and nations have been crushed by this very thing? Can you explain how they have benefited by being opposed?" 

So we’re going to consider this question of opposition ... how it is necessary. And we have to be very careful about people and nations. Many peoples have failed to recognise the necessity of the o...

Eugene responds to a question regarding non-attachment, articulating the relationship between the observer and the observed. 

"The observer is consciousness actually serving some object. The observed is the object receiving the energy from the consciousness. Now, consciousness can see quite easily without attachment at all. It can simply see, become aware of the nature of any object...The ...

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth". (2 Timothy 2:15; KJV)  

This verse implies "...that truth is divisible and yet truth is somehow whole."

"The word becoming means ceasing to be and coming to be other than it was. So the word becoming covers a concept of being and not being simultaneously... there’s a necessity for a resolution between the being that is, and the being that might be, and the non-being. The non-being and the ...

"Now this is very peculiar, that inside the one being...there can be a variety of minds. There can be a ‘pattern-mind’ [i.e. higher mind] that sees all, there can be a ‘time-mind’ [i.e. lower mind] that sees the thing it’s chasing at the moment, and there can...

It is identification and the need for gross material experience that causes this focusing on the slow, because the slow is e...

Talk given in Liverpool, UK, circa 1960s. 

We begin with a question from the audience: 

"...effectually, we have to work from the conceptual apparatus that we have, and this appears to be slower than the emotional apparatus. In other words if we get involved in a situation ...

The talk begins with Eugene reading a question from the audience - Are we ever tried more than we can bear? 

It is a common view amongst theologians that we are never tried more than we are able to bear the trial. How is this so? The key is to avoid looking backwards and acting based on the conditioning of your past experience.
