The recognition of higher states of consciousness is a recurring theme that is evident in all cultures throughout history.
What is the basis of our conscious experience—the cycle of waking, dreaming, and sleeping?
The simplest state of awareness is a self-referral state. It is a field of all possibilities.
As the physicist Eddington said, ”The stuff of the world is mind stuff.” The ancient Yoga Vasistha likewise teaches that this world appears material, but is ultimately pure consciousness.
These profound insights infer that consciousness is all there is, and we are not in the world; the world is within us.
Welcome to Simplest State where we examine these understandings and explore the very nature of consciousness and self-realization.

With only a few precious hours left on earth–a miracle–a donor organ becomes available!
His heart stopped for 6 minutes during surgery, but John's will was strong and he's here today to share profound insights into his Catholic upbringing, the expansion of his horizons at that mecca of the psychedelic counterculture–Haight-Ashbury, the realization that drugs did not provide the answers he was seeking, and his subsequent pursuit of higher knowledge and enlightenment with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
John describes in compelling detail the drama and emotion of his illness, his last days and hours, and the series of miraculous events that gave him "a 30-year extension to his train ticket," and an ethereal meeting with his donor.
We'll hear from John how these experiences have shaped his current perspective and we look forward to the release of his memoir, Bohemian U, which is the first volume of his upcoming autobiography, Satsang Junkie.
