Burgs ' The Silence is Always There' Interview by Iain McNay.

Has been teaching meditation in Europe and Asia since 1998. He initially trained as the main assistant to the Balinese meditation teacher and healer Merta Ada and helped him set up his Meditation school in Indonesia. The Healing meditation practices he learnt during this period, heavily influence Burgs' current teaching practice, which have a strong emphasis on the application of meditation in the maintenance and cultivation of physical and mental health. While learning from Merta Ada, he also trained in Chi Kung with a number of well-known Taoist teachers in Asia, and today integrates many of these practices into his teaching system. Went on to learn meditation from the Venerable Pa Auk Sayadaw in Burma. He was personally tutored by the Sayadaw, and became the first Westerner to complete the entire series of 40 Samatha meditation practices as described by the Buddha.
After disrobing as a monk in Burma, he was asked to visit the Tibetan Light Master, His Holiness Dodrupchen Rinpoche, who gave him the direct Dzogchen Mind Transmissions and subsequently recognised his attainment of some of the highest levels of Dzogchen practice. Since then, Burgs has been teaching both meditation and Chi Kung in the UK. He has a deep grounding and understanding in all aspects of meditation and energetic cultivation, and has a profound appreciation of how different spiritual practices and traditions fit together as a whole. He can directly perceive the mechanics of the mind and body, and can help elucidate the relationship between these aspects of ourselves

Thank you! This showed me that being fully immersed in the propagation of plants in my garden, and allowing all attention to stay on the process of doing has drawn me into the very stillness o which you speak, and time and future especially do not enter my mind during this immersion. Truly a blessing.

Iain, you are a good soul. Burgs has real world practical applications. most teachers, God bless them throw out statements that sound good but a lay person on the way to awakening cannot use.
you got stretch out your legs more often. ha

[@ariseshine100]

We need to remember that the human personality and the spiritual self are always in conflict that is why we are told that we must die and be born again. We are powerless against the carnal mind until we accept and realize that we are Spiritual beings. Realize and accept your identity that is from the beginning. A mystery indeed.

Good interview and Burgs explains very well. Then mostly Iain starts "yes, but..." and voices his doubtful mind (or that of his viewers). Ramana Maharshi once was asked: "What stands in the way of my knowing God or myself?" and he answered: "Your wandering mind and perverted ways". It's normal to have a doubting mind, but it gets its power from you believing in it. Stop thinking that your mind has anything to do with being a reliable model of reality. It doesn't. It knows nothing. It distorts everything. Leave it alone, turn away. Turn to stillness and reside there. Get comfortable with not knowing. Use the wisdom of your still brain and intuition.
