Description

Gangaji – Spiritual Traps (2005)Gangaji, born Merle Antoinette (“Toni”) Roberson in Texas in 1942, is an American author, speaker, sometimes considered a lay or spiritual counselor, teacher or “guru”. A student of Papaji, she has met with people in the U.S., Europe, and Australia since 1990,  in what she calls an invitation to “discover the possibility of living your life in the freedom and joy of simply being.”“There is no self to be liberated. There is only the Self, which is beyond liberation and can never be bound. But your ideas of yourself can be liberated, and they are naturally set free when they are met in stillness, in silence, in the heart.” The mind thinks in terms of exclusion: This is good and that is bad; I want this and I don’t want that; in order to be spiritual, I should feel that and not this. The mind is even capable of believing in the concept of no-mind, and launching a battle to exclude thought. In this compilation of meetings and conversations, Gangaji invites us to set aside all spiritual beliefs and discover what is already here, already known, deeper and closer than any memory or imagination…..
