Deathless Neverborn

Episode 1: Brian and Jason introduce themselves and the podcast

And so it begins… Episode One of Deathless Neverborn is here!   This is Jason Traeger writing. My co-host Brian Gathy and I will take turns writing show notes for our forthcoming episodes. I don’t like writing in third person because it doesn’t feel authentic to me and if a podcast about Mindfulness, Buddhism and Non-Dual Understanding is about anything, it’s about keeping it real. Episode One is a freewheeling conversation between Brian and I where we present a rough sketch of our personal stories and ‘spiritual journeys’ thus far. We also explore the inspiration and motivation behind the project and some of the possibilities we can imagine going forward. Whether you’re here from the beginning or listening back from future days to see where this thing started, we’re honored and happy to share the conversation with you! Thank you for listening. Quote of the episode: “In reality you were not born and never shall die. But now you imagine that you are, or have, a body and you ask what has brought about this state. Within the limits of illusion the answer is: desire born from memory attracts you to a body and makes you think as one with it. But this is only from the relative point of view. In fact, there is no body, nor a world to contain it; there is only a mental condition, a dream-like state, easy to dispel by questioning its reality”                                                                        -Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
