Once again, owing to Neil's unique style of delivery, this may have taken slightly longer than it needed to. But nonetheless, here are the 2nd two of the 4 Noble Truths!

In this second part of Neil's run down of Rupert Spira's "Being Aware of Being Aware", Lee gets to the very essence.... i.e. he is literally Googling the definition of "awareness".

It's time for Neil to get one of his little bullet point books out again and this time, even Lee isn't sure which one it is. For the avoidance of doubt, the book Neil is referring to is "Being Aware of Being Aware" by Rupert Spira! Can they make sense of it in a concise manner? Take a wild guess.

Lee & Neil have reached a point in their journey where it's time to talk to an expert. Enter: Bob the Buddhist (not his real name, obviously). Neil interviewed him in a typically Neil way, so what do you reckon was the first question he asked? Also, how many of The Beatles can Lee do a passable impression of? Find out here!

Neil's gone and got himself a tipi and he's lighting a fire in it, but ONLY because it's safe to do so! This week, the focus is on Wim Hof and how his method is enhancing Neil's meditative practice.

Neil's been on another retreat! Stop the press! Let the long-form, intricately detailed story-telling begin!! This week, we find out (in the first of two parts) how Neil got on when he arrived at a retreat that would prove to be a test for several reasons! What was it like? Did he let himself down?

He's had plenty of mentions in the ten episodes up to now, so it makes sense to spend a bit more time talking about Ram Dass! Find what you've been looking for (even though you don't know what it is) in an episode covering some of Neil's favourite Dass quotes. Like all the other episodes though, there's plenty of time for diversions; like anecdotes involving Tony Blackburn, why you might say something rude to a tree and the fact that "you are not your arms".

After 10 weeks of ups and downs, Neil feels that it's time to talk to Lee about how his meditation has been going, or rather, whether or not it's happening at all!

Find out how he's canvassed opinion and gathered evidence as to whether Lee's mood has changed and also, whether Lee will accept that something ought to be done!

Sometimes a title says it all. In the week leading up to Soccer Aid, Lee caught up with Neil to discuss the egoic mind, polishing the mirror and whether it's possible to meditate in a car at a campsite.

Accept that your mind will wonder. It's not a problem. If it does, just notice that it's happened and return to your breathing.

It's a good job we're thinking about time differently now, because this week, Lee & Neil do away with the concept of chronology completely!
