About this episode
Ivan Rados (Atma) is a meditation master who was born in Former Yugoslavia. At the age of 42 he experienced a profound inner awakening that changed his perception of himself and the reality, after which Atma was devoted to integrating his knowing into his being, marking the beginning of a movement towards the inner point, which he calls The Middle Point. He started teaching meditation regularly from his healing studio in Vancouver. As a healer, Atma is a true master of both himself and his life. Ivan asserts that he heals no one but simply helps people heal themselves through the power of Consciousness. His journey reads like a book of miracles, which he modestly labels “ordinarinesses.” The wisdom he shares comes from his deep roots in the One-Self, the source of everything. Atma has assisted thousands in reconnecting with their state of health, in personal, group and long-distance sessions. Atma is not associated with any particular spiritual movement, religion or tradition. Atma's deep and authentic rooting in the unknown provides him the insight and ability to be of great service to the evolution of Consciousness in these most transformative of times. Ivan travels extensively, taking his knowingness throughout the world, facilitating meditation classes, talks, intensives, and retreats. ivanrados.com middlepointpublishing.com facebook.com/ivanradosart twitter.com/ivanrados issuu.com/ivanrados Books: Transform Your Life Through Sacred Geometry Health: It's All About Consciousness The Middle Point Create Yourself - Secrets of Self Discovery and Healing with Sacred Geometry Transcript of this interview Interview conducted 5/13/2017 YouTube Video Chapters: 00:00:00 - Introduction to Buddha at the Gas Pump 00:03:43 - Leaving Yugoslavia and Cutting Off the Past 00:07:41 - Seeking Guidance from Grandma 00:10:54 - The Experience of Blankness and Failure 00:14:59 - The Collapse and Breakthrough 00:18:53 - The Illusion of the Mind 00:22:45 - The Path of Least Action 00:25:56 - The Relationship between Mind, Energy, and Wholeness 00:30:06 - The Unconscious Creation of the Mind 00:33:21 - The Hollow Tube of Consciousness 00:37:22 - Getting Out of the Mind 00:41:04 - The Illusion of Climbing the Mountain 00:45:22 - Moving from Concepts to Experience 00:48:41 - Teaching Individuals through Meditation 00:52:42 - The Power of Mantras 00:56:18 - Being Fully Present in the Moment 01:00:04 - The Battle Between Good and Evil 01:04:05 - The Power of Words and Art 01:08:14 - Looking at the Mind and Yantras 01:12:47 - The Power of Yantras in Meditation 01:16:55 - Freedom within constraints 01:20:29 - Understanding the Master-Disciple Relationship 01:24:22 - You are the Center of the Universe 01:27:50 - Starting from the Beginning 01:31:31 - The Theory of Big Bang and Anxiety 01:35:03 - The Course of Existence 01:38:43 - The Universe's Constant Expansion and Contraction 01:42:04 - The Holographic Universe and Consciousness 01:45:53 - The Holographic Nature of Reality 01:49:54 - The Stillness and Tranquility Within 01:53:15 - Invitation to Explore the Website Save
