OUT OF OUR MINDS
Celebrating One Year of Production and The 25th Episode

There are not many podcasts or magazines for those interested in nonduality or enlightenment, and most were too long and verbose in Eric Putkonen’s opinion. In this day and age, who has time to read long articles and watch or listen to long programs? So, Eric started producing in Minnesota and publishing online a bi-weekly podcast last year that is only about fifteen minutes in length. The podcast focuses on nonduality and the “Direct Path” traditions (Advaita Vedanta, Zen Buddhism, Jnana Yoga, etc.).

A year after the podcast was first started, Out of Our Minds has listeners from all over the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, and throughout the rest of the world. All the episodes produced are currently available online on Eric’s website; among some of the most popular episodes are “Life Is But a Dream” (episode 1), “Effortless Enlightenment” (episode 5), and “Nonduality and the Mobius Strip” (episode 10).

A listener from Australia emailed Eric to say, “I wanted to thank you for your podcasts. I find them very enjoyable and your energy very supportive of my enlightenment process. I always look forward to your next installment. You are doing great work.”

Eric Putkonen, the host and producer of Our of Our Minds, is a modern-day mystic and yogi. After searching for thirteen years and awakening in 2005, he has made himself available to whomever wished to speak with him, started the podcast, and has published several articles in local spiritual magazines. His website, Awaken to Life, can be found at http://www.awaken2life.org.
