Welcome to Buddha at the Gas Pump (BatGap)

Ordinary people everywhere are undergoing a shift to a more awakened state of consciousness, thus transforming their understanding of themselves and the world. For some, the awakening has been abrupt and dramatic. For others, it has been gradual.

Such shifts, or “awakenings,” are not new: Christ spoke of the “Kingdom of Heaven within,” Buddhists speak of Nirvana, Zen masters of Satori, Hindus of Moksha, but these traditions generally regard these states as rare and difficult to attain. These BatGap conversations attempt to dispel skepticism and misconceptions by allowing otherwise ordinary people to relate their experiences of spiritual awakening (although, language is inadequate to fully convey it).

“A huge number of people are going through the process of awakening, some in the early stages, some in later stages, and it’s wonderful to see.” — Eckhart Tolle

We also conduct conversations with scientists researching higher consciousness and those whose work or service contributes to raising collective consciousness.

Perhaps those listening to these conversations will become convinced, as we are, that genuine and permanent spiritual awakenings are real and becoming more commonplace. But most of all we hope to uplift and enrich your understanding of what is possible.

“Spiritualization of material life is the real need of the modern world. We want Christs and Buddhas walking the busy streets of New York and esplanades of Calcutta … When all duties of this imperfect earth will be performed by angelic men and women … then our earth will be heaven, and darkness will be changed into light.” — Paramahansa Yogananda
