I Is a Movement
48:49

|
Ajahn Sucitto

The average person operates under the assumption they are a person having experiences. If we look more deeply, we recognize it’s just experience, and experience creates the sense of a person having experiences. The ‘I’ who does things is the movement of kamma. ‘Myself’ is the results of what I hold into – what I incline to becomes the fundamental quality of ‘me.’

It seems that the interplay between ignorance and consciousness is an on-going dance--within ourselves, in our relationships and within our society. Understanding this dance can help us hold it all with greater equanimity.
(At the time of the talk James was under the impression that the UK vote in process would have the country remain in the EU. As it turned out the vote ended up the other way.)

Reconnecting with our Lives - Healing from Dissociation
1:14:29
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
Dissociation is the universal mechanism for pulling away from the pain of “too much.” While it’s necessary and natural for enduring certain situations, the ongoing habit of dissociation cuts us off from our full aliveness, creativity, and capacity for love. This talk explores the process by which we disconnect from our bodies and feelings - individually and collectively - and the practices that directly enable us to include the “unlived life" - the fear and shame, passion and loneliness - that we’ve pushed away. By including the raw energies we’ve been avoiding, we come home to a fullness that can embrace others and the whole of life.

The Ambiguity of Self and World
37:04
|
|
Martin Aylward
|
|
|
We rely on a sense of certainty and familiarity with how things are, yet when we look closely our experience is uncertain and always presenting anew. Martin looks at the big reference points for our experience; Life, Death, Self and World, pointing to a liberating way of understanding and relating to them that is free of the narrowness of certainty.

Martin Aylward
|
|

Martin explores the twin aspects of Wisdom and Love, as they are expressed in relating to our experience. He looks at the compulsions that easily takes up space in our consciousness, and shows how we can soften around them, and at the tendency to be intolerant, both of ourselves and others, and how we can be forgiving and gracious with our own humanness.
