- Vipashyna makes us look at misperception and how misperceptions cause suffering.In Alistair Clips26 April 2024And that is why one of your countrymen, William Blake, said “If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.” We perceive through our biocomputer, which is different from the biocomputer of other beings, and to complicate things more, the software of our mind is molded by our culture, by the time we are living, by our very own DNA! That is why it is so important to go back, and back and back till the source of all perception recognizes itself. Since you mentioned the Vedanta parallels and Ramana Maharshi, let me recommend to all this extraordinary Advaita Vedanta teacher, which during this meditation mentions an analogy similar to the one of the banana, but using a flower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3vddQwxA48 Please take the time to watch it, it is worth it. I send my best to all.31

- Chögyam Trungpa on why Shamata practice makes you Adult.In Sharing Space·18 April 2024We had a lovely session of shamata practice this morning and I read this quote from Trungpa’s The Path of Individual Liberation p 232 If you don't have a good relationship with yourself, you cannot understand the dharma, and your body and mind will not be properly coordinated. The practice of meditation helps you to coordinate your body and your mind. You realize that your mind can be directed to a particular effort, that your mind works. Through shamatha you are able to raise your mind to an adult level. Your mind does not jump all over the place whenever you try to do something. In this samsaric world, most of you have grown up physically, but psychologically you are very young. You can't concentrate. You can't eat even one good meal properly because your mind is constantly jumping all over the place. The basic message of shamatha practice is that your mind could be as adult as your body.3131
- A space for healing thoughts?In Sharing Space·15 April 2024Some years ago I was in a group where we took it in turns to send distance healing at a certain time. All folk needed to do was send a name. Would anyone be interested if Alistair thought it was suitable? There was no need for zooms. Just thinking ‘ aloud’! I haven’t been able to join as our broadband has been very poor and I’m away for the next few weeks. Thanks ☺️1144
