Meditation, Meaning
Myth & Magic
with Daniel M. Ingram
Daniel and I meander our way around a number of Dharma topics in each episode discussing our thoughts and sharing our own experiences.
This was recorded in 2020 and early 2021. If you like listening at 2x speed, you can use a Soundcloud Downloader to download the episodes.
Part I: the balance of meditating on direct sensate experience and meaning, where meaning comes from, imaginal practice and portal jumping
Part II: one sense door, religion and ritual and setting resolutions in practice
Part III: making room for different types of practices including the dark stuff, working towards a science of understanding spirituality, defining your own awakening and fire kasina and imaginal practice
Part IV: the shape of attention, formations, the Universe unfolding and balancing transcendence with an intimacy with life
Part V: emptiness, its different meanings and generally using words better in meditation and awakening
Part VI: creativity, journeying, imagination, and the richness of practice
Part VII: attainments, Buddhahood, issues of karma, causality, immediacy, metaphor, interdependence and social and performative designations
Part VIII: stories of darkness and suffering on the path, individual and collective trauma and practicing together for healing
