One Human Journey: The Power of Meditation: Voices of Students (Part One)
http://onehumanjourney.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-power-of-meditation-voices-of.html
Saturday, May 2, 2015. The Power of Meditation: Voices of Students (Part One). I teach many groups of meditation students but they’re usually drop-in classes. People come and go, and there’s often not a lot of interaction outside of class. It’s hard to know whether they are practicing at all in their daily lives, and even harder to gauge the effects that meditation might be having outside the classroom or yoga studio. Our soft spot, what Chogyam Trungpa called the “genuine heart of sadness.R...Through...

One Human Journey: Civilization and Its Discontents
http://onehumanjourney.blogspot.com/2015/07/civilization-and-its-discontents.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Civilization and Its Discontents. People who are really happy with themselves are f* *ing boring. The worst word in the world is content.". 8212; Kevin Spacey, who turned 56 on Sunday. But I disagree with Spacey’s statement.

And contentment is one of the secret, neglected keys to spiritual awakening and self-realization. 8213; Lao Tzu. 8220;Be content with what you have;.

One Human Journey: Freedom's Just Another Word
http://onehumanjourney.blogspot.com/2015/07/freedoms-just-another-word.html
Monday, July 6, 2015. Freedom's Just Another Word. This weekend, as a nation, we celebrated Independence Day. This got me thinking about the notion of freedom, which was the theme of my meditation class last night. Ordinarily when we talk about freedom we’re talking about something that comes from outside. It’s given to us, or we fight for it, or we earn it somehow. We often think of freedom as the right to do whatever we want (within reasonable limits imposed by law and society). What about freedom from...
