Integral Life Practice (Apr 29 2007) part 4

1:02 - enlightenment is not an experience

3:40 - does artificially induced states of consciousness detract from the benefits of a "pure" meditation practice? do binaural beats programs have the same or additional transformative potentials as regular meditation?

4:10 - there will always be some who just are never going to be able to meditate

4:32 - theta (UR) correlates with the subtle level (UL)

5:19 - there's a danger of developing a dependence on binaural beats programs, locking you in to their experience

9:11 - these programs are not completely valueless, but very limited

20:33 - consciousness is the ground from which all manifest existence arises

21:32 - why is there something rather than nothing? - Schelling

22:03 - it's no fun having dinner alone

22:23 - creation is a way to play

24:55 - the Kadampas prayed for troubles and obstacles, not so that they could suffer, but so that they could have endurance and tolerance for pain, and dissolve the self-other boundary

25:29 - if you retract from the point of exhaustion, you're missing the chance for transformation

31:12 - realization restores humor
