EP10 Being Comes from Wholeness

06/25/20 • 25 min

This is a somewhat more ontological type of episode. We go into why and how being comes from the infinite (Limitless, Wholeness, Consciousness, etc).
Basically we talk about the ontology of things being washed out if we take a materialistic view, and the only way of gaining an ontology is to assume the limitless.
(Maya has no real existence on its own. Brahman lend it Being.)
The limitless is unique. That uniqueness results in a holographic type of order.
The holographic type of order is the basis of the dynamics of physics and is the basis for describing real, actual, movement that includes entropy increase.
This chain of reason is one of the ways in which we see the relevance of the ontological types of discussions. They are not purely for philosophical enjoyment, but can be quite practical in terms of physics as well as in terms of personal realisation.
You can read about the philosophical ideas discussed this episode in more detail in chapter 2 of "Physics from Wholeness - Dynamical Totality as a Foundation for Physics".

EP9 What is Your Greatest Contribution to the World?

What is your greatest contribution to the world?
How can you reach your highest potential, so that you can offer the very best of you?
Oddly enough, this episode was inspired by a flying squirrel, on its way to realising its highest potential as a squirrel.
In the two previous episodes we already talked about how opening ones heart, increasing ones sensitivity and ability to love is a path of freedom and is essential if we wish to find out what our highest potential is. This is a path of love.
In this episode we talk about what the path of discovering who you are, has to offer. This is a path of knowledge, wisdom, and coupled with meditation it brings insight.
We also talk about the Ten Paramis (Generosity, Virtue, Renounciation, Wisdom, Energy, Patience, Truthfulness, Resolve, Loving kindness, and Equanimity), the Buddhist list of the ten Perfections, and how they can contribute to your life and the life of all who interact with you. This path involves action, but not empty action, or action out of obligation. Instead it is aligned action, where the action brings you a sense of expansion, freedom. This is a path of action, or karma.
The three paths lead us in the same direction. All ultimately culminate in spiritual liberation, freedom. They take us through our three ways of experiencing, through feeling, thinking, and perceiving.
The first starts with feeling and moves into love. Love is perceived when we "feel" unity. The second starts with thought and leads to awareness. Awareness is when we "know" unity. And the third starts with action and beauty. This is when we are unity.
These are the paths that lead us to being able to provide the world with our greatest contribution.

EP11 Defence Narratives

In this episode we talk about defence narratives, how we justify things to ourselves so that we may go on doing certain things or living with certain choices.
We take a look at two examples, both related to slavery. One is the hero narrative and the other is the victim narrative. One is a historical narrative, the other is a current narrative.
The historical narrative is taken from Barbra Freese ́s conversation with Joe Rogan about slavery. You can listen to it here https://youtu.be/cP0D2_jhqPU .
Then, we talk about an experiment that shows how quickly we can come up with narratives.
And finally we ask if there is a way out. Is it possible for us to stop ourselves from creating these narratives, that may even be leading to abuse and destruction?
In that discussion we note that since they are defence mechanisms they must involve a threat and we talk about how we can reduce the threat and increase our awareness.
