This is excellent!!! I will listen to this again and again.

Thank you so much for this talk. This is an important topic. I find it truly helpful.

For Thinkofit: Check out Being Dharma by Ajahn Chah. Plus Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach. Both are SO GOOD!

Thank you my dear guru.

You’re a good man, Rick Hanson

“A shock absorber … a spaciousness around the space …. a circuit breaker” very helpful explaining, thank you!

This single talk has given me more opening to my being than many other promises... Rick, I really need to focus on this quality of mind to cultivate can you offer a suggestion an book of yours or others to read or work with? I have tuned in, spiritually and have been responded to, but I would like an "ordinary world" option too and think you are a great teacher :) Anyone else offer book recommendations?

If we are all one -- the idea that "they" too am "I"-- how do we maintain anything of our individual progress spiritually, such as you refer "realized" when such levels of presence are rare in our world that is socially engineered for immaturity and ignorance.... where even those who are highly trained in a scolastic spiritual way (e.g. "buddah" consciousness) are still very enmeshed in the deceptions of a self-proclaimed "ruling class" "elite" who are really just conniving narcissists who employ lies to control the use of resources, undermine the spiritual liberty of each? Yes, we are all connected, as we see in multiple cases of those who have gained at the expense of others ("karma); yes we are all interconnecrted as we see with the extremely important and all encompasing issue of life-defeating electrosmog from wireless tech that poisons all when just ONE person chooses to buy into the network....I am connected through the threads of love, but I am most definitely distinct and separate... I do not want to be enraveled in such evil as we see with the deception rolling out with a "pandemic" that for some "odd" reason requires a new monetary system. Please read the Invisible Rainbow by Arthur Firstenberg if you are sold on the lies hook line and sinker... please listen to those who have warned of the dollar collapse; please listen to experts in the field of destructive narcissism such as Nina Brown who explain what is essentially the root of evil, the false self, the belief system of self that mistakes some as superior and others as inferior (all malignant concepts embedded into money... all money... politics is not the issue).

It is hard to hear of "compassion" in the same discussion where glaring ignorance that leads to grave harm to others is part of an example of application. Rick, I know your heart wants to be in it's right place but my heart really sunk when you used the commercial of a beagle finding a cellphone as "cute." To those that are electrohypersensitive, a disabled minority populatiion that is extremely and aggressively discriminated against in a realy, bodily harm way, a cellphone is a symbol of aggression, social apathy, discrimination, contempt (for anything perceived "weak" or life when conflicted with profit), narcissistic destruction of life to the point of driving the 6th extinction event.... and more horrible things. It totally tainted this talk for me. I remember you mentioning that you suffer from tinnitus. This has been identified by the most qualified scientist in the field of bio effects of toxic, artificial, man-made electromagnetic fields from wireless tech as the ONLY symptom experienced by ALL electrohypersensitives. Originally, EHS was called neurasthenia when observed in telephone operators, radio workers... later when it was experienced commonly among fit and healthy military radar operators, it was aptly named microwave sickness. Today, the industry has given us the EHS moniker. Perhaps industry, which has renounced all liability for the damage of their electrosmog whilie taking all the profits, wants to give the impression that there is something wrong with those who were poisoned, that they were just "weak" or something and that "evolution" should just weed them out? Or that those with EHS are the only ones harmed (so not true...even our plants and animals are hurting and they are well grounded to earth). Rick please listen to the experts on this issue and avoid the pitfalls of listening to "authorities" who are merely motivated by big money. Professor Olle Johansson here has. a great talk for anyone willing to be responsible and educate themsevlves. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZ6Xe6qF09LYqH0.html Listening to the human evidence is an excellent source of information, as it cuts through the corruption of money that usually even science has to jump through, as it too requires money. Kim Goldberg at refugium has a great site with many testimonials of human evidence. Wearetheevidence by Tachover is another resource. manhattanneighbors.org is another trustworthy resource.... Dr. Martin Pall is excellent... Dr. Magda Havas... Dr. Trevor Marshall... Military research such as the 1971 naval medical glaser report is quite convincing... they have more but that is a good start.
