“There are so many parts of our experience which we don't like, we don't want to be there. We condemn, we judge, we push away-it can be difficult feelings in the body, difficult emotions, feelings of hatred, rage, unworthiness, loneliness, profound alienation. It can be so many things, so many parts of the mind that are the shadow side. The process of healing, the process of integration, is a willingness to open to all of those sides, to see the shadow in all its manifestation.” - Joseph Goldstein
In this episode, Joseph dives into:
- How we create the concept of duality/seperation (self and other, inside and outside, persona and shadow, etc.)
- Understanding our practice of Dharma as reintegrating and unifying
- Using mindfulness to shine light on our shadow by making the subconscious conscious
- Moving from the 'ego-center' to the 'zero-center' using the intermediate space of love (a very deep appreciation, respect, and openness for every moment's experience)
- Carlos Castaneda and the relationship between impeccability and emptiness
This episode recorded 11/29/1986 at the Insight Meditation Society was originally published on DharmaSeed

Joseph, you are the best Buddhist teacher I've ever had. There are no words to thank you for giving so much. Deep gratitude! May you be well and happy!

This is REALLY deep! I need to listen multiple times!

So intensely (for me) relatable this topic at the moment and yet Professor Joseph Goldstein deftly and wisely discusses and unveils and demystifies and parses!

Genghis: Why you say Professor? What does Professor have to do with this? 🙄

@genghisgalahad8465 Жыл бұрын

@@terefefeyssa877 uh, because he's teaching? Is that wrong to say?

Of course words are concepts, as yours are, repeated. Except Joseph speaks from experience...

I think 'Self Loss' is an inaccurate naming. It is realised there never was an inherent self. Nothing is lost in that realisation.

Yes. Once the construction is realised, the attachment can be considered but no attempt to modify or annul. The work is already done (but it’s a pity to say it 💕)

It depends on the prior realization of true self. I saw a young girl crying and and a little destabilized by the concept. She said, "I don't exist?" as she cried. For me it was shocking and joyful upon realization.

I feel so stupid. All I ever get out of these talks on Anatta is that the highest form of consciousness is a dead body. 😹 Kinda makes me just want to cut to the chase, you know?
