Awakening at the Edge: Dharma as Refuge and Response in Times of Collapse.
40:00
|
Thanissara
|
|
As the old myths of our civilization crumble, in their place, fear, division, and the architecture of fascism are rapidly rising. As the Jungian analyst Edward Edinger warned, when a central myth breaks down, meaning drains away, and primal, unprocessed forces rush in.
How then do we understand this immense historic moment? We can take courage from the Buddha, who also lived in a world burning with greed, hatred, and delusion. He didn’t always succeed. Yet he still stood before armies, spoke truth, and acted with compassion. Even when outcomes are uncertain, we too are called, at this time, to step forward with clarity, compassion, and steadfastness.

How then do we understand this immense historic moment? We can take courage from the Buddha, who responded to a world burning from greed, hatred, and delusion with profound wisdom. Even when outcomes are uncertain, we too are called, at this time, to step forward with clarity, compassion, and steadfastness.

Healing and Liberation in Times of Activation and Entanglement

We live in times when fear, greed and anxiety provoke our hearts & minds daily. Often, we relate to these triggers in ways that only amplify agitation and conflict in and around us. The Buddha’s teachings and practices help us uncover the stabilizing, tenderizing, and liberating force of wisdom and awareness. Wisdom and awareness is the necessary antidote for troubled hearts in troubled times.

Longing for the Sacred

With so much violence and insensitivity all around us, we can lose touch with our love for what is sacred. All that is required is a heightened sensitivity to tune into what is always around us.

You Are Loving Awareness
45:21
|
James Baraz
|
|
Seeing sacredness, not only around us, but focusing inside the one who is perceiving. This mind/body (YOU) that is interacting with the world around it. I use Ram Dass's practice of seeing beyond this mind/body by abiding in the perspective "I Am Loving Awareness". This is where the devotional and non-dual meet.
To aid in this exploration James shares some powerful cuts from the album Ram Dass, a collaboration of Ram Dass's voice and teachings with background music by East Forest, who will be offering a hybrid concert "Echoes of Ram Dass" at Spirit Rock October 19, 2025.
