Podcast appearances and mentions of christopher titmuss

This is rebroadcasting of an episode with Juditta Ben-David.This is what it's about--passion, heart and helping others. And today, my guest exudes all of those elements. Today, I'm speaking with Juditta Ben-David, SEP M.A., founder of The Mindfulness in Arabic project (MiA).MiA has built a website that offers an eight-week Mindfulness course in Arabic, designed for refugees and people in transition. Any person with internet access may enter the website, free of charge, anywhere around the world. The course provides practical tools and exercises tailored specifically to support a shaken population that suffered traumas of fear, death and extreme violence.​ Juditta's website also provides tools for therapists, social workers, welfare workers, and volunteers who are currently working with refugee populations, so that they may use mindfulness-based tools for their own needs in coping with work stress and related DP camp difficult experiences, as well as passing them on to their clients.MiA developed out of the work of our founder, Juditta Ben-David, SEP M.A, in refugee camps in Turkey. Working there with refugees and their supporters/counselors and social-workers the request for additional tools led to a crowdfunding campaign raising one-half of the funds needed to launch our 8-week course. MiA is thankful to be supported by leading Mindfulness instructors like Jon Kabat Zinn, Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, Christopher Titmuss and Patricia Genoud-Feldman as well as Mindfulness providers like Headspace and Mindful Magazine. In This EpisodeJuditta's websiteContact JudittaMIA on FacebookDonate to The Mindfulness in Arabic projectElaine Miller-KarasPeter Levine---If you'd like to support The Trauma Therapist Podcast and the work I do you can do that here with a monthly donation of $5, $7, or $10: Donate to The Trauma Therapist Podcast.Click here to join my email list and receive podcast updates and other news.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.

In this episode I am joined by Duncan Barford, occult practitioner, counsellor, and author of ‘Occult Experiments in the Home'. Duncan discusses his own journey into the occult including reality-bending experiments with Chaos Magick, invocation of his holy guardian angel, identifying and relating to entities, and meeting his long-time collaborator, the magician and spiritual teacher Alan Chapman. Duncan recalls his first encounter with Daniel Ingram's “Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha”. He explains how he combined Daniel's approach with Western occult methods and rituals to attain arhatship for himself. Duncan declared his enlightenment on the internet and began teaching awakening in a short-lived venture called “Open Enlightenment”. Duncan reflects on the strongly negative reactions that both his declaration and teaching project received. Duncan also comments on demonic affliction, both his own experiences as well as those of recent podcast guest Mattias Daly, the influence of social class and geographic location, navigating kundalini crisis, the intersection of mysticism and magick. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep265-occult-experiments-duncan-barford Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:19 - Occult experiments in the home 02:38 - Duncan comments on Mattias Daly's demonic affliction 04:34 - Demonic or kundalini awakening? 06:27 - - Duncan's own kundalini crisis 08:44 - Seeking guidance from Tara Springett 11:39 - Identifying entities 14:19 - Duncan's specialism in counselling those having unusual occult experiences 17:05 - Finding the best paradigm 19:38 - Does Duncan prescribe magickal practice? 21:50 - Spirituality vs everyday life 24:42 - Meeting Alan Chapman and sustained interest in the occult 26:59 - Invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel 27:57 - Encountering Daniel Ingram and bringing awakening back to magick 30:31 - Duncan's childhood interest in the supernatural and strange 33:13 - Gothic horror and psychoanalysis 33:52 - Beginning to explore magickal practice 35:03 - Moving from intellect to feeling and emotion 36:32 - Abandoning a PhD, meditation frustration, and life crisis 44:12 - Encountering Chaos Magick and leaning to bend reality 46:26 - Envy of Daniel Ingram and reception in the Chaos Magick community 49:40 - Are mysticism and spirituality compatible with magick? 51:09 - Using magick to induce mystical experiences 52:44 - Declaring arhatship and attaining the four paths 57:45 - Powerful experience with Andrew Cohen 01:01:43 - Advice from Christopher Titmuss 01:03:50 - Dreaming of Gary Numan 01:05:25 - Is arhatship the end of enlightenment? 01:07:09 - Duncan asks Steve's opinion 01:09:07 - Did Duncan and Alan keep pace in their awakening path? 01:10:03 - The 3 doors and awakening with visions 01:13:39 - Fire kasina retreat with Daniel Ingram 01:16:26 - Why did Duncan declare arhatship? 01:17:59 - Ego inflation through magickal practice 01:19:08 - Negative responses to declaration of enlightenment 01:19:54 - Failure of Open Enlightenment and the compulsion to share one's awakening 01:24:49 - Is UK conducive to spiritual and magickal work? 01:27:27 - Reflections on being working class 01:28:33 - Travellers vs locals 01:29:15 - Comments on the spectrum of entities 01:31:09 - Discount code for the Baptist Head Compendium

"We must remember we are exhaustible. We need renewal. Silence, quietude, time alone, naturally gives that. Then we can come back in to serve others in small ways. That we do. Then we take time for renewal. Jesus, the Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi and all the great sages recognize the importance of connection with others to serve, then step back from that into quietness, then renewal, and then serve. This is the great rhythm of life." Christopher Titmuss, a former hippie turned Theravada Buddhist monk turned social critic, is Britain's senior Dharma teacher. Having once lived on 39 British pounds per year for ten years, he has sat beneath The Tree of Enlightenment in Bodhgaya, India and, so impacted by the experience, returned to Bodhgaya for years afterward to offer retreats there. For five decades, he has been teaching Dharma around the world for free. Living primarily on donations since 1970, Christopher has noted his intention to stay true to the spirit of dana, a practice of cultivating generosity. Christopher is a teacher of Awakening and Insight Meditation in the Buddhist tradition. He does not use the label 'Buddhist' for himself but expresses the deep benefits of his long-standing connection with the Buddhist tradition. He is the founder and director of the Dharma Enquiry Programme as well as co-founder of the Prajna Vihar School in India and Gaia House, an international retreat center in Devon, England. Many of the spiritual practices along with the Dharma talks and videos he offers also are freely available online, including a conversation between Christopher and Krishnamurti in 1984. Christopher was born on Earth Day in 1944, in County Durham, England. As a practicing Roman Catholic, he attended Catholic school as a boy, where he broke the school record for the number of times he was caned for his self-described prankster ways and a lack of cooperation. At age 15, he left school and began clerking in the newsroom for a Roman Catholic weekly before becoming a reporter in the London office for the Irish Independent Newspaper. At 22, disillusioned with the Catholic Church and politics, Christopher began his journey around the world. "I felt that the world is such an extraordinary place," he has said. "I wanted to be connected, involved and listen to other cultures and environments." Arriving in India, Christopher picked up a couple of books on Buddhist teachings and, inspired, became a Buddhist monk three years later. He went on to spend six years as a Buddhist monk in Thailand and India, during which time his experiences led him to contemplate on the corpse as well as contend with snakes and scorpions while living in a cave for nine months. He disrobed in 1976 and completed his journey around the world before returning to England, having spent ten years abroad. "The freedom makes possible the adventure," Christopher has shared. His spiritual recognition that everything is changing, and that non-clinging leads to a sense of freedom in one's life, has given him the ability to embrace continuously the next adventure. A prolific writer, Christopher maintains an active blog and has written numerous books that dive deeply into meditation, spirituality, political, social and global issues, and other topics in the Buddhist tradition. Despite this depth, Christopher has an accessible approach. "I found myself deeply touched by his willingness to be utterly ordinary, available, and walking his talk with humility and simplicity," recounted author Eliezer Sobel after attending a meditation retreat given by Christopher. Christopher has even found opportunities to reflect on Buddhist teachings through songs by The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and The Beatles, works by William Shakespeare, and Dharma Dancing. Christopher is known as a steadfast exponent of applying the Dharma to contemporary issues facing people, animals and the environment. He speaks, writes, and campaigns on social, political, and global issues. He also advocates the development of spiritual values, community renewal, and a green economy. He encourages Dharma practitioners to be Agents of Change and Caregivers. Since 1982, Christopher has lived in Totnes, Devon, England, regularly engaging in local activities. Vegan and environmentally conscious, Christopher only takes flights out of the EU to teach. He has one adult daughter and four grandchildren. Join us in conversation with this master seeker and teacher of wisdom and compassion in action.

Revisiting my experiences of awakening and reflecting on how things seem now, we ponder along the way: the culture of silence on awakening within Buddhism; the notion that enlightened people never claim enlightenment; my first ever experience of meditation; my failure at regular practice and a farewell to Buddhism; development of an interest in magick; returning to meditation as part of magical training; meeting Alan Chapman; effects of Alan's influence; embarking on the Knowledge and Communication of the Holy Guardian Angel; the 2012 prophecies and the Viking Youth Power Hour; encountering the teachings of Daniel Ingram; how to identify an authentic teacher; the advantages of “spiritual shopping”; using magick in order to experience awakening; replica hand grenades and black monoliths; my lack of faith in magick and my own experience; practical magick for mystical results; the danger of expectations; ego inflation versus lack of confidence; chaos magick as the tradition of not having a tradition; parallels between Crowley's Liber Samekh and Ingram's stages of insight; the realisation that the Dark Night of the Soul is progress; the basic and seemingly universal structure of awakening; discovering this structure all over the place; how the tradition and the practice do not seem to matter; intention and any suitable practice is all that is needed; my brash claims of attainment, and the reasons for this; how I used Ingram's teachings on the Buddhist four path model as my roadmap; descriptions and possible definitions of the four paths; a preliminary shift concerning distraction; my experience of first path: meeting Ultimate Truth; second path as the repetition of this; the major shift of a third path: a permanent awareness of something impossible and divine; God and death; the advice of Christopher Titmuss on dealing with a persistent duality; my experience of a seeming fourth path: nowhere from which to look; why I no longer regard myself as fully awakened; how the awareness has changed over time; a shift of interest towards trauma and karma; wondering about Christina Feldman's definition of enlightenment a “the implosion of all sankharas”.

n this episode I host a dialogue between Dhammarato and Daniel Ingram on the question ‘Lineage: Who May Teach The Authentic Dharma?'. Dhammarato is a lineage teacher in the Thai Buddhist tradition, a student of the meditation master Bikkhu Buddhadasa, and is known for his unique, 1-1 teaching style conducted over Skype. Daniel Ingram is an independent Buddhist author and co-founder of the Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium (EPRC), a multidisciplinary, multinational alliance of researchers, clinicians, and patrons who share a vision of bringing scientific methods and clinical sensibilities to the study of emergent phenomena. In this episode Dhammarato and Daniel offer various definitions of the word ‘lineage' and debate the value of lineage authorisation as a qualification to teach the Buddhist religion. Dhammarato recalls his own monastic training in what he calls the ‘noble lineage' under teachers such as a Ajahn Po and Bikkhu Buddhadasa and critiques the lack of authentic lineage in the West, while Daniel reflects on the pros and cons of the concept of lineage purity and institutional persecution of the outsider. Dhammarato and Daniel also consider generational preferences in lineage styles, the roles of religious institutions, and predict the evolution of Buddhism in America. … Video version at https://www.guruviking.com/ep114-lineage-who-may-teach-the-authentic-dharma-dhammarato-daniel-ingram/

Christopher Titmuss is perhaps the most senior teacher of Vipassana and Insight Meditation in the Western modern world. Titmuss was an ordained monk in Thailand, spending six years there from 1970 to 1976. During that time, he resided for three years in a monastery with Ajahn Dhammadharo, his Vipassana (Insight Meditation teacher) and Ajahn Buddhadasa. Our conversation takes a deep dive into the themes in his insightful book, The Political Buddha. We explore just how central the role of critical inquiry is in the Dharma, Buddha’s position on wealth and war, the privatization of spirituality, corporate mindfulness, ethics and institutional change, and the importance of the community.

This conversation between Krishnamurti and Titmus was recorded at Brockwood Park in 1984. Krishnamurti asks: What do we mean by the word ‘meditation’? Why should we meditate? Do we need to be taught how to meditate? Have we extended ambition from this world to the spiritual world? Who is the controller that controls thought?Christopher Titmuss, a former Buddhist monk, is a teacher and writer in the Buddhist tradition. He teaches and hold retreats in many countries around the world and many of his talks are available online. His books include The Buddha of Love, Light on Enlightenment, An Awakened Life and Poems from the Edge of Time.Find us online at kfoundation.org and on social media as Krishnamurti Foundation Trust

Lila interviewed Christopher Titmuss for several years, on different themes and topics relevant to awakening in our life.    Christopher Titmuss, a senior meditation and Dharma teacher in the west, a former Buddhist monk in Thailand and India, offers Dharma teachings addressing the wide variety of issues in daily life including mindfulness, meditation, communication and wise action.   Lila and Christopher are long term friends and were teaching together since 2004, including in this MTTC course (Mindfulness teacher training course).   EXTRACTS FROM THE INTERVIEW     MTTC course, October 21, 2017 Germany  21.10.2017 MTTC Germany  The interview begins with conditions in centers in the west and east, (5 min) Dharma has an outreach to reach to all, without exception. Christopher reveals how he is working inwardly with negativity and blame being thrown at him the distinction between praise and appreciation and much more. 2 things: one is resilience: I have done enough impermanence practice to help with that…) While listening the thought arises – this is what the person is telling me today. This might change.  The second thing is that I have to expect reaction. It comes with the role.  I make a distinction between praise and appreciation.  Praise is the wish to impress, saying kind words to others to build somebody up in order to get something I return. It might be recognition, wanting some approval, some extra agenda going with it.  Appreciative joy is free, because its Divine, from self interest.  What tells you the difference? I smell it… with praise there tend to be a little exaggerate. With blame – I search for the point of truth in it. I don’t recall adopting the view – oh, it's just your projection on me. It's just your problem, not mine.  I feel uncomfortable when teachers or anybody with authority makes that claim. When there is something in it - Do you ever get hurt or offended? Hurt sounds too strong… I'll feel plenty of unpleasant sensations… The training over decades -  The immediacy of the response – everything is around posture: physical posture and psychological posture, presence, eye to eye contact, Keeping the hands very still, checking for relaxation in the whole of the body. Though it feels unpleasant, but keeping present in front of it, in front of the other. The problem in the hearing is that its contracting, and my inner one liner – if I get upset or angry, I just handed my inner experience on a plate to somebody.  I just refuse to do it! The physical presence is remarkable for defusing.   If I start to lose it feeling start coming up here and there, and then the voice… I might hurry from here to sit. Stop, have a minute of silence. In the silence, I'm really just feeling back down. Feeling back down, feeling deep, out of the field of thinking. Feeling the inside quite deep down of the body, that seems to be outside of the world of mind and thoughts and concepts. Just for a minute, and then there is a readiness to speak or to go to the next thing. Silence is the foundation of a healthy or appropriate communication.   In a conversation like that, generally speaking, I don’t start of the sentences with the 'I' language. To go into the 'I' language tends to sound defensive. It feels defensive.  So rather than trying to explain, I find it easier and more effective to find one or two points and ask the group – O.K., in what way can we implement this?  The group feels included and the person feels to a degree that they have been heard, simply because I haven't taken any notice of the blame factor running around in the person voice. And when we then come to some fresh understanding then turning to the person and asking – are you O.K. with this? And they always say yes. So it didn’t get into a dispute, and it would tend to if I was speaking about how I felt and what I was trying to do. When I'm asked directly – then I have to speak directly. But If I don’t feel it’s a real necessity I don’t enter into the I language unless I think it is the best communication.   The combination of mindfulness and Samadhi really make a big difference. I'm incredibly dedicated to them.  I really think it's an extraordinary way of the being that we can really give total attention to the other without forgetting the one who is attentive. The 50- 50 along with the feeling of liking and being interested in people, and lots and lots of practice, especially in the use of the ears – to really really listen – the words, the tone, the attitude, the intimations, the utterances, the subtleties, the grossness, the generalizations, the insights, all these is coming over and in real presence, as much as I can offer, and out of that things stand out. The Buzz words stand out actually quit loud for me, and the insights will stand out, or the confusion of the mind will stand out, and then – I go there. So keeping presence and interest and bringing all the other factors that we have – from the ethics to the spiritual to the happiness to the dukkha to the understanding to the dependent arising of the avijjya paccaya samskara (ignorance conditioned reaction formations): it's all there, the support we all have, and can turn to it, and use it for the exploration, for the inquiry.  Of course it needs interest and it needs energy, but they tend to come, with a few other factors.     The importance of Samadhi   (starts min.27)  It's one of the questions because It gains a little extra urgency, simply because all  the way our concentration on things gets fragmented through all the entertainments. Its having its impact. The Samadhi is a big factor in having the capacity to act. The meditation retreats with returning of the attention on the object, successive moments of attention mindfulness upon the object is the development of Samadhi. In daily life -  areas of interest that worth concentrating on. like painting a picture or listening to music, but really making it a meditation.  It tends to be a weak link. Because of the working environment, that is so demanding on concentration, it can be infecting the concentration with stress and worry and agitation. But if the mode of the being is relaxed, settled, collected, composed upon the particular, with contentment and happiness there will be much less need to want to get away from it. The primary reason for people to take time off work is stress related.  Mindfulness needs concentration; it needs a meditation on the object.   Its Sila, Samadhi Panna, not Sila, Sati Panna… The monasteries, of course they emphasized mindfulness, but mostly Samadhi. People would say, oh, you practice to get somewhere, trying to get liberated, trying to get free. Because if you practice you still having to do something.  Of course I don’t buy that position. For myself, it’s a great freedom to practice. It’s a confirmation of freedom. One is free to practice, to explore, to develop heart and mind, free to appreciate there is no limits to their potential. Those who think practice is only means and goal oriented haven't understood it's an expression of a liberation, not an abstraction to it.   The same happened with Roshi, Leonard Cohens teacher, and with Punja. (meditation without trying to get somewhere…). One got to be free in all directions, therefor free to practice. people who rubbish it, are a little bit in danger of getting stuck with some old views, habits and patterns, which they might need to work on but it will get in the way if they think practice abstracts freedom. Thinking the same old way is much more abstraction.   There is tradition where the teaching communication is much more with the regular sustained way with the formless. Others like us use the form and love the formless, and we move between the two. That sense of being with the rhythms of life and some outcomes and some consequences but is seems kind of small change to the bigger sense. You and I come here, we have the privilege of offering this program, there is the wish of course that it will be insightful and beneficial, the consequences of it help to develop agents of change, but there is some sense of knowing that we are not in control of all of that, we are just offering something, making something available, and maybe out it it something will flow and we know that our freedom is these expressions and we expressing it and let the wind will take it as it will.

But there are reference in the text – the Buddha speaks about the connection of mind with other minds Something is flowing that is so refined, and I get some conformations in one way or another. My eyes and ears are too gross to such sensitivity When we are more sensitive, receptive, the deeper we are  the world becomes magical. the world opens its secrets up The invisible becomes much more visible;  The un-manifest becomes much more manifests. so the world is much richer because of the depth and there is much more feeling of synchronicity. spontaneity and events  weaving together  which n could never in zillion years plan. The quiet happiness and freedom  is the conformation of the infinite Infinite and freedom are two words of the same event Life is so free it allows such diversities – all the diversity is a statement of how free life is  And since its so free we are belonging to it – we are a confirmation of its freedom life is bigger than that (unity, connectivity etc)  – recognize the disconnect, the wish to have everything beautiful is a prejudice view point! Q: When the heart is closed what would help us to realizes the deep? A: not to talk (with the other person) about that which is closed down. Talk about something totally different. Totally unexpected.  For self practice – to walk up and down till the energy is changed.

"God is always with me". That sense haven't changed. Always been there. Only with gaps of days at maximum. I was always a happy child.  About God – that which I can rest in, rely upon and is always available.  It’s the quiet unshakable sustained sense that one is resting in something bigger then oneself, which I referred to as god, and I can refer to as reality or infinite or eternity. Entering the monastery, I can't remember looking for something, but more the interest in this human being. Something was moving and exploring, and it just had to be that way… There is very little suffering in my life.  As long as the receptivity is there, I can hear theirs without too much getting in the way. Not experiencing major suffering is due entirely to the resting in God. The resting in somehow gives enough space to put perspective on the little events. And that perspective is the saving grace from God. The resting generates a natural freedom which in turn generate curiosity. The word Infinite is important to me. I want to express it through exploration. There is no limit to the exploration. Outwardly, form, practices, ways of teaching, infinitely different kinds of ways of meditation, of working on myself, infinite opportunity and that gives a lot of vitality.

Not exactly. Something else runs the show. The primary interest is to give support for teachers to express their understanding in their  way which is supportive to people. I'm not concerned if they use the language of the form (Silla, Samadhi, Pannya) or not, they need a person outside of themselves to tell them – you can do it. I wanted to ask you about the next generation and how do you see your Role as a teacher, how do you chose. Q - When you give teaching, what is for you the primary intention? A - Liberation.  That’s the thread that runs through. The liberation from the stuff, the freedom to be, the freedom to act. Something that is simultaneously transcendent but immanent, but close. That consistently what I wish to get across so It  realized or understood But not to make it into a criteria in any way. In teacher meetings people discussed qualities that makes a teacher. But I never participated. Why list all this, and who has got it perfect anyway? … In the last analysis, in a way, the sangha decides a teacher.  You and I and others can give support, but if that person hasn’t got the dedication in and outside of retreat  - they'll fade. I opt for a general sense of potential that this person can flower in and with the role, given the right guidance and support from one who has done it for years. These can bring something deeper   out if the person. One of the most common things I hear from teachers is that how challenging it is to find the words around ultimate truth.  I say to people – at least try to put in a sentence or two about where it's all going: Nibhana, liberation, the truth, the unconditioned, call it what you like. Keep it alive inside yourself as well as with the others. If I sense the basics are there – Ethics, lifestyle, which is respectful to the earth – living modestly. A real love of the dharma, a sense of practices, connection and support with others-  sangha, the India, Thailand, Burmese, experience. That itself is speaking to me. I'm not too concerned with the personality of the individual. And because of dependent arising – giving them more nourishment. Looking back at your generation of teachers, when you were in your early 30 late 20, you didn’t have much experience with all these. But there was something else. Most of them couldn’t even tell me what the 4 noble truths are (laughter)… and saying all kind of things like "you create your own reality… and still do (laughter). I'll respond, but not as a criteria.   With the group of the MTTC I'm cutting the corners. I think the planet is chronic  self doubt   What would be your advise for someone who would like to be a dharma teacher? (21.48 min– starts a new topic )-  what's your advice – what should people do to get the transcendent more immanent? A – the combination of retreats, coupled with the transcendent on a retreat, in the dialogue, in the listening, is the best climate possible.  3 kinds of teachers that I'm totally fine with: one, is good with all the basics: sila- Samadhi-panna, methods and techniques, loving kindness meditation, mindfulness, 8 fold path etc.  they teach on retreats and its totally fine.  I encourage some people to do that. Second kind of teacher has more to offer – could be jhanas, insight, more understanding of the psychology of people – deeper. Third kind of teacher – a certain consistency with the ultimate. There are overlapping and sometimes a gradual shift.

That is no longer a priority. Moving from the form to the formless. Receptivity that allows something to move in consciousness to provide insights and realization and takes the power out of the world to have dominancy over one life. Emptiness - It makes everything else possible… Its not that I have something that others don’t have. Its knowing it that makes all the difference… life and death rest in something that is not life and is not death… Knowing is the end of movement We live under a spell of movement: of doing. It’s a spell of the consciousness When the spell finishes and is over with, the sense of something genuine and real which all this rests in, manifests, reveals, confirms. A seeing and a knowing that is e quite comfortable with duality and non duality Freedom is freedom – 3 manifestations of freedom - freedom from the problematic,   freedom to be,  -  and these 2 leads to the freedom to act. What motivates you? The life so far had sustained itself in real sense of being fulfilled Q- What is your deepest wish? A- The full awakening of human beings and flowing along with that, make all these teachings applicable

We’re joined this week by Insight meditation teacher and engaged activist Christopher Titmuss. Our main topic of exploration is the place of sexuality, eros, and love in the practice of Dharma. Contained within that topic we explore what is often meant by the word ‘desire’ in English, and how that differs from the what the Buddha taught as the source of suffering, tanha (often translated as thirst or craving). Christopher explains some of the historical reasons that Buddhism has not be able to provide many helpful suggestions concerning sexuality, and also challenges what he sees as a common orthodox among Western teachers and practitioners in regards to sexuality and relationships. We conclude our conversation by exploring the importance—in a cultural climate where long-term monogamous relationships are becoming more and more rare—of treating the ending of relationships with greater care. “How,” Christopher asks, “if we are ending a relationship, can we make a transition from intimacy to that of a caring friendship?” This is part 1 of a two-part series. Listen to part 2, Working with Sexual Energy. Episode Links: Bodh Gaya Retreats ( http://www.bodhgayaretreats.org ) www.ChristopherTitmuss.org

We’re joined again by British meditation teacher, Christopher Titmuss, to continue our exploration into the powerful, and often challenging, realm of human sexuality. Christopher shares a couple of stories of monks dealing with sexuality, one a traditional story and the other a story of a 92 year old monk that he practiced with in Thailand. He also explains that if sexual energy, which is a natural part of our humanity, is repressed than it can wreak havoc on how we engage in the world. Finishing up our conversation with Christopher, we ask him if there’s anything he’d like to share with the Buddhist Geeks listeners. He responds with a very interesting caution on not over-emphasizing the development of the mind, over the development of the heart and the vibrancy of our “feeling lives.” This is part 2 of a two-part series. Listen to Part 1, The Place of the Erotic. Episode Links: www.ChristopherTitmuss.org
