With so much going on these days it can be challenging to stay balanced and present for whatever shows up in our world - pleasant or unpleasant. In this talk Mary discusses the idea of joy and sorrow and the eight worldly winds as a teaching to ground us right here and be open to whatever shows up. Denying the present moment is a hallmark of dukkha and our path is to move away from that dukkha. Recorded July 26, 2025 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Schreiben Sie mir!Nichts ist beständiger, als die ostdeutsche Opferrolle. Aller Billionentransfers und der durch Fleiß erreichten Ergebnisse, vergräbt man sic in Wut und Frust. Statt stolz zu sein und eine gute Blick zurück zu wagen, wählt man sich das eigene Ende herbei. In einer seltsamen Sehnsucht nach Untergang. Aber immer mit dem Duktus, der sehende Teil Deutschlands zu sein. Hier sind die, die aus allem irgendwas machen. Und vor allem die, die wissen, wie es politisch laufen muss. Schließlich hat man ja schon einmal ein Land gestürzt, Man weiß, wann die Zeit gekommen ist? Der Westen schläft. Hier wohnt die Rettung. Wirklich? Mal abgesehen davon, dass der weit größte Teil der Ostdeutschen erst hinter der sicheren Gardine hervorkam, als das System am Boden lag. Um als erstes die, die über lange Jahre und mit großem Risiko und Haft belegten Vorkämpfer der Freiheit bei den ersten freien Wahlen ins Nirvana zu schickten: 35 Jahre nach der Wende wählt man im Osten rechtsradikale Zerstörer der freiheitlichen Grundordnung. Man schwingt in demokratischer Freiheit Russlandfahnen und schwurbelt was von Diktatur, die sogleich zum Schutz der meist illegalen Demonstranten Polizei an die Seite stellt. Und immer wieder sucht die irrlichternde konservative Restmehrheit mit großen Verständnisdebatten den AfD-Wählenden als gequälten Bürger einzuhegen, der einfach nur Verständnis braucht. Ich bekenne: Auch ich habe dies lange getan. Weil ich weiß, welche Härten die Wendezeit bereithielt für die Meisten. Doch jetzt sage ich: Ihr wisst genau, wen ihr wählt. Ihr macht dies bewusst. Und deshalb gehört ihr dazu. Ihr seid erwachsene Menschen. Ihr wollt als Staatsbürger anerkannt und ernstgenommen sein. Dann tun wir das ab jetzt. Steht zu dem, was ihr da tut und tragt die Konsequenzen. Und Ihr, die ihr das alles verharmlost, klein redet. Die Ihr die Parolen übernehmt, um an der Wahlurne den eigenen Hals nochmal zu retten. Ihr, die ihr abfällig auf Demonstrierende blickt, die noch die Flagge hochhalten für unsere freiheitliche Welt. Die ihr Euch mehr an Gendersternchen als am täglichen Schulhakenkreuz abarbeitet. Und ihr, die ihr zuhause Euch einschließt und denkt, dies alles hat mit Euch nichts zu tun. Das Land, die Demokratie zerschellt nicht an 30 oder 35 % Radikaler in den Parlamenten. Sie wird am Opportunismus, eurem Egoismus und eurer Kapitulation der stillen 70 Prozent sterben.

Looking into the samadhi section of the Eight-Fold Path, Joseph Goldstein clarifies how we can free the mind with right effort, mindfulness, and concentration.The Satipatthana Sutta is one of the most celebrated and widely studied discourses in the Pāli Canon of Theravada Buddhism.

It's only six things, whichever arise - sight, sound, smell, taste, sensation or an object of mind.

In our world today we can chase after certificates and degrees to prove who we are and what we know. In this talk Mary reflects on the words of Ajahn Chah who says that these are only "appendages". "We think they are real and we carry them around with us" to prove who we are. Instead, we are invited to turn inwards and allow our inner wisdom to arise. This takes effort, a dedication to the practice, and seeking the advice of those who have walked the path, but, as the Buddha said, we can find our own way with these teachings.Recorded July 19, 2025 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Flo is off the plot today and in the London garden of English musician, filmmaker, painter and feminist icon, Gina Birch.Gina's career spans the late 1970s and 80s when, alongside Ana De Silva, she formed The Raincoats. Through the 80s and 90s she continued to make music with Red Crayola and toured with Nirvana, as well as making music videos for the likes of New Order. Constantly evolving, her more contemporary work is in paint, film and more music. Her new album, Trouble, is just out on Third Man Records. Flo and Gina got so lost in conversation that the gardening barely gets a look in. Some green beans did eventually get planted whilst they talk about feminist icons, the Women In Revolt show, life in 1970s London and Gina's occasional wish to be a bus conductor.

"Customers are now expecting highly personalised, seamless, and efficient interactions across all the touch points,” stated Rahul Sareen, the Senior Leader–Cross Industry, Private Equity and Startups Solutions at Amazon Web Services (AWS). Sareen's statement represents the state of customer experience (CX) today. It's a demand that is forcing businesses to completely rethink how they engage with customers.In the recent episode of the Don't Panic It's Just Data podcast, John Santaferraro, CEO and Head Research Analyst at Ferraro Consulting, speaks to Gary Class, Industry Strategist, Financial Services at Teradata and Sareen. They discussed how data, AI, and hyper-personalisation are reshaping customer experience (CX). The time of one-size-fits-all customer service is long over. Sareen emphasises this change by quoting Jeff Bezos: "If you have 4.5 million customers, then you cannot just build one store. You have to build 4.5 million stores." This isn't just about dividing customers into groups; it's about providing a truly unique and personal experience for each person. How AI is Enhancing Customer Experience (CX)Alluding to the use of gen AI and AI agents in customer experience (CX), Class highlights a key application of AI – analysing unstructured data. He says, “The one time that customers tell you what they really want and need, it's on the phone." By "grafting the unstructured data analysed through speech and text onto the structured data," businesses get equipped with rich insights on untapped possibilities. Overall, it also provides a 360-degree preview of the customer experience (CX), which allows for increased proactive and custom developments.AI agents are set to take hyper-personalisation to new heights, the podcast guests believe. Alluding to the pros, Sareen points to their "predictive and proactive nature," which lets AI agents "identify and resolve issues before even customers are aware of them." Imagine a situation where a device automatically finds a problem, starts a support case, identifies a solution, and even applies a fix—all in real-time and without any input from the customer. Sareen calls this the "Nirvana state" of AI-driven customer service. It promises a smooth and genuinely smart experience.Unified Platform for Simplified Quality DataSimplifying how we manage raw data and turn it into quality data in a single system is critical for meeting the needs of AI in customer experience (CX).This is where Teradata comes in. Class says the company's approach centres on "harvesting all the data that you can collect in a conformed and harmonised framework." Their strategy includes providing industry-specific data models and leveraging the "capacity of a relational database engine that can deal with complexity at...

When we treat ourselves to “self-care,” maybe what we're really trying to achieve is Nirvana? Amy Larocca is a journalist who spent 20 years at New York magazine as both fashion director and editor at large. She joins guest host Paige Phelps to discuss how the moneyed and elite have moved from fashion to the “wellness” space, how Gwyneth Paltrow and other celebrities peddle products with dubious claims, and why, in an increasingly secular world, wellness makes us feel closer to the divine.

Howlin' Pelle is a joy to be around. As the longtime lead singer for Swedish garage rock legends The Hives, he brings big energy on stage and off. The band are known for their live shows, and their forthcoming new album is one they wrote with a stadium sensibility in mind. So when The Hives returned to Australia for the first time in 10 years, I asked him to choose his blockbuster songs. From AC/DC to Outkast to Billie Eilish, this is a fist pumping, heart filling conversation about music's power.AC/DC - Thunderstruck OutKast - Hey Ya Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have FunBillie Eilish - Bad Guy Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

What is the message we would bring back to our families and friends if we survived a near-death experience? It's the kind of event that could change our lives in a big way. What would we most want the people closest to us to realize from our close encounter with the veil?Such close encounters reveal profound insights and perceptions that can change a life's direction, or bring new understanding about the human's larger universal purpose and potential.Being brought back “online” from an unexpected near-departure also highlights a view of human life as the integration of many different systems in a unified, harmonious whole — physical, mental, and spiritual. An illness or other struggle can be seen as a form of dis-integration, while weaving to reintegrate the parts back together, physical and energetic, enables a larger healing. It brings a clearer vision of the river of life flowing seamlessly within a stream of universal possibility.Longtime Portals friend David Price Francis recently survived a very close call: a scheduled heart surgery did not go as planned. In the latest chapter of the Current Openings series, he talks with Aviv Shahar about the perceptions and meaning the experience unlocked, and the message he'd like us to contemplate. Among their insights:That's how I think of human beings: we're not finished, we're not completed. We're here to learn, to grow, to develop. We're in an embryonic state, which is why planet Earth is so messy.Make the most of life while we're here; pay attention, try to understand how the universe works. Partly why we're here is to read God's signature in the world around us.We can't have the evolutionary stream without being in the river of life; we need to love both. Not trying to be in the realm of consciousness and leaving behind regular life.Instructing and talking to our soul is part of wellbeing and healing. We talk with our intention, our consciousness; we speak to our brain, our body, our soul about what's happening in our life.We might see life in the universe and on Earth as random. Yet the distance from the sun to Earth is exact. In life there is often an exactness to a fraction of a degree. What does this mean for how we live?This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

So both things are happening at once. It's very easy though to get carried along in the river of life and lose consciousness within it; we become automated, we become auto responsive.” (David)“Pay attention to the river of life, the codings, the understandings, you could say the signature of creation, it's all there. And so we don't take our consciousness and seek to separate it and go into some other domain and become blank. It's actually more like, everything is interesting, everything is worth looking at and exploring and trying to understand it. What are the actual laws by which this place works? And what are the connections through which it works? And we've been given this chance to research God through the river of life, because that tells us something about the design of creation.” (David) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteThe Open-Heart Conversation: Current Openings #18

Steve presents a learned treatise on alternative rock bands who, following Nirvana's breakthrough, scored a previously unlikely mainstream hit.

"Rock and Roll really came into its own in the 1950s and once it did someone was always proclaiming it bad for the youth in one way or another. These were generally called Moral Panics. Here is the history and some examples of a few of the most popular Moral Panics."

Bassist Gina Birch is a founding member of the legendary British post-punk band the Raincoats, whose self-titled 1977 debut album is an off-kilter classic. More Raincoats albums followed, as did stints with Dorothy and the Hangovers, but it wasn't until 2023 that Birch released her first solo album, the acclaimed I Play My Bass Loud. Now she's made Trouble, which again draws on dub, reggae and electronica textures while exploring the intersection of art and the often-troublesome outside world. Birch is fierce, funny and down-to-earth as she tells how she approaches and creates her art, which includes painting, filmmaking and an appearance in the Tate Gallery's “Women in Revolt!” exhibition in London last year. She also reflects on Kurt Cobain's Raincoats fandom—and his death a week before the Raincoats were slated to open Nirvana' 1994 UK tour—and the power of female artists “Making Trouble Again.” (Photo by Dean Chalkley.)

You can tell it around places where there's that fragrance of peace, well-being, and liberation.” – Jack Kornfield“Deep down, what matters is only the spirit of compassion—only what benefits beings in every form, in every realm on this earth. Don't think about how to spread Buddhism. It doesn't matter if there are even one or two more Buddhists.

What does the second coming of Christ mean? What does achieving the Buddha mind mean? What is Nirvana? All of these sayings and teachings of religion have a metaphor that lead us or can lead us to truth.

Life Changes Show with Filippo Voltaggio and cohost Mark Laisure, with Executive Producer Dorothy Lee Donahue Life Changes Show - A New Hope for A New Era - Ep849 Featuring Interview Guest, Spiritual Teacher, Business Strategist, and Environmental Advocate, Cynthia Rivard; and Performance Guest, The Susie Hansen Latin Band Leader and Violinist, Susie Hansen, on The Life Changes Show, Episode 849 Interview Guest: CYNTHIA RIVARD; and Performance Guest: SUSIE HANSEN Don't forget to check out guest, Cynthia Rivard's book: "Hope For A New Era: Turning the Tide, Love and Leadership Through Turbulent Times." A short description of "Hope For A New Era: Turning the Tide, Love and Leadership Through Turbulent Times" from Amazon: The New Earth, paradise on earth and Nirvana are all concepts of a beautiful future that we have been taught awaits the faithful or spiritually connected. It is a misleading narrative, however, because the Divine Law of Creation demands that we take action in order to manifest anything new. This long anticipated Golden Era, humanity's next epoch, is upon us. We can begin, as individuals, to experience raised consciousness and transcendent joy now. And as a global community, we must take action to create the society that will nurture and continue to evolve humanity and our planet into its greatest era. “Rivard's balanced approach to leadership…is a refreshing perspective on how transformative change can unfold beyond traditional political frameworks. Her emphasis on faith in oneself and the power of community lends steady optimism, even when addressing urgent global concerns. Perhaps the most important aspect of the book is how Rivard grounds the work in real-world applicability, recognizing human limitations and divine potential in envisioning incremental, sustainable progress.” - Jamie Michele for Readers' Favorite In these pages, you will learn what it will take to manifest what has been a theoretical concept throughout religious history, into your life now. The new era isn't a different place from where we currently live. It is a concept and upleveling of energies that can shift your consciousness and future into the joy-filled, abundant way of being that awaits each of us. It is also a better future for the earth and all of its inhabitants. It is a golden era that we can co-create when, as conscious global citizens and leaders, we take responsibility for improving our current broken and toxic behaviors and systems. There will be no tomorrow without more compassionate action today. Learn why there is cause for great hope and how you can be a catalyst for some of the massive changes necessary to create the Golden Era and our next chapter of human evolution.

We take a look at prominent figures such as Rick Warren, Greg Laurie, Carl Lentz, Steven Furtick and others who have seemingly loved to meditate on the works of artists like the Beatles, Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin in their private life only to have their devilish desires played out for their congregations.

In this third installment of my "DharmaByte" column and "UnMind" podcast, exploring the general subject of Zen in our Times, we turn to the last of three suggested topics from Hokai Jeff Harper, Halifax-based publisher of the STO newsletter: • To everything there is a season• The wax and wane of householder zazen practice• What we are feeling right now IS impermanence manifesting itself Hokai somehow managed, perhaps unintentionally, to progressively home in on the central experience of Zen on three levels. Starting with the most universal sphere of our experience on Earth, the seasonality that is an effect of orbiting the sun for approximately 365 rotations of the planet; then down to the social sphere of our practice as householders; and finally into the realm of the intimate, up-close-and-personal sphere of consciousness itself. What I call the "singularity of Zen." As I mentioned in the last segment, we often seem to labor under a misconception that because we follow the lifestyle of householders, we cannot hope to penetrate to the fundamental meaning of the teachings of Buddhism. But Hokai's assertion puts the lie to this assumption. If the Dharma is simply pointing at the present reality that we are experiencing, lifestyle choices cannot possibly have a determinative or dispositive, causal relationship in terms of coming to realization of our buddha mind. What we are feeling now is impermanence manifesting itself, to quote the above quote. Not only what we are feeling now, but what we are seeing and hearing, smelling and tasting, as well as what we are thinking. Or reading, if you are reading this rather than listening to the podcast version. You might quibble with Hokai's construction - "impermanence manifesting itself" - as it suggests that "impermanence" is some sort of independent force capable of manifesting itself, rather than an attribute of the changing nature of the universe. But let's not let mere semantics distract from the message. We are witnessing the "endless, unremitting, unnamable, unthinkable buddha-dharma," as Master Dogen expressed it; and we bear witness to IT mainly through the dynamic of change, or impermanence. Otherwise, we would not register seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, or even thinking, at all. If nothing were changing, there could be no awareness of it. As I mentioned in the segment on householder practice, renunciation in Zen is a matter of seeing through the delusional aspect of living, not a matter of lifestyle. Discernment in Zen is like Sri Ramakrishna's analogy that, like a swan, we need to be able to drink milk mixed with water, and drink only the milk. Or as Master Tozan analogized: A silver bowl filled with snow A heron hidden in the moonTaken as similar, they are not the sameNot distinguished, their places are known So this refined awareness of the nondual nature of reality, termed "emptiness," as opposed to "form" or appearance, is so close to ordinary reality, or perceptual duality, that it is nearly indistinguishable — like white snow in a silver bowl, or a white heron and the full moon — white on white. Buddha taught that the discriminating mind imposes a "false stillness" on reality, tamping down the uninhibited flow of sensory data to a dull roar. This enables us to maintain our balance and negotiate a dynamic, 4-dimensional spacetime environment.This is part of the natural process of "individuation" that sets in once we are born, and culminates in the conception of the independent self, which is a fundamental category error, according to Buddhism. The original alienation that is our fall from grace. It is not that Buddhism claims there is no self whatever. There is a constructed self, and there is a true self, according to this model. The prevalent perception of separation as an incarnated being is not entirely delusional. But it is incomplete — reification of a separate self ignores the rest of the story, the fact that all beings are interconnected, co-arisen and co-dependent. The Twelvefold Chain of Interdependent Arising, attributed to Shakyamuni, parses this coming-of-age story, slicing and dicing stages of development finely, like an Italian chef shaving garlic with a razorblade. This is similar to Master Dogen's fine discernment of reality — from a perspective uniting space, or existence, and time — as articulated in Uji—Being-Time, explored in some detail in a prior podcast. What he referred to as the "fine mind of Nirvana," or the "subtle mind of Nirvana." Master Sengcan, third Chinese patriarch after Bodhidharma and his successor Huike, points to something similar in Hsinhsinming—Trust in Mind: In this world of Suchness there is neither self nor other-than-selfTo come into harmony with this realityJust simply say when doubt arises: "not two"In this "not two" nothing is separate nothing is excludedNo matter when or where Enlightenment means entering this truthAnd this truth is beyond extension or diminution in time or spaceIn it a single thought is ten thousand years Believing in the fundamental bifurcation of consciousness into self-and-other, body versus mind — the "Cartesian error" — is resolved in realizing that "you can't have one without the other," or as the more contemporary trope would have it, "both things can be true at the same time." "Neither-self-nor-other-than-self" indicates the True Self of Buddhism, undivided from the very beginning. "Not-two" is the mantra we conjure whenever any doubt about this arises. At the risk of repeating myself — with the caveat that these teachings bear repetition, especially in changing contexts — the last stanza returns us to the singularity of Zen: No matter when or whereEnlightenment means entering this truthAnd this truth is beyond extension or diminution in time or spaceIn it a single thought is ten thousand years The last line of which Matsuoka-roshi would encapsulate as "The eternal moment." So it all comes down to this. Like a fish-trap, reality ensnares us in its wide reach, and as we pursue our own realization — which, after all, is, or should be, our birthright — we find the trap narrowing again and again, until there is no escape, no turning back; like the exhausted swimmer at the halfway point, it is just as far, and equally risky, to try to make it back safely to shore as it is to continue swimming to the island. If we persevere, finally finding ourselves on the "other shore," we can see clearly that we have been seeing things all wrong, all along. There never has been a separate self to embody, let alone to defend against all comers, let alone any existential annihilation. In the not-two nonduality of Zen's reality, it was all like a bad dream, one that we essentially made up — with a little help from our friends and family, of course, not to mention the entire world of benighted people who fear death and, consequently, life. This is not to insist that everyone else is wrong about everything, and that only I and my like-minded friends from the enchanted land of Zen have the inside track. In one sense, it must be true that everyone has a hunch about this — an inkling that something is missing — and that that something is worth knowing. Otherwise we would probably all commit mass suicide, in despair. Which is exactly what it looks like we are doing, with an assist from the stewards, elected or not, of our commonweal. Can anyone say "lemmings"? But Buddhism never seemed to show much concern about the survival of the species. Celibacy is the quickest way to bring down the curtain on humanity - simply not giving birth to the next generation. Of course, the coterie of those who abjure bearing children is not likely to ever encompass a majority of the population, so that kind of extinction is not going to happen. No, it is more likely that Mother Nature's balancing act will bring about the demise of humanity owing to our disruption of her sphere of influence, so carefully nurtured to bring the miracle of life to the planet in the first place, as the goddess Gaia: In Greek mythology, Gaia is the personification of the Earth and a primordial goddess, one of the first deities to emerge from Chaos. She is often referred to as Mother Earth and is considered the mother of all life. And life itself is "fleeting as an arrow" according to Buddha. What we are feeling in the present is this fleeting moment, our life passing before our very eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind in a vast network of frequencies in polyrhythmic synchrony. Our heartbeat is our metronome, the rise and fall of the breathing our connection to the thin atmospheric blanket embracing the earth. On a personal basis, there is no time to waste in foolish pursuits, as the sage Jianzhi Sengcan reminds us in Hsinhsinming: Waste no time in doubts and arguments that have nothing to do with this A century later, Master Sekito Kisen says it another way, in Sandokai: I respectfully urge you who study the Mysterydo not pass your days and nights in vain So Hokai does us a great service to remind us of the evanescence of spacetime in the personal realm, embedded in our social context as householders, surrounded by the world of Nature both nurturing and threatening us, finally floating in the constancy of the universal. Let Tozan Ryokai have the last word on it, after yet another century, from his Hokyo Zammai: Within causes and conditions time and season it is serene and illuminating
So minute it enters where there is no gap so vast it transcends dimensionA hairsbreadth deviation and you are out of tune It seems that all three of the great Ch'an masters are speaking with one voice, urging us to pay attention. There is not so much to their Buddhism after all, as one sage commented upon the occasion of his insight. So Hokai's assertion that what we are feeling right now IS impermanence manifesting itself is subject to Master Dogen's repeat comment: "All things are like this." Not only what we are feeling right now — but what we are seeing and hearing, smelling and tasting and yes, even what we are thinking right now — is, in one sense, impermanence. It is not only in front of your face, it is also behind your face, penetrating your hearing with no boundary, in and out through your nose and mouth (and other orifices), and enveloping your body outside and inside, clean and clear through your original mind. Tozan says, with stunning nonchalance, earlier in the poem: You are not IT — but in truth IT is you Buddha is attributed with saying something like — that there is impermanence means that there is permanence. And his followers were overjoyed to hear that. What made them so happy? Again recalling Hsinhsinming—Trust in Mind: Change appearing to occur in the empty world we call real —only because of our ignorance So the nondual version of this insight is that IT is both changing and staying the same at the same time. This should bring about a great sigh of relief in all who realize it.

Meditation is an invitation to that vulnerability, the rawness and openness of the heart. Not because it's good for us, but because it moves us back to the truth that we are held. If we can sit and open, we'll discover that this universe that has given birth to us really does hold us.” – Jack KornfieldThis episode recorded on 03/08/1993 at Spirit Rock Meditation Center was originally published on DharmaSeed. “Nirvana, which is the absence of suffering, doesn't mean that the world goes away.
