Epilogue: Manjushri's Burden from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner I SET THE CHAIN SAW down on the stump of the tree which I had just felled and sat down on the log to drink from my canteen. It was the very same orange water bag I had purchased to take with me to India two years ago. I looked up through the bare November trees at the sun edging toward the apex of its low autumn arc. Then I looked at the piles of cordwood I'd accumulated along the road during the past months. There would certainly be enough for the stoves before the first snowfall. Satisfied, I picked up my saw and headed back to the house. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 20 minutes 58 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Ch. 14 - Time Past and Time Present from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner DELHI HOT LIKE A KILN. I wandered through empty streets at midday making final connections. London like a plunge into ice water, only hours later. I stood shivering in the transit lounge, my thin wool shawl wrapped tight around my shoulders, my socks incongruous in Indian sandals, even more incongruous in white pajama clothes, amidst fur and leather coats, heavy sweaters and fat, flushed, liquor-stained faces. I was emaciated by comparison. Crash landing in Boston, hours late. Time sense destroyed. I slept last in Calcutta. A strange wakefulness haunted my body. Alert to ponderous events all around me, I followed my breath as a customs official began pawing through my bag. Suddenly he stopped and handed it back to me with an apologetic smile. I felt a rising thickness in my throat to get beyond that door. She would be waiting. At first she wasn't sure she could, but after letters back and forth, she'd finally agreed. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 34 minutes 47 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Ch. 13 - The Essence is Anicca from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner THE TWO-BLADED FAN above my head cut ponderously through the thick, hot air. It was late April and the annual three-month heat wave was in full bloom in Madras. My own body temperature had gone amok with some indeterminate fever, and I'd spent the past three days in this hotel room waiting quietly for my illness to pass. It was a comfortable enough place to be sick, with its clean, white walls and stone floors, and outside, a balcony that overlooked gardened courtyards where huge trees reached up to the third tier of rooms. The dark and faintly musky atmosphere was almost Mediterranean. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 53 minutes 16 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Pyrrho of Elis (c. 360–270 BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher and founder of Pyrrhonism, a school of philosophical skepticism. He advocated for epoché (suspension of judgment) as a path to ataraxia (peace of mind). Influenced by his travels to India with Alexander the Great, Pyrrho believed that nothing could be definitively known and that by refraining from beliefs, one could achieve tranquility. His teachings laid the foundation for later skeptical thought in philosophy and medicine.

Meditation can lead us into some extraordinary states of consciousness—moments of stillness, spaciousness, or bliss that feel like a doorway has opened inside us. These states can be deeply nourishing, offering glimpses of something beyond the ordinary mind. But over time, even these expansive experiences can start to feel familiar. When meditation begins to drop us into the same place again and again, it's worth asking: Are these states actually transforming us, or simply soothing us?In this episode, Craig explores the difference between altered states and true awakening—and why confusing the two can quietly limit our growth. Through three focused segments, he examines how certain meditative states can subtly distract us from the deeper aim of practice, and how we can shift our orientation to stay more fully awake within each moment. To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

Kai suggested excitedly, eager to try various festival foods.Zh: 梅琳却摇摇头，目光转向不远处的拙政园。En: However, Mei Lin shook her head, her gaze turning towards the Humble Administrator's Garden not far away.Zh: “去花园吧，我需要找一个安静的地方画画，”她柔声说，愉悦的目光流连在花园的美景上。En: "Let's go to the garden. I need a quiet place to paint," she said softly, her eyes lingering with pleasure on the garden's beautiful scenery.Zh: 作为一名年轻的画家，她渴望捕捉到春天的神韵和节日的精神。En: As a young painter, she longed to capture the essence of spring and the festival spirit.Zh: 小云是从上海来的，她非常喜爱植物，听到这个提议立刻赞同。En: Xiao Yun, who came from Shanghai, loved plants very much and immediately agreed upon hearing this suggestion.Zh: “我也想看看那里的花草。”En: "I also want to see the flowers and plants there."Zh: 三人进入拙政园，立刻被这里的宁静和生机吸引。En: The three entered the Humble Administrator's Garden and were instantly attracted by its tranquility and vitality.Zh: 园内的柳树下，湖面波光粼粼，鱼儿游动。En: Under the willow trees by the lake, the surface shimmered, and fish swam.Zh: 可园内的游客渐渐多了起来，到处都是大声喧哗和孩子们的嬉闹声。En: However, more and more visitors were coming in, filling the garden with loud voices and children's laughter.Zh: 梅琳努力寻找灵感，但蓬勃的人流让她无法专心。En: Mei Lin struggled to find inspiration, but the bustling crowds prevented her from concentrating.Zh: 她灵机一动，建议道：“我们去园子里更深的地方看看。”En: She had a sudden idea and suggested, "Let's see deeper into the garden."Zh: 尽管凯和小云有些不愿意远离热闹的景象，还是跟随梅琳继续前行。En: Although Kai and Xiao Yun were somewhat reluctant to leave the lively scene, they followed Mei Lin further along.Zh: 柳枝轻拂脸颊，石桥下流水潺潺，他们终于找到了一个幽静的角落。En: The willow branches brushed their cheeks, and the water flowed gently under stone bridges.Zh: 他们终于找到了一个幽静的角落。En: They finally found a peaceful corner.Zh: 就在这一刻，梅琳发现眼前的美丽景象：阳光透过柳树的枝叶，洒下点点金光。En: At that moment, Mei Lin discovered a beautiful scene before her: sunlight filtered through the willow leaves, scattering bits of golden light.Zh: 远处，龙舟的鼓声隐隐传来，与眼前的宁静形成对比。En: In the distance, the drum sounds of the dragon boats faintly echoed, contrasting with the tranquility before her.Zh: 她如获珍宝般地拿出笔记本，迅速勾勒出这一幕。En: She brought out her notebook as if she had found a treasure and quickly sketched the scene.Zh: 她笑着转向凯和小云，激动地分享自己的画作。En: She turned to Kai and Xiao Yun with a smile, excitedly sharing her artwork.Zh: 在她的图画中，花园的活力和节日的精神交织在一起。En: In her drawing, the vitality of the garden and the spirit of the festival were intertwined.Zh: 凯和小云看着梅琳创造出的艺术，不禁赞叹不已。“太美了，我从来没想过你能把这片园子画得这么好，”小云说道。En: Kai and Xiao Yun marveled at the art Mei Lin had created. "It's so beautiful, I never thought you could capture this garden so well," Xiao Yun said.Zh: 随着这次经历，梅琳意识到，朋友们不仅能给她带来快乐，也能助她发现灵感，即使在混乱中也能创造出心中的画面。En: Through this experience, Mei Lin realized that her friends not only brought her joy but also helped her find inspiration, allowing her to create pictures from her heart even amidst chaos.Zh: 旅途结束时，三人满意地走出花园，回到集市，继续享受热闹的龙舟节。En: As the journey came to an end, the three contentedly walked out of the garden and returned to the market to continue enjoying the lively Dragon Boat Festival.Zh: 梅琳带着心中的画卷，坚定了自己的创作信念。En: With the picture in her heart, Mei Lin strengthened her creative belief.Zh: 龙舟节这天对她而言，不再仅仅是一个节日，而是一个新的创作开始。En: To her, this Dragon Boat Festival day was no longer just a holiday but a new beginning for her creativity.

Ch. 12 - The Great Blind Sea Turtle from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner ON MY RETURN TO the monastery from my brief journey out into the world, I had been warmly greeted by the head monk, Nyayaka Maha Thera, and by my two friends Bhikkhus Sunno and Ratanapala, who were convinced that I had returned for good. It was quite a homecoming. I asked Sunno if he might like to take a walk out to my hut one afternoon and have some tea so we could talk. He was quite pleased by the invitation and promised to visit me soon. The days went by, though, and he didn't come. One day after lunch, I sent the young boy who served me food back into the meditation quarters to fetch Sunno. I didn't think it proper for me simply to wander in there unexpectedly. Sunno appeared with a big smile, and after apologizing for not being able to make it to my kuti, invited me to his quarters. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 39 minutes 01 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Currently based in Seattle, she is the VP of Program Management at Panda Mobile, where she leads the development of community-focused MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) that provide culturally relevant, niche wireless services to underserved markets especially Chinese immigrant communities and university ecosystems. Andrie's life journey is a testament to adaptability, resilience, and the power of starting over. Originally from China, she left everything familiar behind to pursue her education in the U.S. Despite early struggles, she graduated with summa cum laude, won the second place in business plan competition against the entire school, and completed two internships, proving her ability to overcome new challenges quickly. Driven by a desire for citizenship and a new path, she made the bold decision to leave behind her finance background to join the U.S. Army a field she had no prior experience in. Starting from zero, she trained herself to achieve the highest physical fitness award during basic training and excelled in logistics roles, earning several leadership and performance awards throughout her 7.5 years of service and 1 trip of deployment. She further expanded her skills through financial engineering education, security training, and leadership roles. Upon retiring from the military, Andrie once again pivoted, entering the tech world. In just six months, she transitioned from military logistics to completing a successful software engineering internship, mastering new technologies, languages, and delivering impactful projects. In addition to her corporate roles, she is the Founder of the OffChain Global Seattle Chapter, a hub that brings together entrepreneurs, investors, developers, and technologists in emerging tech fields like Web3, AI, AR/VR, and IoT, fostering vibrant, cross-functional communities.

Because you can't change the past, and in the past, you have made the best decision for yourself at that moment. It's not fair to judge yourself with the experience and the knowledge that you have now to judge the past of you not making the right decision. But it's not fair, because in the past you, at that moment, with the level of knowledge and experience, made the best decision. So there's no way for you to think the past and regret, and also there's you can plan for the future. But not to get too worried on whether I make a decision now. Would that lead to a different route that I would regret that I didn't take option B, because it's sort of irrelevant too, because you never know what it's going to lead to.  Lock In Early Pricing with CavnessHR As a subscriber to the Jason Cavness Experience, you can lock in early, discounted pricing before our official launch.

Ch. 11 - The Path of Power from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner THE LIGHT OF GOD. Ishvara, the Lord. Divine Luminescence. Seen with the mind's eye only through a mind that can see. I stared with eyelids drawn immobile at an empty black background. The shimmering disk of cool brilliance was not an object but an event, which eyes cannot see. My attention stayed with my breath as it had for days, the tiny touch of my life against thin skin. The awareness on that single point was almost unbroken. That stillness of mind created the light, the light that cannot be seen, only known, until I felt the light, breathed light as a tingly, glowing star. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 24 minutes 23 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

This immersive experience blends soothing ambient meditation music with the soft patter of rain sounds, the steady hush of white noise, and subtle 8 Hz theta wave binaural beats—a frequency known to enhance creativity, emotional healing, and deep meditative states.

Epicurus (341–270 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher who founded Epicureanism, emphasizing the pursuit of a tranquil, happy life through ataraxia (freedom from fear) and aponia (absence of pain). His teachings combined atomism, ethics, and naturalistic theology, advocating simple living, friendship, and the rejection of superstition.

Ch. 10 - The Great Elder from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner AFTER TWO WEEKS OF isolation in the forest, I left the monastery for a short time, mostly to find out about the possibility of returning to Burma. It had been rumored that tourist visas to that country were going to be extended longer than seven days. If so, I could return there soon, and possibly stay for as long as a month. The rumors proved false, however, and I was left with a very open end to my trip. There was no particular rush to get back to Burma now, since that would probably be the last stop on my way home. And I certainly wasn't ready to return home. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 24 minutes 24 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Ch. 9 - A Taste of Stillness from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner ON THE MORNING OF the tenth day I interrupted my return to the hut following my breakfast to catch my breath on a high flat rock that afforded a view of the entire valley beneath the monastery. The dawn haze had burned off, revealing the neighboring valley, whose sharply edged checkerboard fields stood out in contrast to the surrounding jungle. Perhaps I romanticized by calling this place “jungle” when, in fact, farmland was everywhere. But there is so much unclaimed land in Ceylon that nowhere in the countryside are you so far from the uncultivated forests that you'd not have second thoughts about wandering off in broad daylight, much less in the dark. No cobras here, though, the monks told me. The mongooses made sure of that. One of them was staring at me from a rock higher up the path. His elongated, rodentlike body was covered with prickly fur that made him look as though he'd been dunked in motor oil. His snoutish face was kind of cute, though, and I'd often seen the monks feeding these animals in the courtyard, as a good turn, no doubt, for the animal's appetite for poisonous snakes. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 20 minutes 53 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Ch. 8 - Unmeasured Time from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner THE ENTIRE ISLAND OF Ceylon has only eight million inhabitants, and as I stood idly waiting for a bus or walked through the streets of Colombo, the capital city, I no longer felt the constant psychic assault that I had been aware of in India. The most obvious difference, however, was that Ceylon was a Buddhist country. Even the most casual conversation easily turned to a common appreciation of the Dharma. There are probably no more Ceylonese who actually practice the heart of Buddha's teachings than there are real practitioners of any religion anywhere, but everyone I met at least understood the value of his teachings and was willing to support those who really did wish to pursue them. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 46 minutes 54 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Ch. 7 - No Way Off This Path from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner SIX OF US ARRIVED at the International Meditation Center in Rangoon late in the afternoon of the day the retreat in memory of U Ba Khin was to begin. A charming, middle-aged Burmese gentleman who produced movies for a living met us at the gate and immediately took us on a tour of the grounds. After all the build-up and expectation that had surrounded our trip, it was difficult to appreciate the fact that we were actually there. All we could do was gawk as we followed our host around. The most prominent feature of the Center was the arrangement of the meditation cells, the small individual rooms where one was expected to sit in darkness and silence for most of the day. They surrounded a large central pagoda that contained the shrine room where U Ba Khin himself had sat in meditation. Opening onto the shrine room were eight cells, which were also accessible by doors from the outside. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 29 minutes 48 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Featured in this episode are some words from legendary Lakota medicine man Lame Deer, some history and observations regarding the resplendent, distinctive and admirably adaptable Mazatec tribe of N. Oaxaca, and a brief bio of an under-appreciated Afro-Mestizo hero of early Mexican independence and abolition, Vicente Ramon Guerrero.I'll have much more to say about my time in Mexico, but I am still integrating the experience and these things require the massaging currents of time. Thank you for being alive and present, and for staying a supporter of the podcast, and thank you for understanding about the ebbs, flows and eddies of the creative process. un amor, lr kerkawwww TRACKLIST Deep Breath Relaxing Music - 15 Minute Deep MeditationJohn Fire Lame Deer - The Spirit Is In YouGirls Love Soul 019 ft.

Ch. 6 - Why the Buddha Sat Under a Tree from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner IMMEDIATELY AFTER HOVER's departure I had begun another retreat, and on New Year's Day Goenka's chanting brought to an end forty continuous days of meditation behind walls for me. An hour after the meditation ended, my monastic woolen shawl and white cotton pajama suit were tucked away in my bag, and I marveled at the strange feel of denim against my skin once again. by Eric Lerner 2025 26 minutes 45 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.
