Understanding
Waking up to the revelation of mind.
Overview
Courses in the level 200 Understanding program area address
perception and cognition directly, examining how we construct experience from
the raw data of our senses, and how our preconceptions and memories influence
our behavior and outlook. This can reveal a way of understanding that dissolves
our problems and blossoms into creative freedom. As it is, beset by
misunderstanding, our world staggers from one crisis to the next. Imprisoned by
our own concepts, blind to the effects they have on our behaviors, it’s hard to
find a way forward. The path of understanding addresses these problems
directly. We’ll begin with how mind can examine mind, then explore inner
narratives. Then, we’ll deepen our understanding of the ongoing relationship
between what we see and what we think, revealing a freedom within mind that is
totally unexpected.

Well, what happened prior to the Big Bang?
I remember back when I was in college it was blasphemy to ask my astronomy professor, “Well, what happened prior to the Big Bang?” I never bought the story that there was some first cause to the universe or that the Big Bang was the birth of space and time.....
Mindfulness Traps and the Entanglement of Self:
Mindfulness meditation can provide salutary therapeutic benefits, as well as lead
advanced practitioners to states of calm and equanimity. In this paper, we argue that
such forms of meditation may subtly entrap practitioners in circular, self-reflexive
feedback loops.
The Corporate Mindfulness Scam (w/Prof. Ron Purser)
Does management teach "mindfulness" to create compliance with a broken system that continues to inflict moral injury on frontline workers? Going beyond McMindfulness to truly wake up to what's here, now.
