What about the ESSENCE of money? Who created fiat (paper money printed in a private company) and for what reason (intention)? 😮

Can someone please share the verse of yoga bija book reference of Ha and Tha mentioned here.

I am doing research on purush sukt. Prakruti, is not existing nature. It is indeed before creation state. Sorry to interrupt you. 🙏

That's very clear, thank you! Where can we watch the next part of the talk?

Thank you very helpful.. I find Samkhya increasingly interesting the more I understand it. It is crudely, too simplistically represented sometimes.

Also this is a good one recommend to you: The Microscopic World 微观世界 | The Buddhist Worldview03 佛教的世界观（英文版）03 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4Pdgnyfj6trgdk

What is a world? The Buddhist Worldview--The “Shi” character in “Shijie”(world) represents time. As we know, there are three times: past, present, and future. The “Jie” character in “Shijie”(world) refers to directions, and three realms: the desire realm, the form realm, and the formless realm.

Thank you for this very interesting interview. I have had this love of both Christianity and Buddhism for many years but wish I could be more singularly devoted just to one. This has been very helpful and reassuring. I remember him from the tv programme, The Monastery.

If lord Vishnu is a manifestation of Purusha then is the manifestation done with the help of Prakriti?

How to get in touch with James in real life? I am also live in London

So the essence is... Intention of act's matters ... Same said in bhagwat geeta... Don't pay attention on results... Pay attention on karma( act) 🙃

Is it better do you think to be “ wise” or “to be happy” ?? In your view??

Fake person...

This modern householder position on homelessness misses the point on renunciation. Yogis renounced to not be attached to the world. A householder or layman cant accomplish this ego/boundary dissolution without psychedelics. Spirituality is pretty bullshit without extreme discipline (the path of asceticism) or drugs (psychedelic shamanism).

Great channel, going to check out some more of your videos. You could use smzeus . c o m it will help you get the views you deserve!

Money is not "just power". It is an institution, and it is a a key part and tool of a particular form of social and economic arrangment (capitalism) with creates terrible and unnecessary levels of material privation, and therefore suffering, for countless millions of people around the world. There were so many better and more obvious examples he could've chosen to make the point. "There is nothing wrong with... sense pleasure", for example (although, as we all know, many things which are good in themselves - and ultimately all things are good and beautiful - can in practice, to our unenlightened minds, become sources of distraction, frustration, or suffering). [I also love Kashmir Shaivism, but I don't think it is really very helpful to promote it as being conveniently "modern"... To be fair, I didn't listen beyond the first two and a half minutes or thereabouts.]

Dr Sarah Shaw - 'an amusing intellectual' - in my personal opinion at least...

Three cheers for 'cool dude' Ananda - my personal favourite of Buddha's immediate sangha - the last of the 12 to attain Enlightenment apparently - hi Sarah - she was my first Buddhist meditation teacher - i found her to be a very welcoming, interesting, and informative teacher indeed - she carried a seemingly knowing smile with her - i remember her, as my first former meditation teacher, with a warm heart...

Look at the headline,my God the arrogance ,how he discovered Hatha yoga, imperial mindset is engraved in their DNA , Doesn't matter in which world they live .

Has Carlos Pomeda written any books? Does he have any online courses?

The health practices are amazing meditating breathing eating vegetarian and herbals remedies also Indian. Christ fasted and prayed like a monastic monk in the dessert.

Nice effort by a foreigner. Jai Mahadev. Have you had an in-depth experience with Gheranda Samhitha.

Recomiendo la practica de Hatha Yoga.

Good to see Angela Voss on here! Thanks.

My name is Gavin flood to

Thank goodness for Jim.

Culture of these white people is wine woman and meat , , they hate indians , . Now they learn Vedas from India to show , how superior they are . .

Fascinating story!

All Elements in Classical Thought are divided into two categories: energy and matter. According to Vedas energy is purusha and matter is pracriti. # All Elements in Classical Thought have their source in the Emptiness / Vacuum. # Don't ignore ''Emptiness'' Every emptiness has something important. ========

thanks for this podcast, the connection of yoga and neoliberalism should be explored more deeply by scholars

Probably be a good idea to actually study Abhinavagupta ( Shaiva Tantra ) to recognize the way this "empirical" reality is merely an appearance or a doorway to the direct experience of the absolute dissolution of a separate self or a separate material universe - ie: no such thing as prakriti except as an object of mind for the kind of yoga that dissolves it.

The fashionable interest in panpsychism is a materialistic belief system that is quite similar to this Sankya school. Both depend on a material-istic self for a complete understanding of "reality"

Very nuanced introduction to purusa and prakrti. Enjoyed it very much. Kudos!👍

You simply live a spiritual life day in day out soooo whole world is your own home.

It ended suddenly just as it was getting interesting. Too bad.

The way this is different from the books is that the course intends to help enjoyment of the very long texts by explaining how oral literature works, how the texts are part of bhavana (practice), and to offer suggestions as to how to ‘read’ some of the mythology of the long texts as part of the path. There is of course some necessary overlap with material from other books. This applies particularly to the first two of the suttas, for explanatory purposes. But the aim of the series is different - this is to encourage people to feel confident when reading Dighanikaya texts (long discourses) for themselves. Numbers, for instance, are very important in Buddhism, but rarely explored, so there is quite a bit about that, and long texts as meditations too. I hope this gives an answer.

What new info does she share that isn't already in any of her books?

Brilliant thanks.

Don't use words Hinduism .. Santana Dharma is name..

Thanks Jim, really pleased to have recently heard some of your talks for the first time. Very helpful indeed.
