Is Fixation "THE" Necessary Cause for Suffering? ~ Shinzen Young

[@Woto4]

I want to be looked at the way Stephanie looks at Shinzen 😅

[@juangarcia5876]

Here because of Nick Cammarata (again)

[@greenbeans7573]

yep, I still don't understand tanha though, and how it's different from dukkha. Nick mentioned it once a few months ago and that was the first time I'd ever looked into it because before then I just dismissed it as another obscure Pali/Sanskrit word on an infographic I didn't understand. I have one particular aversion that no matter how hard I try or don't try, always remains long-term. I can fully embrace with lots of patience, and then the suffering goes away and is replaced with massive bliss, but that is utterly temporary, and the suffering returns just the same after the meditation is over. I don't know how people like Frank Yang lock-in their insights long-term. Perhaps a level of concentration that just too far out for me at present, or not being open-minded enough (Frank has done much more intense trips than I have).

[@juangarcia5876]

Agreed. I wish there was a "tanha mental mechanism guide for complete noobs". Nick describes it as a "fast grabby thing", which is 0% helpful for actually becoming aware of it.

Thanks for the wonderful video. I'm curious if you ever looked up / found the metaphor to the potter's wheel?

Many... years of medical research at the HeartMath Institute in Boulder Creek, California, have shown that our brain is an extension of the heart and the heart has its own intelligence. Half the cells in the heart are neurons, or nerve cells--the same type of cells that are in our brain. (Jaqui Neurauter) continued in next post

scott kiloby, an enlightened man, has started an addiction rehabilitation centre. he has videos on youtube and books available on exacty what shinzen is talking about here.

[@dennismason3740]

Shinzen has a Stephanie on one shoulder and the Critic on the other. Paradox!

[@Heartbeat1948]

Steph, thanks for this. I hope you will share more of this sharing with Shinzen. I am sure there is more the 13 minutes

[@Heartbeat1948]

The heart starts beating in an unborn fetus before the brain is formed, and it has its own independent nervous system. The heart doesn't need to be connected to the brain in order to beat, as demonstrated in heart transplants. and yes the heart sends out far stronger signals then the brain...I find that the Science of the "heart" and the science of Embryology are critical to a more Holistic view of what it's all about.

[@andrews7414]

It’s so curious that you would mention this, because you can see gaps in meditation teachers who seem to be all logic vs teachers who are heart based, There don’t appear to be any gaps when approached with the heart. This is coming from someone who found this path from watching people very closely all my life.

[@dennismason3740]

@Shinzen Videos - Stepanie leads an ohm session and some of the adventurous participators actually sing weird harmonies and they are unexpected and perfect. You know this is a good idea. I expect a video soon, kids. Ohm.

[@Heartbeat1948]

The heart is very important and part of the physiological equation and I feel the most important. The heart in heart transplant does NOT reconnect to the nervous system...how does it function? The heart pumps on it's own. The science of Embryology has really shown how we develop and the nervous system does not show up until about 17 days into the whole "shaping". And what comes first are heart cells then the heart before the brain...

[@ensom]

great presentation, shinzen!

[@Heartbeat1948]

thanks for asking that question Steph...:-)

[@dennismason3740]

So once upon a time there was a genius named Brian Eno who is British (and sounds like it) and Brian is so well loved that he has to ride a bicycle to avoid his entourage! "Brothers from another mother" said Shinzen Young's most ardent fan to Shinzen and Shinzen thought, "wtf?" and the fans decided to bring the two dudes together! More later...(help me somebody!)...

[@Heartbeat1948]

Listening 2 years later...holy cow !

[@kartoffeldrucker]

listening 9 years later... Holy cow! and holy other animals. May all beings be free from suffering🙏 go vegan

[@adityapatange8]

Nice Aptitude U3

[@andrews7414]

This is now being done but with association to ADHD. 🎉

[@MomentsGap]

But its now well known the heart sends more infor to the brain than the opposite...

[@orlandog7531]

stephanie Hot,.... Noted,... back to equanimity...lol

[@danielr3522]

I'll be honest, I was finding it hard not to fixate :D

[@BeOutstanding]

unlearn fixation

[@alaeifR]

LSD does this already
