Buddha At The Gas Pump- Interview with Tony Parsons

 

Tony Parsons:

All there is is nothing apparently happening.

On the face of it this is a simple but paradoxical proposal. It is also radical in that it recognises that the concept of self is illusory, together with any belief in free will and choice. As there is nothing happening, there would be nothing to seek or to become.

Where to Go: Bayo Akomolafe

Where to go when the highway no longer leads to interesting places?

This talk is about what Bayo calls “ontofugitivity”: how things go astray, and how sedentary modern knowledges and expectations are being upset by the shocking performativity or fluidity of stability.

The talk is about the COVID-19 phenomenon, climate collapse, Yoruba indigenous contributions, the weird and modest politics of making sanctuary in light of the failures of neoliberalism and the dangers of progressivism, and the promise of descent.

The invitation of this talk is the call to go fugitive, to cultivate a federation of fugitive sharings – not as a way to deepen our sense of control, and not with an eye for “alignment”, but because we are exhausted and cannot keep reinforcing the web of relations we succinctly call “the human”.

(2019) The Awakening of Gaia | A Life Changing Documentary by David Al-Badri

This is the first instalment of the Awakening Documentaries. No one can be told what the Matrix is, you have to see it for yourself. We are all connected. The same material that make up our bodies come from the Earth, which in turn came from the universe. The crisis that humanity faces is a direct result of severing our connection to The Earth. Severing our connection to the Source. Allowing the corrupt ruling elite to remain in power as they manipulate us to compete with one another. We must awaken from our indoctrination as a species in order to redesign human civilization.

Many Minds, One Self: Evidence for a Radical Shift in Paradigm- by Richard C. Schwartz, Robert R. Falconer (book)

In Many Minds, One Self, Richard Schwartz, the developer of Internal Family SystemsSM, and Robert Falconer challenge the notion that we each have one mind from which emanate various thoughts, emotions, images, impulses, and urges. Although we were all raised in this mono-mind paradigm, it is an illusion because the mind is naturally multiple, containing an inner family of sub-personalities. Evidence for this comes from a wide variety of sources from thousands of years ago to the present. Each of us also contains an undamaged healing essence—the Self, which virtually every spiritual and shamanic tradition has discovered. Schwartz and Falconer chronicle this widespread evidence and present a compelling argument for the potential of this groundbreaking paradigm shift to bring harmony, connection, and positive leadership to the distresses of our planet.

SILENCE by Thich Nhat Hanh (FULL Audiobook)

In his book – Silence, Buddhist monk and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh explains how mindfulness is the practice that stops the noise inside. With gentle anecdotes, simple Buddhist wisdom and practical exercises, he shows us how to live mindfully so that all the internal chatter ceases and we are left with the eloquent sound of silence. Now, at last, we can answer the call of the beauty around us. Through silence, Thich Nhat Hanh reveals, we are free to hear, to see – and just be.
