Upaya Dharma Podcasts - Neurobiology of We part 1 of 9

Great stuff - looking forward to the whole series. Dan Siegel is one of my favorite dudes, a neuroscientist looking at mediation both from the 3rd person and 1st person perspectives. Not too many people doing that.

Neurobiology of We part 1 of 9

Speakers: Roshi Joan Halifax, Natalie Goldberg, Daniel Siegel, MD

Roshi Joan reminds us that when the Buddha awakened, he said, “I and all beings have realized the Way.” It is delusional to say there is any separation, and it is delusional to repress compassion for one another. Natalie Goldberg opens her part of the evening with simple instructions for the writing exercises, and Dan Siegel opens with questions about brain vs. mind. He asks us to consider the relationship between information flow and energy; he also asks us to consider the relationship between the subjective and the objective.
