In this episode we discuss Binary Thinking. We look at its strengths, its misconceptions, how it fits into a broader thinking spectrum and how it can be used for pronunciation of thought.  We also look at the song ‘Circus’ by Britney Spears and discuss how her lyrics serve as an example of binary thinking. She writes; “There's only two types of people in the world. The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe” – a statement we discuss in relation to self-knowledge, self-understanding and what it means to learn through observation.

In this episode we discuss the song King Park by the American Post-Hardcore band La Dispute. The song uses story telling forms and active imagination techniques to bring the listener to an acute emotional experience. We discuss why these experiences are important, how they are used for breakthroughs, how they fit into a larger perspective of the human condition and what it means to be open to the emotional sphere. We differentiate ‘transcendent breakthroughs’ and ‘emotional breakthroughs’ and we further discuss related components and techniques of the break through.

In this Series Dosta demonstrates the inquiry imperative: Tell Me Who Is Speaking.

This technique was inspired by the Consciousness of Truth Awareness Intensive that was pioneered by Charles Berner and Mona Sosna. By gazing into a mirror and repeatedly answering the imperative, participants found a way to open to self-awareness and their own higher Consciousness. This series is an experimental exploration of immediacy, spontaneity and speaking from the present moment.
