Gin And Tantra

In this final episode of our four part conversation, Lama Glenn continues to be on one of his inimitable rolls! . . . He starts out advocating for the traditional medicines of the world, but then continues on to consider the Buddhist Principle that the Main Factor in One’s Life is How One Sees The World. He makes recommendations for resources for further study, along the way outlining the Stages of the Tantric Path, all the way down to the most Subtlest Aspects of One’s Own Mind and Being, The Buddha Nature and the “Penis Imprint of God” . . . Well, it’s hard not to be at least a little curious about what that could mean? . . . Enjoy the Episode.

In this episode, Lama Glenn serves up a Full-On, Spiritually Intoxicating, and Over-flowing Cocktail Glass of Gin and Tantra . . . He was really on a roll!  Actually, as someone who has know him for a decently long time, this is really one of my favorites of his unique presentations of Tantric Thought and Practice. He talks about how to seek a Personally Tantrically Meaningful and Joyful life in a World too often Run by “Thugs and Buffoons”--How True!  And then he specifically outlines the Buddhist Practices that can help one do that, including Creatively Seeing the World as Joyful, Divine, and Interconnected and Overcoming what Einstein Called “Optical Delusion.” Enjoy the Episode.

In this episode, we chat with Lama Glenn about different types of “Spiritual Lifestyles:" Whether one is a "Spiritual Beggar," as Monastics are called in the East, or a “Spiritual Seeker,” living life as a Layperson, as they also do in the East and most of us will do in the West. We also talk about Fun in Spiritual Practice, and how many times a day a Good Buddhist can have Sex—The Answer May Surprise You . . . Enjoy The Episode.

In this first of four episodes, we chat with the jovial, profound and enlightening Glenn H. Mullin, or simply Lama Glenn to his students.  We ask him about his roots in Canada prior to his traveling to India to meet the Dalai Lama, and what influenced him to pursue this Path.  Lama Glenn tells stories of Canada, England, India and Tibet, Lives and Lives between Lives, and the challenges and dangers of being a Mystic in the West.  Through it all, he teaches the Tantric Concept of Outer, Inner, and Secret . . . Enjoy The Episode. 

This episode is the conclusion to our Mindfulness discussion and we discuss physics and reality, if society harms or helps the passing along of traditions for philosophy/religion/etc.  We discuss the monetization of authenticity and blending it all together in the world we live.

" A human being is part of the whole world, called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish the delusion but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind."

Albert Einstein

In this episode we discuss Mindfulness!  What it is, where it came from. Is it Religious, Secular?  Pro's and con's.  Too commercialized, not enough?  We also discuss MC Hammer and banana peels!   

In this second part of the series we are calling Psychedelic Adventures! Mother Ayahuasca, I detail my first journey with the medicine (Ayahuasca) and many of the thoughts, feelings and emotions I went through at this time.  Some key points we discussed were adventures in life, ceremonies and ritual,  re-framing shame and accepting forgiveness.  There is a lot more so check it out!

Thanks for tuning in!  These episodes titled Psychedelic Adventures detail some of our experiences with psychedelics and how they have affected our lives.  This episode details the beginning of my trip to Peru to work with some of their Indigenous Shamans in their most sacred of settings.  In addition to the outlining of the initial stages of my journey we discuss authenticity, seeing beyond the appearances of people and things, intention and the importance of your personal network.

In this series of episodes we continue our talks on life, and the aspects of life between lives.  So we turn to the Tibetan Book of the Dead, or the Book of the Between as its more aptly translated.  In this episode we Discuss the problem with translations and translating from one language to another (English in particular).  We begin to discuss the text and how its reflective of life and the numerous rebirths we go through daily and in periods of our lives.  How does one read for meaning and we discuss 'Clear Light'.
