The School for Mystics

In the Gospel of Matthew, specifically in the part known as the Beatitudes, we find a description, attributed to Jesus, of the qualities that we would need to develop in ourselves in order to receive blessings or consider ourselves blessed. The disciplines the text points to– meekness, hunger and thirst, purity of heart-, are sometimes understood as negative qualities in today’s world.

In this episode we do a deep but fresh exploration of the Beatitudes, coming up with new messages, interpretations and points of view that are easier to understand and more relevant today.

From this episode you will understand:

- The deep meaning of forgiveness and an understanding of sharing you’ve probably never thought of before,

- How life guides us and why you can fully trust it,

- How to see, understand and collaborate with what is.

Starting with the popular concept “first fix yourself and then fix the world”, we will then travel to other perspectives to understand why you don’t need to fix anyone and anything, but discover what is already present and use it wisely.

And...how about feeling that everything is now and everything is already complete?

Join us in this episode and try to dive into a radically new understanding.

The creation of concepts, judgements and beliefs is inevitable in us, it is part of our human design and happens without our active participation or will. We can only see and become aware of them once they’re already there.

But in becoming aware of those thoughts lies the possibility of renouncing them, and that is a valuable exercise that opens the door to alternative points of view in us. When we give up what we have already seen, we get the chance to look at what we have not seen.

Not having your spirit limited by beliefs and concepts, not having your perception tainted by judgments, but finding your spirit completely open – is the key to seeing new.

In this episode we will take a fresh look at the Beatitudes (The Sermon on the Mount) – a collection of sayings and teachings of Jesus Christ that is found in the Gospel of Matthew, and that emphasizes and captures the essence of his moral teachings.

Maybe in revisiting them with new eyes, we will get to find the nugget of truth that is relevant not only today, but always.

From this episode you will learn:

- Contrarian meanings of the Beatitudes in nowadays life.

- The new interpretations of the Beatitudes that we have found and work for us in this moment in time.

- How you can find a radically new truth that works for you now.

We never really know what is going to change our lives, it could be anything at any given moment. Oftentimes a very challenging and difficult situation becomes the catalyst for a change of trajectory in our life, and only later, looking back, can we understand its importance and be grateful for it.

Have you ever experienced such grace in a situation that seemed negative at first sight?

In this fifth podcast we will share with you two such stories, ones that enclose the bitter-then-sweet taste of remarkable lessons brought to us by teachers and life, that began looking difficult but ended up being gems in and for our journey.

You will learn:

How Marina found herself in a Thai monastery in the middle of nowhere,

In which ways the mysterious word the Buddhist nun kept repeating to her, -“Iddappacayata”, which means interconnectedness of life- has changed her life completely.

What Misha found in an $18 Byron Katie’s book that has shown him the real world,

And why a long-term MBA-training for $ 250,000 cannot compete with Byron’s lessons.

Marina and Misha will share with you what they’ve discovered -and keep discovering- thank to those crucial moments.

You will also learn how to distort your understanding of life in order not to distort reality.

Interesting? The answers are waiting for you in this episode.

Do you set goals for yourself?

Have you ever thought about the nature of goals?

We often set goals to escape from current reality. We also set goals because society thinks is a good way to live our lives.

But are all the goals must be achieved to make you feel satisfied?

Why do people mostly give up when they fail?

The truth is that successful people fail more than anyone else. But their success means that there is a way to overcome laziness, fear and lack of motivation.

From this episode you will:

– learn how to set goals that will bring you joy along the way, not only when you reach them,

– see the difference between action, passive and massive actions and choose the one that will bring you to the result,

– understand the true reasons you give up,

– realize that failure is just a thought and if so, you can find thoughts that won’t let you give up.

Listen and find them out!

In this podcast we will explore happiness.

We all want to feel better. But there is always a crisis for someone — for different people in different time. Today it seems we all have crisis at the same time.

Many would believe that if you don’t feel the negative part of live you won’t see the beautiful part, because there would be no contrast. This is an illusion.

What if we tell you that circumstance doesn’t really matter for your sense of happiness?

“What matters then?” you’ll ask.

The answer is in this episode.

You will also realize:

- Why events don’t make you happy

- What illusions never let you feel happy

- And how to hack the matrix of illusions
