Alex and Amanda explore the voice or murmur that seems to play in the background.

The music score of our experience that is often negative and rarely helpful.

Alex and Amanda explore how universal and generic these stories and judgements are which begs they question: who is it that these judgements refer to?

Alex and Amanda explore how Through the Looking Glass describes the experience of seeing that we are a fluid thoughtstream, without edges…where before there was an illusion of a solid ME gazing out into a solid world….now there can be a softening of all the edges and we find ourselves falling through the looking glass of thought. Falling freely as we always have been.

“You are a collage of memories struggling against ideas.

You are the tension between the conceptual storm on the outside and the sublime quiescence in the center.

You are the dream of separation.

There is nothing higher or better than you in the entire manifested universe.

If you could see yourself through my eyes for one second you would be stunned into permanent euphoria.”

Michael Markham

“We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.” 

― Alan Watts

nature
self and how this far off nebulous ideal can cause a never ending striving and subsequent suffering.

Any concept of becoming is false —  this ideal self we seem to be moving towards or away in actions does not exist in any material way.

Your brain fills in the blanks

That’s it’s job 

And nothing is more blank than your future 

And all it can offer is what it remembers. It is the remembered past - not an objective past but a perceived recollection that changes every time it is recalled

And that’s like driving ahead while looking at the rear view mirror only

Love After Love

The time will come 

when, with elation 

you will greet yourself arriving 

at your own door, in your own mirror 

and each will smile at the other's welcome, 

and say, sit here. Eat. 

You will love again the stranger who was your self.

Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart 

to itself, to the stranger who has loved you 

all your life, whom you ignored 

for another, who knows you by heart. 

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, 

the photographs, the desperate notes, 

peel your own image from the mirror. 

Sit. Feast on your life.

Amanda and Alex explore how strange it is to be alive

This is an exploration on all the facets of what we call love

Love as the underlying energy of aliveness that needs nothing from us or others.

The love that knows no conditions as it knows no-thing at all.

The immediacy of love showing up as us every single moment

You don’t need more money, more patience, more information, more time. You don’t need anyone else, not even yourself

Because love is enough

Right now in this moment

The Cauldron is a metaphor for the experience of sprinkling little ideas and inspirations into the void of the unknown—the cauldron where we don’t know what will transpire, but with a certain degree of playfulness and curiosity we are enchanted by the happenings that we have no control over.

“Web of thought spins itself into this dream world and we are its enchantment.” Nancy Neithercut

Exploring the idea of the spider in the web- what is this phenomenon that takes ownership of feelings, thoughts, experiences…the very web of life itself?

The spider, when identified in as our selves, elicits the impulse to resist, push away, or bring in what looks like the better web to weave. 

What would it be like to recognize the spider as simply the weaving of the web, rather than separate and troublesome?

Does the mind’s function to make sense of things give us an illusion of being in control? 

What happens when nonsense is made? Does that make us feel out of control? 

We explore in this episode how sense and control seem to be inextricably linked, and how by noticing this phenomena, we have the capacity to embrace the impulse to make sense of things without added suffering if it all goes awry!

“In a place called Lost, strange things are found.”

The Lost Bookshop

What does it mean to be or feel lost?

The deconstruction of the story into its sensed parts (including thinking) with no assumed continuity or cause and effect.

The connotation of "being lost" is that of being disoriented and that this is a negative thing. Yet it is often the orientation of knowing and of imagining a certain outcome or future where our suffering comes from.
