DLM # 155 Adventures on the Wheel of Samsara ☸️

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, and Jai Ma!! Victory to the Mother!

And happy four years of attempting to spread wisdom and light into the world!

After listening to the sermon, you may object that it’s important to be “in the world” to help alleviate suffering. I agree, of course, we must all do what we can. But what I am suggesting is that there is something even more important than that: training yourself and your mind to such a degree that you are no longer unconsciously contributing to the cyclical regeneration of suffering in the first place. If with one hand we clean, and with the other, we are creating a mess, then the cycle just goes on ad infinitum. At some point, we must stop creating the mess in the first place and we can only achieve this with a highly trained and refined mind.

DLM # 152 Moonday Sermons

I like the word thalassic. For music this week, look up Tom Moulton’s remixes of the Philadelphia Classics and listen to all of them, then slowly, slowly, get really into Tom Moulton.

DLM # 151 Solar Cycles of Death & Rebirth 🌀🔥

It takes a lot of heart, man. That’s all I can say.

DLM # 150 Mindfullness or Singlemindedness?

It’s an important question we don’t ask ourselves enough. Should we be full of mind or should we be focused?

The external world is unreliable, it will not avail us, especially when we are using an untrained monkey mind to interact with it. Training is the only answer, the only pathway to liberation which begins within, inside our own minds, the scariest and most dogmatic place of all!
