The Pavement Was His Enemy

episode 8 ‘Drama Wednesday’ ‘You are allowed one choice today: Depression or anxiety’ Family troubles back in Italy plague Davide this morning. * How do you deal with the situation in which your father is suffering from dementia and needs to move into a facility that provides better care for him? * Bram returns from his adventures in Mandali, Italy. And notices big shifts in his mood since his return. He is also back on the phone (corona test number). Clocking big hours. * Bram is also in the process of starting a new education. At the moment it looks like Physiotherapy. * Now the pair can celebrate their first ever subscriber! Other topics in this podcast: * Use the recordings to explain and outline more where both of Bram and Davide come from in terms of their Buddhist training. * Buddhist core principles called: View, Meditation and Action Subtopics: What is your view? Bram: For me meditation is the practical expression of the inherent view (outlook on life) ‘cultivation of active perception on life itself’ Pyramid structure: the relationally of V,M,A makes it very powerful. When view becomes an outlook on life, Bram calls it a willingness to work with his perception of life. * Perception can be influenced and it is worth investing in. * What is perception? And how much influence do I have on it myself. Davide: Difference between what I studied about the view and how I experience it. * In practice my view is very different from what I studied, when I look at my reaction More: ‘If you take away religion we are reduced to beasts’ Deeper discussion of Buddhism Cause and condition Reality doesn’t operate conceptually.

Get to the chopper (end of 2020 special)

Closing the year, reflecting on the root cause for their podcast. I.e. the Corona outbreak and their subsequent individual and entrepreneurial challenges. As per usual, the pair then goes into the deep end with an analysis of 'clinical mental illness' and their thoughts on how all human beings potentially share the same root in their minds but differ in severity and ability to 'handle' their 'symptoms'. Closing their recording with a very happy new year to all listeners new and old. Happy new year all! Davide & Bram
