Episode #16: Think Different

In this episode, George Falcon covers some of the same themes he returns to again and again: we are free and we just need to remember that; who we really are is not who we think it is; the difference between doing/having/wanting vs being; and the inescapable relationship between our experiences and our beliefs. All these ideas require us to “think different” so in the introduction, Zebediah Rice tries to come to terms with what “thinking different” means, whether “being still” is really such a good idea and what a life of doing nothing actually looks like.

Episode #15: Leaf, Tree, & Forest

Zebediah Rice begins this episode by sharing some of the insights he learned from Peter Wohlleben’s best-selling book, “The Hidden Life of Trees.” It turns out that trees do all sorts of extraordinary and almost human-like things. For example, they care for each other, have memories, make friends, think, and talk with each other. And scientists have shown that humans can hear this tree conversation, albeit at an unconscious level. In this episode, Zebediah Rice has selected several clips from his library of recordings of George Falcon’s talks where this idea of tree’s ability to communicate and remember is discussed and used as a metaphor for the human connection to the divine. In Wohlleben’s book we learn that following the lessons from the higher or greater elements in the natural chain from leaf to tree to forest gives each tree the power to realize its full potential. Primarily using Christian language (since that was the audience), but also alluding to Hindu, Buddhist and Taoist concepts, George Falcon explains that, as with individual trees, each of us individual humans, if we follow the rules set out by the universe and allow life to do its job rather than each of us trying to control the details of our fates, can live the best life possible.

Episode #14: Training the Mind

In this episode we do things a little differently. You may notice in the podcast line-up there are a number of Guided Meditations. In addition to George Falcon’s standard guided meditations of varying lengths, you will also see a series of Guided Training Meditations. In today’s episode the focus is on these training meditations. You’ll see them with names like Refiling, Split Screen, and Fire and the Well and in this episode you will hear Zebediah Rice and George Falcon explain how and why to do them, and why they work.

Episode #13: The Content of Awareness is Not You

In this episode, George Falcon reminds us that who we really are has nothing to do with phenomena. We are not an object or anything with form, characteristics, attributes, or limits. We are not subject to time, space, motion, or electromagnetism. And we have no beginning or ending or duration. He then goes on to explain who we really are and how to remember that using his metaphor of The Three Bags and the model of Consciousness vs. Awareness. The trick, he explains, is that consciousness is fashioned, by us, to create our experience. We have the power to fashion reality as we wish so why not make it great? We just have to anchor our identity in Awareness and accept the power that is ours by definition. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for privacy and opt-out information.
