"The invitation of spiritual life, of awareness or mindfulness—we could call it a sacred attention—is not to hurry up, fix, or make this human realm perfect or better. Nor is it to ignore it, but rather to awaken to what is each day as we meet it in our bodies, in our hearts, in our minds, in our family, in our community on this earth – to see it how it is, and to illuminate it with the heart, to illuminate it with our understanding and compassion, to find the basket of spirit that is here, and let that spirit shine in this human realm." – Jack Kornfield

In this episode, Jack dives into:

An old African wisdom story of a shepherd, his cattle, a dark forest, a lover, and a magic basket
Life, death, void, silence, and opening to the great mystery
Perception, consciousness, and Buddha's wisdom that mind is the principle element of creation
Listening, truth, timelessness, and The One Who Knows
The balance and connection between spirit and form
Rumi and the deep human longing to wed body and spirit
Buddha and the teachings of compassion
Breath, wholeness, and the eternal present
Moving past the fear body by breaking through the myth of seperation
