Cutting For Sign with Ron Cecil and Daniel Penner Cline

Ron Cecil and Daniel Penner Cline

Cutting For Sign is a tracking term that means to follow clues. We use it as a metaphor for finding and becoming one's more whole, more authentic self. We have conversations with individuals who have 'cut for sign' in their life, who have sensed the clues, details, intuitions and meaningful moments that have led them to their truer selves and unlocked their potential.

    82 Venerable Robina Courtin - Tibetan Nun

    The Venerable Robina Courtin has been A Buddhist nun since the late 70s. She was born in Melbourne, Australia, where she was educated by Catholic nuns, and studied classical singing. In 1976, she met some Tibetan lamas, and received ordination as a monastic eighteen months later, in Kathmandu. She has worked since then with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition, the worldwide network of the Tibetan Buddhist teachers, Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. She has also served as editorial director of Wisdom Publications, editor of Mandala magazine, and executive director of Liberation Prison Project, which she founded in 1997 and which helped prisoners with buddhist practices. Robina's life and work was featured in the documentary film Key to Freedom and the award winning film, Chasing Buddha. Additionally, a recording of her singing prayers and mantras, entitled Devotion, was produced in 2018. Robina believes in action, in doing things that help one know one’s mind deeply and well, that we need to unpack the mind, to unravel its contents, deconstructing layers of thoughts and feelings, emotions and assumptions, and thereby beginning to reconstruct the cognitive processes at the basis of our emotions. The way to do this is through the, in her own words, brilliant, marvelous, sophisticated psychological techniques that we call meditation. And of meditation she said, "It is not a relaxation technique, but a training…why? So in our daily life we can see what the hell is going on in this mind of ours. Some people can sit for 30 minutes, very comfortably. They’re just spacing out, feeling good. That ain’t meditation baby.” CONTACT ROBINA COURTIN Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robinacourtin/?hl=en Website: https://robinacourtin.com/ CONTACT RON CECIL Website: https://www.roncecil.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rcecil/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ron.cecil CONTACT DANIEL PENNER CLINE Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dpennercline/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1498866808 Support CFS through PATREON or ANCHOR.FM

    79 John Silvestri - Painter and Musician

    John Silvestri is a musician and painter. His artistic ability was noticed at the age of eight when he had his first public showing in the St. Louis Art Museum. After studying art in college, he apprenticed in Italy under modern painter and sculptor, Salvatore Leto. His art has been reviewed on international art talk radio as well as in several editorials, including the Herald Tribune, USF Oracle, and The Oregonian. At the age of 12, John began to discover a musical talent as well and in 2011, his original music scored the movie Prime of Your Life which was selected to Cannes Film Festival. Currently, his rock band Audio Orchid is based in Sarasota Florida. For many years, he drew on the synergy, and at times conflict, between his life as an artist and his devotion to music. The two passions have come to fuel each other and at times harmonize. Ideally, he plays music like he paints, and when he paints, he uses realizations arrived at through music. John values laughing his ass off, enjoying life every day, and at the same time, not delaying, procrastinating, or beating around the bush of one’s dreams. He believes in doing what he is passionate about, doing it now, as much as possible, as well as he can, and not bullshiting himself along the way.
