    The Hidden Escape Inside Meditation

    Meditators often perpetually want to get somewhere else. In fact, this is one of the core markers of the human experience: there is always a subtle turning away from the present. This inevitably comes into meditation itself: meditators are not there to be there, but to be elsewhere. This episode is a snippet from my Wednesday 22/3 episode, Why Meditators Stall on the Path.

    Newbie Meditators Have Unrealistic Expectations

    Meditators often have wildly unrealistic expectations regarding what meditation is, what its effects are, and where it eventually leads us.

This is a short snippet from my episode on 11th March, Is Enlightenment the Right Word?

    What The Word "Enlightenment" Does Right

    Despite problems, the word enlightenment does capture two real aspects of awakening: transformation and insight. This is a short snippet from my episode Is Enlightenment The Right Word? on Wednesday 11/3.

    Is Enlightenment The Right Word?

    We use the word enlightenment all the time in spirituality. But it might actually be one of the most misleading words in the entire field. It suggests a climactic transformation, a final state, something rare and special. Yet the lived experience of awakening is usually quieter, slower, and far more ordinary.

    The Late Stage of Meditation

    Perhaps 1% or fewer practitioners reach late-stage meditation, where awakening has permanently altered one’s perception. Late stage says: “There is no centre for awakening to happen to.” This is a snippet from my episode from Wednesday 11/3, The Three Stages of Meditation.
