    183 Eternity's Sunrise ( William Blake)

    He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy He who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sunrise.

    182 : changing the Habitual Body

    The Habitual Body is like an exoskeleton of thoughts, preconceptions, karmic traces, emotions and aspirations. Some are obvious and familiar. Others are hidden and delicate but no less powerful.

    172 why is karma

    Perhaps Karma is embedded in the universe in the same way gravity, electromagnetism and Newton's laws of Thermodynamics. In which case why ask why? But still, I do.

    171 Vonnegut and Homer - Stories of a Good Dog

    My dog (Reggie) died recently which makes me very sad and reminds of two other good dogs.  Argos ( who waited for Odysseus's return and was the first being to recognise him) and Kazak, the Space Dog, who along with Winston Rutherford phases in and out of the galaxy in a Chrono-synclastic infundibulation ( Vonnegut, Sirens of Titan).

    170: time, a corporate job and meditation

    The quality of time, the 'kinds' of time that occur during a day at my corporate job helps to think about the moments in meditation.    More episodes on  meditation notes here: https://www.zenglop.net/zenglop/meditation/ Buy my book On Mortality and the Human Imagination (https://www.amazon.com/mortality-human-imagination-Andrew-Kaiser/dp/168818676X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=kaiser+mortality+and+the+human+imagination&qid=1605609759&sr=8-1) Subscribe to a newsletter for occasional updates on the podcast, videos and other writing. https://www.zenglop.net/zenglop/zenglop-the-newsletter.html And/or subscribe to youtube  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoOlX6NXyQBABYljo1vAuHA?sub_confirmation=1

    169: socratic aporia and quantum uncertainty

    The state of Bafflement gives rise to realisation, wonders, concerns, confusion, theories, hypotheses and notions.  I'd suggest that the intent of a dialogue with Socrates is to give rise to that phenomenon of Bafflement - rather than to actually answer any possible question.  And that this Bafflement is also the necessary precursor to approaching the role of the observer in Quantum physics.   More episodes on  meditation notes here: https://www.zenglop.net/zenglop/meditation/ Buy my book On Mortality and the Human Imagination (https://www.amazon.com/mortality-human-imagination-Andrew-Kaiser/dp/168818676X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=kaiser+mortality+and+the+human+imagination&qid=1605609759&sr=8-1) Subscribe to a newsletter for occasional updates on the podcast, videos and other writing. https://www.zenglop.net/zenglop/zenglop-the-newsletter.html And/or subscribe to youtube  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoOlX6NXyQBABYljo1vAuHA?sub_confirmation=1

    168: a story of thought and no-thought

    I often clarify ideas for this podcast during my morning meditation.  But during meditation I am trying to reach a state of equipoise.  Surely, following thoughts and realisations is a Wobble away from that intent?  Indeed it is.  So how does the activity of 'ordinary Mind' fit with the objectives of meditation?  Are we trying to halt thouse thoughts?  Arrest the process of mentation?
