Episode notes

There is still conceptuality operating because there's still some kind of sense of a something. The whole experience is happening in time, even if it's just a sense of the now. So for me, the still concept wrapped up in that very, very, very faded attenuated, I'm extremely refined and actually wondrous and mystical and lived experience is still involves conceptuality.

In this conversation with meditation teacher and author Rob Burbea we discuss the role of fantasy in meditation, the purpose of what Rob calls the 'Soulmaking Dharma' and some common traps that can obstruct our connection with beauty on the contemplative path. This was the first conversation I had with Rob (there are two more you can listen to in the Emerge podcast stream). For various reasons I decided not to release it immediately after we recorded it, feeling that the subsequent conversations did a better job of communicating what I wanted to communicate. There were also some nasty recording problems that made it difficult at times for the conversation to be fluid and flowing. In any case this is a lovely coversation and I hope you enjoy! 🙏
