Daniel Treisman: There's been a kind of epistemological monoculturing of the human experience in the globalized world. And what I see is this conceptual model allows for an infinite bifurcation forking to happen from that monoculture. We'll explore that in more detail in future shows if Rob agrees to come out. But for now, let's just kind of leave it there and we'll unpack that as we go on.Treisman: Thank you so much for coming on the show and being willing to have this. I see a very important conversation.
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! 🙏
