“Lo and behold, I had what I simply could not deny being an experience of cosmic consciousness, the sense of complete fundamental total unity forever-and-ever with the whole universe. And not only that, but that what this thing was fundamentally—despite every thing and every kind of appearance in ordinary life to the contrary—that the energy behind the world was ecstatic bliss and love.” – Alan Watts

Freedom is not found in certainty, but in the wisdom that comes from seeing and embracing life as it is. Jack explores the different ways that freedom can be embodied and fully represented through the nobility of Spirit that is born into every being. When we uncover this freedom, to be who we are, to serve others, and to care for the world, we discover that it was our purpose all along.

Jack Kornfield - Heart Wisdom - Ep. 28 - Freedom And The Way It Is - Pt. 1

Jack continues his discourse on the nature of the freedom that is our true being. It does not arrive through the rearranging of circumstance or the discipline of self-improvement, but in the acknowledgment and allowing of all of life’s movements. The aim is not passive acceptance, but rather a relaxation that fuels the energy to respond as necessary. In knowing when to hold on and when to let go, we embody the gracious and honorable presence that characterizes our deeper self. 


Jack Kornfield - Heart Wisdom - Ep. 29 - Freedom And The Way It Is - Pt. 2

An exploration of the ways in which the quiet mind and open heart lead to wisdom, depth, and love. Our practice itself is an act of Love that gives us the ability to be present for all of humanity. Our growing capacity to feel our joys and sorrows allows us to live more freely in the energies of our life.

Jack Kornfield -  Heart Wisdom Hour - Ep. 39 - Emptiness And The Power Of Love

To create and maintain appropriate boundaries we must first understand what it is as we are approaching attachment, commitment and love. Jack offers a definition and reinterpretation of attachment to represent more compassionate qualities such as commitment, dedication and wise ambition. He encourages us to be present without the need to control, to show up but not be focused on the outcome. We learn to step back and listen to the world as a means of witnessing the play of life. Our opening will present itself, but only when our perspective is wide enough to discover the full range of potential.

Jack Kornfield - Heart Wisdom - Ep. 44 - Attachment Revealed

This talk from Roshi Joan Halifax looks at reversing the dynamic of the defended heart, and finding strength in vulnerability. 

Roshi reflects on:

- How our practice can confirm our inherent strength to uphold ourselves in the midst of any conditions. 
- To practice or realize fundamental equanimity and stay absolutely tender hearted. 
- "We are plagued by fear--fear in the experience of a separate and solid self. Which we need to define and defend."
- At times even our own spirituality can be put out there as a defense.
- Love is a meltdown that re-establishes a more unified base of brilliance goodness and sadness.
