THE ENDLESS PRACTICE Audiobook Excerpt 2

Deep Ecology extends an inalienable right to life to all beings. Yet as the naturalist Aldo Leopold observed, “One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds.” Either harden your shell, or be a doctor. Joanna Macy decided to be an Earth doctor. A systems theorist, author and lifelong activist, she describes how healing the world and healing your heart and soul go hand in hand.

Inalienable: Belonging to the Earth Community | Joanna Macy

“The world doesn't really contain any serious threats in it, because it's all the basic 'you' running up behind itself and saying 'boo' to see if you can get yourself to jump out of your skin...”

“Anybody who tells you that he is in some way, leading you to spiritual enlightenment is just like somebody who picks your pocket and sells you your own watch...”

“You just don't know what you're getting...”

“The only way to handle a thing of this kind, is to bring it all out in the open...”

“Whenever confronted with a Ghost, walk straight into it & it will disappear.”

Earth: Mostly Harmless

Alan Watts: Zen Problems

Thich Nhat Hanh shares a Christmas Eve talk from Plum Village in 2012. The practice of going home is a very deep practice. We need the energy of mindfulness. We don’t need a plane or train ticket to go home. There is a station – Radio NST – (non-stop thinking) and this doesn’t help us arrive home. Walking and breathing allow us to arrive. The more you are mindful and concentratesd the more pleasant. Help you stop the thinking and the worrying. Just walk and heal.

Christmas Eve 2012. I have Arrived. I am Home.

Matt Kahn is a spiritual teacher and highly-attuned empathic healer. His spontaneous awakening arose out of an out-of-body experience at the age of 8, and through his direct experiences with ascended masters and archangels throughout his life. Using his intuitive abilities of seeing, hearing, feeling, and direct knowing, as an empath, Matt feels the emotions of others and is able to pinpoint what blocks any heart from opening. As a result, he brings forth revolutionary teachings that assist energetically-sensitive beings in healing the body, awakening the soul, and transforming reality through the power of love. www.truedivinenature.com 

Matt Kahn - The Love Revolution: Learning to Love Your Own Heart!

KD is joined once again by Raghu Markus and Duncan Trussell at the Courage to Love retreat in Maui. The power trio takes a break from the action to fine tune some of the more profound and novel moments experienced at these gatherings. KD discusses ways to approach habitual patterns as well as how to create positive pathways in the mind. Other menu items include mantras, the feeling of being at home in Love, and the bittersweet nature of longing.  As always, no conversation from the Das brothers would be complete without some deep cuts from the Maharaji memory bank. Free Love for everyone.

Krishna Das - Pilgrim Heart - Ep. 17 - Maui Meetup, Round 2

This is a conversation with Maria Scordialos, an activist in Greece. We talk about the referendum, the solidarity economy, the role of fear in politics, the economics and politics of debt, and the revolutionary potential of authenticity in leaders. This is our first recorded podcast, and the sound quality is poor. Please excuse our learning curve.

Reconnecting to the Strength We Have: Maria Scordialos (E00) A New and Ancient Story

This is a podcast featuring a discussion between Charles Eisenstein and Nipun Mehta, the founder of Service Space, on kindness and generosity, non-monetary wealth, and how even small, simple acts of kindness alter the fabric of our world to have potentially enormous social and political consequences.

Changing the Story with Kindness (E01) - A New and Ancient Story

A conversation between Charles and Amy Lansky, a computer scientist and NASA researcher who was propelled down the road less traveled through her son's autism and its subsequent "impossible" cure. We talk about radicalization, skepticism, and gateways to synchronicity.

Synchronicty and the Impossible (E02) - A New and Ancient Story

A conversation with Chris Martenson, creator of the Crash Course, who like I have has moved beyond (way beyond) economics to explore systems change and narrative change. We talk about real wealth and fake wealth, community, technology, healing, and the impossible. A deep dive!

Deep Wealth and Transformation (E03) - A New and Ancient Story

Charles talks with Francis Weller about grief as a gateway to joy, to reverence, and to community, and the power of public grief to bring healing on a personal, community, and political level.

Of Grief and Reverence (E04) - A New and Ancient Story

Physician and award winning author, Dr Gabor Mate, discusses his
research at the intersection of addiction, science, psychology, and
compassion

Gabor Maté: The Mind/Body Connection

This podcast is a recording of a second conversation between me and Rupert Sheldrake, one of my favorite renegade scientists and the number one target of the defenders of scientific orthodoxy. He hardly needs any introduction, but I'll say he is prolific author and researcher with a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Cambridge University.  I see him as an elder or a pioneer in the liberating of science from its metaphysical dogmas of reductionism and mechanistic materialism, and a true practitioner of the Scientific Method in its original humble spirit. I hope you'll enjoy the intellect and refinement of this man as much as I did.
