Apologies for the strange audio on this one, our boy didn’t have his mic connected. Hopefully the message still shines through. Find your Dharma Gate, and go through it.

The Four Faces of Mara

You can find the full article here: The Four Faces of Mara

 

The Four Faces of Mara:

1. Mindlessness
2. Distraction
3. Mind Wandering
4. Reactivity

The Remedy:

1. Meditate
2. Do Dharma Sprints
3. Eat Death Cookies
4. Share art like the world depends on it.

 

As you’ll hear, the failing of the executive attention system and the absence of metacognitive awareness might be the cause of unhappiness in our society. Any skill that can improve these are key and meditation is by far the most effective one we know of. Learning to navigate the shimmer has never been more important, and the potential on the other side has never been greater.
