What kind of world orders are present in this vast multiverse, what beings might inhabit these worlds, and what is the purpose of it all? Most importantly, how are they all interconnected with each other and the ultimate unity? In previous episodes, we explored the cosmologies of Tantric Shaivism and Tibetan Bon Buddhism.

KNOWINGDesireDesire is often misunderstood, sometimes seen in a negative light or, in certain traditions, portrayed as something to be avoided—characterized as sinful. However, the truth is that all our actions originate from desire. It propels us toward our goals, serves as inspiration, facilitates our pursuit of intimacy, and motivates altruism. What if we were to perceive human desire as an asset rather than a liability?
Is desire more profound than mere cravings for the latest gadgets or status-symbol possessions like houses, cars, or a significant other who might elevate our social standing? In this show we’ll e...2024-05-1049 min

Retreats can lead us to unify the inner with the outer and bring us closer to wholeness.Listen in as Amida...2022-04-0248 min
