"When we recognize that we are never separate from the Big Self, or Deeper Self, that has always been, we find that the small self is nothing more than an incomplete extension of Truth."

Jim is back from camp, and so is Dale. * Resurrection: Been there, done that * Jesus: Disciple of Buddha? * Legal Exorcism * Mormons vs. FLDS * Internet vs. Church

My surname is Kath pronounced in the Germanic languages I ve been told recently here as Kat with a short sharp T . I ve also found out that the Germans would automatically spell it with a K unlike most Australians, as my family have found want to spell it with a C . They should know, as this is the part of the world that this name comes from. I have Prussian heritage on the side of my family that the Kath name originates from and even though I m seven eights British it is my surname that is the one eight. So while I m here I have a small opportunity to explore my heritage. So three friends and I we went to Swidwin originally named Shievelbein in the days of Prussia but is now part of Poland to see where in the middle 19 century my ancestor Eduard(57) s a tiny village and we had limited time. They travelled from Europe in 1884 to settle at Glenco on the Darling Downs about 150 km west of Brisbane. Sadly from the information I have, old Eduard died within a year. We had a look around and here are a few images of the area including a quick trip to the Baltic Sea coast to relax before driving back to Berlin late in the early morning. There are more images on my flickr page linked on the left.

Walking home I realised it was time to share a few thoughts on what I ve been seeing in Berlin particually that there are still a few reminders of the the war  with the damage still visible either because you can see the repair with replacement of perfect stone or the original stone with the dents and chips of battle still present. Berlin is a vibrant city with a huge amount of construction happening to the extent that it seems a little overgrown I suppose because it s difficult to find the resources to maintain the city when it s so necesary to build and replace the damage of primarally the GDR times and to a lesser extent the war so many years ago. I also walked around the Holocaust Memorial which I had heard was an opressive and overwhelming place but I found it to be a stark but life filled space full of people exploring the mini canions and children playing hide and seek. Not a sad place at all but still a place of reverence.

"Buddhism offers the most profound critique or criticism of life imaginable in it's analysis of the role of ego, and of the nature of samsara, as well as in its basic doctrine of emptiness. There could hardly be a more profound critique of life then to say that neither your nor it exists." - Melvin McLeod Melvin McLeod, Editor-in-Chief of the Shambhala Sun and Buddhadharma magazines, joins us to share his perspective on the differences and similarities that Buddhist media sources have with more traditional media. Listen in to find out more about the philosophical underpinnings of a publication that has at it's heart a commitment to the teachings of non-ego. This is part 1 of a two-part series. Listen to part 2, The Inevitable Tension: Going Deep vs. Spreading Wide (airing next week).

Show Notes: In this podcast, Guy Finley reveals two incredibly powerful words that can help any sincere heart wake up to God's Life. Highlights: There are two incredibly powerful words. It is through these two words that we can actually begin to place ourselves where what is True, Right, and Bright can touch us. The two words are "I'm sorry." Most of us learn to say "I'm sorry" because it gets us through problems. Usually we say "I'm sorry", if we actually do, without any real sincerity behind the words. But only human beings have the capacity to be sorry. The capacity to be sorry comes from the recognition that you have missed the mark. But most of the time we are full of reasons why we are "in the right" to be who we are and behave the way we do. Life is bringing every human begin the never-ending opportunity to see where thought has created--out of itself--a monster in make-up. What a fine day it is when Humility born of Honesty replaces the pride that wants to keep in place what we have been in the past. "Our humiliation is our salvation." If you ever have to defend yourself, you've started from a position that is indefensible. Trying to prove to yourself that you are right never works. A moment of sorrow over being what you are is a moment of sweetness in God's Life because the sorrow comes as a result of a lesson learned--that usually all I am is consumed with myself. Learn what it means--inwardly--to place wanting to see what you are ahead of wanting to prove to yourself that you are what you take yourself to be. You can download this podcast here.

"At any moment the Yellowstone caldera could blow up, wipe out %99 of the life on the surface of the planet, and probably all humans, and in our last minutes the degree of equanimity with which we face that prospect is the test of our dharmic fortitude and wisdom." - James Hughes In our final episode with professor James Hughes we tackle the less rosy side of Transhumanism, which has to do with massive existential threats and risks. Though there are many natural risks that could threaten humanity as a whole, including large asteriod collisions, gamma bursts, and super volcanoes, the Transhumanist recognize a whole host of other ways that we could threaten ourselves with advanced technologies. In addition to discussing these threats and all of the possible side traps on the way toward a more techno-utopian future, James ties these together with our understanding of the dharma. He argues that even in a techno-utopian future (assuming we make it), we will still have to deal with annica the ever changing flow of reality. This is part 3 of a three-part series. Listen to part 1, Transhumanism and the Authentic Self and part 2, Cyborg Buddhas & Techno-Utopian Pure Lands!
