episode 876: Mind is Not the Enemy
Nagabodhi explores a common misconception about how we’re supposed to stop all thought in meditation. Thought more generally can be very useful and could even be said to be one of the things that makes us human, but it becomes a problem when it runs away with itself and we start living in a ‘secondary reality’ most of the time.
From the talk entitled Direct Experience, part of the series The Two Arrows: Dukkha to Insight given at Adhisthana, 2020.
