Do You Have A Practice
Author: Rob Scott
Sun, Apr 29, 2007
This talk is meant to suggest the importance of a regular meditation practice. The pull of the world, and the normal distractions and natural egoic self builders don’t remind us that we need to see that there is more than thought. There is experience. We can exist without our minds running all [...]

Something a little different today. No talking. Just watching.
What do the faces say to you? Where do our minds go as we walk through this life? How many of us are really here, and when are we most here? There’s the pigeon, and the playing. The begging, and the pain… The energy underneath it all.

Looking Through Other Peoples Eyes
Author: Rob Scott
Sat, Mar 31, 2007
Many talks I’ve given have been about the perspective shift of being able to look through other people’s eyes. And while this is a deeply important skill to develop to inform ourselves and to evolve, if not done from a place of health, it can lead to enabling co-dependent behavior.
Healthy perspective shifting includes:
Understanding that someone [...]

Learning to be Detached
Author: Rob Scott

I was recently having a discussion with a good friend of mine. He mentioned that people who have had trauma and have learned to detach to protect themselves would make great Buddhists. They may have spent their lives not attaching to things because things or events had hurt them in the past. [...]

Do We Change The World Or Accept It
Author: Rob Scott
Mon, Feb 26, 2007
Surrendering to the moment is a very important teaching. Learning to accept what is, is one of the fundamentals of growing spiritually.

Sat, Feb 17, 2007
A teenage boy just heard that Tommy wants to fight him in the schoolyard. He feels fear, but it’s not OK to feel fear. He’s supposed to be a man. He’s supposed to be tough. Or at least that’s what his belief system is telling him.

From Clutter to Clarity
Author: Rob Scott
Tue, Feb 06, 2007
External clutter is linked to your internal state of mind. Ownership of things is part of what the self is trying to accomplish. It feels bigger and more important when it has more.
Because of this, we tend to let things define us. This is one of the problems of finding true happiness. Things decay. Nothing [...]

The Problem With Self Protection
Author: Rob Scott
Thu, Jan 11, 2007
Our self is more than partially defined by the assumptions and beliefs we hold about the world. Our emotions arise as that self rubs up against it’s edges. Emotions often tell us when our boundaries, or self, have been compromised. There is no doubt that we need to work on our understanding [...]

We May Need To Kill Faith
Author: Rob Scott
Thu, Dec 21, 2006
How can we make faith make sense? So many of us are lost in rational minds. Rational minds that are right in the external sense of “right”, but they lack the inner connection to being. Faith is something that often sounds too “religious”. But faith may end up being important, but [...]

Realizing We Have Enough
Author: Rob Scott
Wed, Nov 22, 2006
It makes sense that people who don’t have much feel a sense of lack. It doesn’t make as much sense that people who have tons of stuff, lots of money and means, also feel lack. One point of this talk is that the sense of external lack is driven by an internal lack. [...]

Basic ideas:
Seeing that good and bad, or pleasure and pain are in all things.
We can use pain to promote change.
Ultimately, we can get off the treadmill of pain and pleasure.
Our desire to avoid pain and experience pleasure tends to push us around if we are not paying attention. When we use introspection to learn [...]

Can We Make It All Sacred

If we want to evolve it would be good to learn that everything is sacred. Using certain objects to wake up is useful, but we need to watch how attached to those objects, places, etc. we become.
