“Food preparation is a sacred activity. If you could see the sparks of light going forth from the fingertips when cooking, and the energy that goes into the food you handle, you would realize how much of you imbues into the meals that you prepare for family and friends.”

Musings of an oat plant
Allow me to introduce myself. My full name is Avena sativa. But you probably know me by my common names: the oat plant or oatmeal.


THE COMMON OAT – AVENA SATIVA – HAS BEEN NAMED MEDICINAL PLANT OF THE YEAR 2017
“The oat – Avena sativa – also known as the white or common oat provides several very different medicinal substances with a broad range of possible uses.
These range from treatment of the skin to gastrointestinal diseases and, for instance, to prevention of arteriosclerosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
For this reason and because the fields of dermatology and nutrition have not yet been covered by the medicinal plant of the year,
the common oat was named as medicinal plant of the year 2017”

2018 Nature of Mind: Advanced Practice Retreat (Crestone, CO)

The really great thing about tsoknyirinpoche.org — the tremendous thing about Tsoknyi Rinpoche is that he has been sharing the worldview of a great Bodhisattva continually for many years now, and all his teachings are available online. The rub is that this worldview is so sane – grounded body – open heart – open mind, that even when you hear it, you don't because you have to be ready to hear it.
Tsoknyi Rinpoche's teachings like all the teachings of great masters are "self-secret."

Forgive me for listening to his teachings again and again because each time I find myself tuning into something that I never heard before...

Deepen Your Self-Healing Body Wisdom with AYURVEDA

Sounds True's THE WISDOM OF THE BODY SUMMIT, with 32 ninety minute presentations over 10 days was certainly a lot and way too much for most people. While baking I might have been able to attend to 70%, and all was so compelling I did tend to go back every day. A few things stood out.

First the topic represents a distinct shift from head to heart or rather body altogether that we find recommended by some of the wisest among us. I'm reminded of Philip Sheppard's Radical Wholeness. Why are we living in our heads constantly talking to ourselves when we can drop into our bodies and just be?

Jonathan Foust a summit presenter mentioned the work of Eugene Gendlin, who he referred to as the father of somatic psychology and wisdom body awareness movement. I instantly recalled the afternoon "focusing" workshop I took part in with Gendlin at Naropa in 1977. It changed my life by granting a handy "fuzzy feeling" touchstone. A year later Gendlin's classic FOCUSING was published.

Interesting, Chogyam Trungpa's THE FOUNDATIONS OF MINDFULNESS (GARUDA IV) was published in 1976 based on talks giving earlier in that decade. In "Mindfulness of Body", Trungpa Rinpoche immediately questions our experience of body: "To begin with, there is some problem about what we understand by body. We have a 'body.' We sit on chairs or on the ground; we eat; we sleep; we wear clothes. But the body that we relate with in going through these activities is questionable. Is it the unconditional body, free from conceptualizations; or is it a body constituted by conceptualizations?"

Now here we are some 40 years later really paying attention to the unconditional non-conceptual wisdom of our magic and miraculous embodiments!

I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to meet Cate Stillman (see above), and Bruce Lipton's presentation caught my attention, so I will no doubt be spending more time with his YouTubes in the future. All in all, thank you so much Sounds True!

Carl Jung
Face To Face (1959) HQ
Professor Jung interviewed at his home in Switzerland by John Freeman.

On Human Nature
“One thing is sure. A great change of our psychological attitude is imminent. That is certain. Why?
Because we need more psychology. We need more understanding of human nature because the only real danger that exists is man himself.
He is the great danger and we are pitifully unaware of it...
We are the origin of all coming evil.” – Carl Jung


On Death
“Yes it can end, and there we are not quite certain about this end.
Because you know there are peculiar faculties of the psyche that it is not entirely confined to space and time.
You can have dreams or visions of the future. You can see around corners.
Only ignorants deny these facts here. It's quite evident that these facts exist and have existed always.
Now these facts show that the psyche, in part at least, is not dependent on these confinements. And then what?” – Carl Jung
