Best of Awake in the World: A More Liquified Existence

In this Best of Awake in the World podcast episode Michael explores the “post-negation” section of the Heart Sutra, focusing on the lines, “with no hindrance in the mind. No hindrance, therefore no fear.” He describes hindrances as mental barriers, the walls constructed by the mind, and introduces the idea of creating a “no landing zone,” a space where thoughts are not allowed to settle or take hold. He also discusses “horizontal transcendence,” the tendency of thoughts to become tangled or “knotty,” and the importance of making peace with the fears that can arise when one moves toward a more fluid, less fixed way of being. Recorded April 21, 2009.
