Getting Unstuck

[Turgon]

Came across these series of audio excerpts from a lecture by Pema Chodron, who is a Buddhist nun and a disciple of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche until his death. The series cover's a discussion on the Ego, the part that dilutes our perspective of the present, addictions through a constant scratching of the 'itch' that we run away from, how insecurities prevent us from experiencing awareness, etc.

It's an interesting take on the Work, from a slightly different perspective, with a focus on meditation, but still contains a lot of similarities to what we experience with the Predator's mind, programs, etc.

Part 1: Stop Scratching

Part 2: Ego - The Root of the Problem

Part 3: The Door to Liberation

Part 4: Recognizing Patterns of Habituation

Part 5: How We Get Hooked

Part 6: Fundamental Uneasiness

Part 7: Degrees of Shenpa

Part 8: Seeing Clearly

Part 9: Melting into Emptiness

Thanks Turgon to let us know about this very good and interesting speaker.

Here is a quote from what she says:

Look to accept the present moment as if you had invited it and work with it instead of against it, making it your ally rather than your enemy
