MONDAY NIGHT, NOVEMBER 26
12 - 1 Pema Chodron, "Noble Heart"
'A Self-Guided Retreat in Befriending Your Obstacles'
You can't get away from suffering. That's the good news, teaches Pema Chödrön. For at the core of your most painful experiences, perhaps more than anywhere else, you will find the seeds of your awakening.
On 'Noble Heart,' this beloved American-born Buddhist nun shows you how vulnerability is your greatest spiritual resource on the path through life's difficulties. The noble heart, Ane Pema teaches, is one that sheds its armor, opening itself fearlessly to both heartache and delight. Using special meditations and traditional teachings, Pema Chödrön leads you, step-by-step, toward a full realization of your true strength, the strength that can come only through embracing the pain of your own experience.
'Noble Heart' was recorded as it happened, within the peaceful shrine room of Gampo Abbey, Ane Pema's home on the cliffs of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Structured so that you can create your own retreat at home or at your meditation center, this complete curriculum brings you key teachings about how to recognize and cultivate the soft spot that is the gateway to your own noble heart.
Here is the promise of the Four Limitless Ones-maitri (loving-kindness), compassion, joy, and equanimity-and down-to-earth advice about how to draw strength from them every day, in any situation. Here, too, are the treasured teachings about the Six Paramitas: the Buddha's own map of the journey to enlightenment. Learn how to connect with your innately unlimited friendliness, and how it can grow big enough to contain the entire world.
With four complete meditations, unique heart teachings, and Ane Pema's trademark humor, 'Noble Heart' invites you to discover for yourself the compassion and wisdom that have established her as a leading voice in American Buddhism. Includes more than nine hours of direct teachings from this revered acharya (master teacher).
Highlights:
The four great catalysts of awakening, and how to begin integrating them into your life today
The basic goodness that nothing can take away from you
Authentic Tibetan Buddhist chants for generating gratitude and compassion
Where to find and how to build your inner strength and trust
The maitri meditation that multiplies love
How the Three Noble Principles can enrich everything you do
Why you need your soft spot to awaken spiritually
When "don't know" mind is wiser than all the teachings in the world
The Three Lords of Materialism-and how to diffuse their power
The antidote to aggression
A melting practice you can use to undo isolation and anxietyPart 1 of 12: The Ground of Bodhichitta Practice
The continual practice of bodhichitta. Aspiring practices. The three marks of existence. What ego really is. The three noble principles. Homework assignment.

1-2:30 Robert Thurman, "Making the World We Want' Part 1 of 6
'A Passionate Examination of Buddhism's Potential to Revolutionize the Course of Humanity'
Columbia University professor Robert Thurman stands alone among scholars of Tibetan Buddhism in the West. He was the first Westerner to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist monk, and he is the renowned translator of many seminal Buddhist texts, including 'The Tibetan Book of the Dead.'
On 'Making the World We Want,' you will hear a very different Thurman as he speaks candidly on what he considers the most urgent issue of our time: how Buddhism is now poised to revolutionize the entire course of humanity.
In this passionate, incisive, and often hilarious joyride of the mind and spirit, Thurman explores: mindful communities as "enlightenment factories" and how they have sparked "inner" revolutions throughout history; the Buddha's philosophy of life, liberty, and the pursuit of real happiness; how compassion and nonduality spur social action; the vision of sacred texts for the future of humanity; and much more.
"The Buddha founded a quiet revolution," asserts Thurman, "a total reorientation of the habits of individuals and entire societies." On 'Making the World We Want,' you will learn how each of us can participate in this monumental revolution today.

2:30-3:30 Van Jones: "Breaking Out of Our Resistance Bubble"
Tuesday, November 20, 2018
Van Jones is a New York Times bestselling author, public speaker, and host of The Van Jones Show on CNN. This special edition of Insights at the Edge re-broadcasts Van's powerful session from Sounds True's Waking Up in the World online event. In this in-depth interview, Tami Simon speaks with Van about the necessary meeting between spiritual practice and social activism. They discuss the currently fraught political climate and why it's essential for everyone to break out of their respective bubbles to engage with people with diverse views. At the same time, Van emphasizes the need to combat rising hate and why we all need to stay true to what we value most in life. Finally, Tami and Van talk about the possibility of broad societal change and how spiritual people can catalyze that movement.

12-1 Health Update
"GMOs: The Lie That Won't Go Away"
by Richard Gale and Gary Null (October 25, 2018)
Article posted at Progressive Radio Network Website: http://prn.fm/gmos-lie-wont-go-away/
1-2:30 Clarissa Pinkola Estes, "Women Who Run With the Wolves" Part 2 (concluding)
''Myths and Stories About the Wild Woman Archetype'
First published three years before the print edition of 'Women Who Run With the Wolves' made publishing history, this original audio edition quickly became an underground bestseller. For its insights into the inner life of women, it established Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés as one of the most important voices of our time in the fields of Jungian psychology, myth, and women's mysteries.
Drawing from her work as a psychoanalyst and cantadora ("keeper of the old stories"), Dr. Estés uses myths and folktales to illustrate how societies systematically strip away the feminine spirit. Through an exploration into the nature of the wild woman archetype, Dr. Estés helps listeners rediscover and free their own wild nature.
The magical storytelling, myths, and commentary on 'Women Who Run With the Wolves 'continue to inspire a new level of self-knowledge among listeners young and old.

2:30-3:30 Mary O'Malley::"What's in the Way Is the Way"
Mary O'Malley is an author, counselor, and acknowledged leader in the field of spiritual awakening. With Sounds True, Mary has published 'What's in the Way Is the Way: A Practical Guide for Waking Up to Life.' In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon and Mary discuss the eight "spells" that keep us feeling separate from life-as well as the remedies that bring us more fully into the energetic flow of existence. They speak on the need for curiosity and the role it plays in uniting our attention with our present-moment experience. Finally, Mary explains her understanding of the awakening process and the skills one can cultivate to come into a robust and joyous alignment with life itself. (60 minutes)
Tami's Takeaway
One of the worst feelings for me is helplessness. Mary teaches that "life is destined to bring up what is bound up." This podcast brought up for me how I push away feelings of helplessness. According to Mary, "what's in the way is the way," and we can become what she calls "tightness detectives" to see how we clamp down in certain situations and resist what we don't want to feel. When instead we meet our feelings with curiosity and spaciousness, we discover the free flow of aliveness and the absolute trustworthiness in every experience.

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #1028 - Miscellaneous Articles and Updates"
Introduction: Updating previous paths of inquiry, as well as introducing new ones, the program begins with a bit of both-discussion of the murder of Saudi journalist and possible Saudi and U.S. intelligence officer Jamal Khashoggi. A development which resonates strongly with previous discussion of the so-called "Arab Spring" (read "Muslim Brotherhood Spring"), the corporatist economics of Ibn Khaldun and the Brotherhood, and Grover Norquist and Karl Rove's Islamic Free Market Institute (which figures prominently in the post-9/11 Operation Green Quest investigation into al-Qaeda and terrorist financing), Khashoggi's death has occasioned howls of outrage, much beating of breasts and tearing of hair in normally Saudi-friendly confines both inside, and outside of the U.S. ...

2:30-3:30 Dan Sheehan at "ET Let's Talk" (October 18)
I found this late (Friday night November 23) and it is the first Dan Sheehan posting in several months. It contains some pre-November election information on the battle against the Dakota access pipeline and the effort to secure the Lakota Indians' right to vote in which battles Sheehan has been the legal point man. But he is now free from his successful attempt to represent Chase Iron Eyes who was facing prison for "leading" the water protectors in the Dakota Access Pipeline conflict. Sheehan, who has participated in all or nearly all of the major legal cases of the past few decades is now concentrating and bringing generally unknown information and activities on the major issues of our time which he identifies as global climate change, corporate fascism, and the control of extra terrestrial intelligence information by the national security infrastructure which sees it as a national security threat and thus preventing a 'careful, intelligent and sage analysis.'
