age.  Hearing tests will show quite different responses to frequency range.  I'm deaf in one ear and with damaged hearing in the other, as the result of surgery about 15 years ago.  I've seen my brain create sounds where none are there and modify sounds to match what my memory expects.  it's fascinating, thrilling and disorienting.  What does this mean in electronic music where so much of the output is intuited through exploring different sound modules?  I have no idea what you're hearing and really very little what I'm hearing.  More to come...working on a new piece with accompanying lecture due out this next week or so.  <br /><br />Buy my book On Mortality and the Human Imagination<br /><br />Subscribe to a newsletter for occasional updates on the podcast, videos and other

It's important to have a teacher in spiritual practice.  The experience, direction, instruction, guidance, support are essential.  But who - or what - is that teacher?   We're accustomed in America to seeing spiritual leadership corrupted by materialism, sex and greed.  What if the teacher here can be anybody....a monk, sure, but maybe also a martial artist, a piano teacher, a leader at work. Anyone - - in this particular point, I'm more interested in being able to create that moment of cognitive distance.<br /><br />So the question "What Would  do?" is a cue for each moment and not necessarily asking for a prescriptive list of required responses.  Rather, asking the question "What Would Socrates Do?" (for example) gives me that immediate second opinion about what is actually happening in the moment. Maybe I am reacting with anger, and taking the second to consider Socrates would allow me to realize that this anger is actually more like hurt pride...that perhaps some humility and gratitude in the moment would transform everything.   <br /><br />Buy my book On Mortality and the Human Imagination<br /><br />Subscribe to a newsletter for occasional updates on the podcast, videos and other writing. <a href="https://www.zenglop.net/zenglop/zenglop-the-newsletter.html" rel="noopener">https://www.zenglop.net/zenglop/zenglop-the-newsletter.html</a><br /><br />And/or subscribe to youtube <br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoOlX6NXyQBABYljo1vAuHA?sub_confirmation=1" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoOlX6NXyQBABYljo1vAuHA?sub_confirmation=1</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/42825673</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jan 2021 10:45:55 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/42825673/meditation_notes_the_importance_of_a_teacher.mp3" length="19264910" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Andrew Kaiser</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>What I've been thinking about lately is the formulation "What Would  do?".

which we filter out either mechanically or mentally.  But when I  made note of unexpected and beautiful noises that arose throughout a day, in short order I started to have a sonic journal of surprising delicacy and emotion.  Just using the recorder directly on my phone to capture anything that struck me as beautiful or unusual.  Then I mixed it together for a short ( 1 minute) piece....but maybe over the weekend I'll get in the studio and work more with these sounds ( or others).<br /><br />for more posts on field recording, link here: <a

I  made note of unexpected and beautiful noises that arose throughout a day, in short order I started to have a sonic journal of surprising delicacy and emotion.  Just using the recorder directly on my phone to capture anything that struck me as beautiful or unusual.  Then I mixed it together for a short ( 1 minute) piece....but maybe over the weekend I'll get in the studio and work more with these sounds ( or others).<br /><br />for more posts on field recording, link here: <a href="https://www.zenglop.net/zenglop/field-recordings/"

shift gears.  The last several months have been a focus on a certain set of prayers and chants...I'm feeling like a shift to more open-ended insight practice.  It occurred to me that my entire practicing life, I've started a meditation session with a timer set to some pre-defined amount.  Could be 2 minutes (short, good meditation is excellent);  20 minutes ( a nice strong stable practice) or 40 minutes ( probably the longest I've ever sat in a single sitting).  But what if I turned off the timer and set a stopwatch instead?    As part of the observation, observe only when my session ends....not whether it's lasted a set duration?  It's such a simple and obvious question that I'm eager to see where it leads. <br /><br />more episodes on  meditation notes here: <a

For Andrew Wood by James Fenton&#13;
&#13;
What would the dead want from us...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[We are blessed as humans to be surrounded by a poetic halo filled with objects of our choosing.  Today I was reading this beautiful memorial poem written by James Fenton.  <br /><br />For Andrew Wood by James Fenton<br /><br />What would the dead want from us<br />Watching from their cave?<br />Would they have us forever howling?<br />Would they have us rave<br />Or disfigure ourselves, or be strangled<br />Like some ancient emperor’s slave?<br /><br />None of my dead friends were emperors<br />With such exorbitant tastes<br />And none of them were so vengeful<br />As to have all their friends waste<br />Waste quiet away in sorrow<br />Disfigured and defaced.<br /><br />I think the dead would want us<br />To weep for what they have lost.<br />I think that our luck in continuing<br />Is what would affect them most.<br />But time would find them generous<br />And less self-engrossed.<br /><br />And time would find them generous<br />As they used to be<br />And what else would they want from us<br />But an honored place in our memory,<br />A favorite room, a hallowed chair,<br />Privilege and celebrity?<br />And so the dead might cease to grieve<br />And we might make amends<br />And there might be a pact between<br />Dead friends and living friends.<br />What our dead friends would want from us<br />Would be such living friends.<br /><br /><br /><br />Send me a note at <a href="mailto:zenglop@gmail.com">zenglop@gmail.com</a>.<br /><br />I'm making a push to build up my youtube channel.  Here's an easy link to subscribe.  <br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoOlX6NXyQBABYljo1vAuHA?sub_confirmation=1" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoOlX6NXyQBABYljo1vAuHA?sub_confirmation=1</a>]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>819</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>fenton,forandrewwood,poetry</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/7ad3e95285fa2f6190e5a332b84a11c8.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>106:  meditation notes - sitting as becoming familiar with sitting</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/user/5424905/medirtation-notes-sitting-as-becoming-fa</link><description><![CDATA[What is it that's there right now?  a physical sensation?  A thought?  A thought about a physical sensation?  Anxiety about a future reaction?  Becoming familiar with asking that question opens a field of awareness.<br /><br />Send me a note at <a href="mailto:zenglop@gmail.com">zenglop@gmail.com</a>.<br />more notes on meditation here: <a href="https://www.zenglop.net/zenglop/meditation/" rel="noopener">https://www.zenglop.net/zenglop/meditation/</a><br /><br />I'm making a push to build up my youtube channel.  Here's an easy link to subscribe.  <br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoOlX6NXyQBABYljo1vAuHA?sub_confirmation=1" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoOlX6NXyQBABYljo1vAuHA?sub_confirmation=1</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/40301460</guid><pubDate>Thu, 13 Aug 2020 09:52:26 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/40301460/medirtation_notes_sitting_as_becoming_familiar_with_sitting_8_13_20_5_47_am.mp3" length="27040204" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Andrew Kaiser</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>What is it that's there right now?  a physical sensation?  A thought?  A thought about a physical sensation?  Anxiety about a future reaction?  Becoming familiar with asking that question opens a field of awareness.&#13;
