S3 E1: Let's Explore Emergence in this Series

In this podcast episode, Shamash and Calvin introduce a new season of Mindful Conversations, recorded during a walk around Bedfont Lakes. The series will focus on the theme of "emergence," exploring how to mindfully navigate the constant changes in the world. They reflect on how the word “emergence” is linked to “emergency,” and discuss the idea of managing personal stories and belief systems.

Calvin introduces three levels of how people relate to their stories. Unconscious beliefs: Living life based on inherited or unexamined beliefs. Conscious questioning: Starting to challenge and construct new, more constructive stories. Story-less acceptance: Letting go of the need for stories altogether, achieving a state of full acceptance and freedom.

They emphasize the dynamic nature of moving between these levels and discuss the value of mindfulness in accessing moments of surrender and presence. The episode concludes with plans for future discussions and introducing a guest, Brother Freedom, in their next episode.
