I'd like to ask him about his 'dance at the source' diagram, and whether he is familiar with Longchenpa's writing about time. (Three times — past, present, future — and the 'fourth time' of Samantabhadra, the essence, nature, compassion of awareness ['the source'?])pic.twitter.com/jdjXrUhR5i
Whenever I look at that diagram and read 'activity at the source', my mind immediately associates it with the Dzogchen idea of lhündrup. That association may not be helpful – mixing metaphors – but it's fun to see how different traditions try to model experience quasi-poetically.
Lots of meditators make the mistake of trying to take this stuff as describing the world...but that would be a mistake, as Shinzen points out re: not making claims as a physicist or philosopher might. We would do well to be able to relate to meditation maps as we might to poetry
Anyway, some of you might enjoy that live stream and upcoming guests, such as @OortCloudAtlas, @danielmingram, etc.
Was just about to send a tweet to you saying ‘any idea what word ‘source’ is being used to substitute/translate?’ Then I realized you were maybe wondering the same thing.
I have been wondering that, yes. I have a vague recollection of a discussion between Shinzen and Har Prakash Khalsa — a lovely Canadian chap & serious meditator — where Shinzen referred to Source as 'd'vekut' in the context of Jewish mysticism.
