Paul said to the church back then and to us today; "We pray that you would walk in the ways of true righteousness, pleasing God in every good thing you do. Then you’ll become fruit-bearing branches, yielding to his life, and maturing in the rich experience of knowing God in his fullness! - Colossians 1:6-10Maturing as a verb means to become fully developed or ripe. A fruit or vegetable becomes ripe through what it receives from the vine! Jesus said that He is the vine and we are the branches. You will not walk in the rich experience of knowing God in His fullness UNLESS YOU ARE CONNECTED TO THE VINE AND ALLOWING HIM TO GROW YOU AND NOT YOU TRY AND GROW YOURSELF! The type of transformative work that God wants to do is a work that only happens when He becomes the filter that your life pours through!

Over time I gravitated to the original teachings of the Buddha, embodied in the Theravadan tradition, for their down-to-earth clarity, and important sources for me have included the teachers of Spirit Rock Meditation Center and the Pali Canon itself. More recently, I've explored grounding the dharma in modern evolutionary neuropsychology - "neurodharma" - recognizing how mind arises dependently upon the body, especially the nervous system as it tries to meet ancient needs for raw survival. I am especially interested in using these approaches to heighten the learning - the cultivation (bhavana) - from beneficial experiences (otherwise often wasted on the brain) to reduce the underlying sense of deficit and disturbance that causes the craving that causes suffering and harm. Overall, I feel amazingly blessed to have the opportu True North Podcast with Chris Quiring Chris Quiring Finding truth in a culture of confusion.
