Not Transcending Our Humanness
from Zen Mind · host Zenki Christian Dillo
This talk is about the difference between healthy and unhealthy transcendence. Meditation practice and the concept of detachment can create the fantasy that we might be able to transcend our humanness by excluding our emotionality and vulnerability from our beingness. Healthy transcendence in contrast allows us to be dis-identified from our experience while staying connected with it. The talk elucidates this difference through the experiential distinction between the field of mind and the contents of mind.
