Contemplation

inaudible

Nithin and Jeremy welcome "Linus," an anonymous Other Selves Working Group member, to the show to help them discuss Ra's concept of contemplation. Distinguishing it from meditation and prayer, they examine these three forms of inner work, observing how contemplation addresses the attention to one's conscious mind in a way congruent to meditation's attention to the deep mind. Reflecting on their own experiences with contemplation, the trio discuss how contemplation relates to other aspects of the seeker's life, especially its relationship with inward inquiry, catalysis, and growth.
