I just watched a panel discussion that happened after the screening of a new movie about the life of the great spiritually inclined physicist, David Bohm. The Dalai Lama considered Dr. Bohm to be his science teacher.
Here is the link:
I think the free viewing of the film itself is over now, but the panel discussion is free. There were MULTIPLE very insightful comments made. I THINK I watched this discussion when it happened originally on Sept. 20, 2020. But seeing it again without the distractions of the audience chat made a stronger impression on me.
If you don’t want to watch the whole thing, I urge you to listen to Marianne Williamson’s clarion call to consider compassion as the goal and purpose of meditation. This is at 37:54 to 40:23. A few minutes VERY well spent. She makes the point that neutrality in the face of fascism is not a good choice. Audrie Kitagawa, Chair of the Board of the Parliament of the World’s Religions, an organization dedicated to world peace and understanding, clearly described our impact on the world at 45:00 – 47:35. She explains the value of selfless service, and how it benefits the individual who practices it.
Finally, Marianne Williamson closed her final remarks with a call for action at 1:05:18.
“We must move now, from over identification with form.”
Fear is what tries to trap us in our individual bodies, watching out for our individual bodies, rather than watching out for the best for all!
This slightly over one hour dialogue is well worth your time if you have any interest in the interaction of science and spirit. This is the intersection of knowledge that we need to move past the current difficulties that humanity is experiencing.
Meditate, Meditate, Meditate
