In this episode we look at instincts, what it means to live a good human life by today's standards and how instincts change once we're on the Dharmic path. 

When we hit the Dharmic path, we start to see how we're ruled by these primal instincts, primal tendencies. And we stop getting bamboozled by them, enchanted by them, dragged about by them, tossed about by them. 

Because when we're at ease…

Say you're on a beach, sipping a mojito, perfect temperature, whatever that is for you. 27.5 degrees, slight breeze, had breakfast…

Feel it right… Feels nice.

Even in this construct, of ease, it's going to take a little bit for you to be a jerk. Right? For you to freak out. For you to have a natural tendency with - somebody spills you your drink - for you to fly off the handle, right?

These moments they give you a little bit of a glimpse of the possibility of the fundamental ease that's within you.

The clarity of mind, the openness of heart, the responsiveness, that's who you naturally are.

But you've never been given the testing ground to allow that to come through.
