Description

An ancient Tantric Text reads:


"the mind is that which creates both imprisonment and liberation, confusion and awakening, so it is essential to know this king which generates all our experience"


I explore this quote using the unnamed narrator in Rachel Kushner's "The Flamethrowers"


Other questions I explore: How can I develop a new kind of living relationship with what I experience, or How can I understand my life more fully and authentically? How can I learn to open and surrender to life, to God? What does it mean to wake up? What does it mean to see things with openawareness? How can we give ourselves permission to see things as they really are?
