Basia's Thoughts

Basia•basia.buzzsprout.com

Looking for Aha-moments? Surprisingly useful connections? Interested in learning more about You, how your personality was formed, who you truly are? I know I am. And so, as an INFJ type I enjoy finding underlying patterns and share them in this forum. I also talk about Non-Duality (Advaita Vedanta). Take this journey with me and with your questions and comments we will tread forth together, attempting to make sense of it all. :)

EP10 Being Comes from Wholeness

This is a somewhat more ontological type of episode. We go into why and how being comes from the infinite (Limitless, Wholeness, Consciousness, etc). Basically we talk about the ontology of things being washed out if we take a materialistic view, and the only way of gaining an ontology is to assume the limitless. ( Maya has no real existence on its own. Brahman lend it Being.) The limitless is unique. That uniqueness results in a holographic type of order. The holographic type of order is the ba...

EP9 What is Your Greatest Contribution to the World?

What is your greatest contribution to the world? How can you reach your highest potential, so that you can offer the very best of you? Oddly enough, this episode was inspired by a flying squirrel, on its way to realising its highest potential as a squirrel. In the two previous episodes we already talked about how opening ones heart, increasing ones sensitivity and ability to love is a path of freedom and is essential if we wish to find out what our highest potential is. This is a path of love. I...

EP8 Increasing Sensitivity and Opening the Heart

In this episode we talk more about increasing our sensitivity and the path of opening our heart. This is where we left off in the last podcast, talking about how without increasing our sensitivity we have no hope for growth and will never reach our highest potential. We discuss what the ladder of sensitivity may look like when we interact with someone who is suffering and what the most challenging part of the ladder is. We also talk a little how all of this fits into the changes going on in our ...

EP7 What is Sanity and How does Oppression Hurt the Oppressor?

What is sanity? Who is the crazy one? Do you sometimes feel like you are living in a crazy world? What makes you feel like you are sane? In this episode we look at the core of sanity. What is the essence of sanity? I talk about a few persons who I have, in some respects, found to bring some sanity into my life, like Andreas Antonopoulos, Edward Snowden, and Erik Voorhees. I propose that sanity is related to freedom and particularly the freedom of being and expressing one's true essence. That bri...

EP6 Sadness in the Schizoid

This podcast episode is about a general and lingering type of sadness. It is a type of sadness that does not seem to have any specific cause. If you have it, chances are might be able to relate. This is often related to the Schizoid character structure in Alexander Lowen's Bioenergetics. And in this episode I will give you a real life example of how it can manifest itself and why it is there in a schizoid, me. If you are interested in learning more about a pure schizoid and the four other fundam...

EP5 Moving Towards Reality We Move Away from Suffering

In this episode we continue talking about what is real. But now we also take into consideration something that is of great importance to us, namely suffering. Through intuitive thinking we joyfully tie together: Computer simulations of evolutionary perception (see Donald Hoffman ), The biology of perception, The Amygdala as the Judge of Good and Bad, The origin of suffering, How judgements move us away from reality, How judgements inflict violence on language (enter Marshall Rosenberg and nonvio...

EP4 Quantum Experiments Indicating a Lack of Objective World

This episode will exclusively focus on the two quantum experiments I mentioned in the previous episode, but did not explain in detail. These are experiments that suggest that perhaps there might not be an objective, observer-independent reality out there. The first is Wheeler's Delayed Choice experiment, and the second Wigner's Friend Experiment. You can find a link to last year's paper on Wigner's Friend Paradox here , it is entitled "Experimental rejection of observer-independence in the quant...

EP3 What is Real?

Science and Personal Experience and Spirituality In this episode we start off talking about what most people automatically tend to see as real. We talk about what has traditionally been related to the ideas of being scientific and how this has impacted our society and our values. Then we slip into the world of Science and look at what physics actually seems to be telling us about what is more fundamental. Here I mention two experiments and I thought I would give you the links to them so that you...

EP2 What is Awareness?

We start in the deepest of waters. :) In this episode we dive into who we are and what Awareness is, all as seen through my interpretations of Non-duality (Advaita Vedanta), mixed with my experiences and other insights. So, know that I am not a non-duality expert, but I can recommend a truly inspirational teacher. That is Swami Sarvapriyananda. Look for talks of his on Youtube. You will find many at the Vedanta Society in New York Youtube channel . In this episode I received a question that has ...

EP1 Introduction - Intuitive thinking

Welcome to my first ever Podcast. In this episode you will get to meet me, Basia, and learn a little about my personality and interests. My personality type, INFJ, will take us into a short discussion on intuitive thinking and I will give you some examples of how I tend to think, so that you may know what to expect. Outwards it may appear as though intuitive thought has abrupt jumps but seeing the underlying pattern one soon discovers the similarities. This is where logical thought becomes helpf...
