Episode 82: Renunciation

August 7, 2014

In this episode, Reggie looks at how the practice of sitting meditation is an expression of renunciation. He says that it helps us see all the ways we avoid reality. At first, the process of relinquishing our attachment to distractions leads to a sense of barren non-existence. But this nothingness is the gateway to the totality.

This talk was given at the 2013 Winter Dathun retreat held in Crestone, CO.
