Today\u2019s episode expands upon Reggie\u2019s remarks from last week on the meaning of lineage. Here he suggests that a living lineage is not a fixed entity \u2013 it constantly gives birth to new life and unexpected situations. With examples from his own journey, Reggie shows how the lineage \u201ccan only be as deep and as vast as we are as people.\u201d He explains, \u201cThe lineage is not a set of teachings, it’s not a person. The lineage is an open-ended unfolding \u2013 a deepening and expanding that we\u2019re all invited into.\u201d To practice in such a lineage we must learn to let go of our expectations through dedicated practice and ongoing mentoring. In this way, he says, the lineage is very intimate and human.<\/p>\n
