An explanation of nondual foreground-background is followed by our meditation. Thank you, Kathy, for telling me I was muted for the first few seconds.

Stick with it! The foreground of all that is being experienced is happening on a background, like a painting is on a canvas, like fish swim in a sea or river. Both are present all the time simultaneously. Notice and discover the non-two, the nondual nature of your every moment.

We repeat the same technique used for the first time on Tuesday. It takes time to ease into a new meditation technique. Please be patient with yourself. The observer can, all too quickly, become an authoritarian! Rather, soft and open to the freshness of this over experience and the technique.
“Mind; no mind; mind is luminous.”

I forgot to undo “full screen” showing the image of Buddha while recapping and setting the stage for this new cycle of meditations on “no mind.” My apologies. (talk about no mind!) The group that was live online could see me, but the webcast only shows the Buddha full screen.
Having said that, the first several minutes of this podcast importantly restate essential points about meditation and set the intention and method that we will initially use for our exploration/vipashyana of “no mind.” Enjoy and may your explorations be illumining!
To all my friends,
