The Robert Beatty Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In this meditation, Robert takes the meditator on a guided tour of the various mental phenomena that populate the inner world in meditation; and he gently guides the meditator through an appreciation of the reality of those phenomena, and how to be with them in ways that will reduce suffering, increase understanding, and form the building blocks of lasting happiness. This meditation was offered on September 10, 2024.

In this meditation, inspired from a poem by the Indian Hindu sage, Ramana Maharshi, Robert skillfully guides the meditator through the steps of understanding the basic principles of anicca, dukkha and anatta, not as a matter of thought or intellect, but experience. We intuitively come to understand that we need do nothing more than accept what is here now.  He closes the meditation with the Buddhist parable:  The Two Brothers Wake Up.  This guided meditation was from September 16, 2024, with the Portland, Oregon Insight Meditation Community.

From June 18, 2024: This is a meditation emphasizing love. In love there is room for everything. Every breath sings the same song; every experience sings the same song. Everything is in constant change.

From June 17, 2024: Concentration and mindfulness are known as the "The Wings of Awakening." In concentration one emphasizes returning to the breath, and pays little attention to "the wandering mind," or other "distractions." Concentration does not require a gritting of the teeth, or tensing of muscles. Instead, awareness lands on the training object with the delicacy of a butterfly landing on a flower.

Robert reads the poem "Oh Death," by Gina Puorro. He then guides a deep meditation on awareness and the experience of the wandering mind.

In this present moment it is possible to use the power of love and mindfulness to go back in time to your birth, and every moment of your life, to bring love compassion and kindness to yourself. You are not limited to the thoughts, feeling, memories and beliefs of this moment. You can help to re-write your history and create the happy present you are really longing for.
