Quotes from ZITL Podcast Ep. 21

A few have asked that we post up the quotes from our Thanksgiving special podcast Ep. 21 “Thanksgiving with no agenda” special episode for the holidays. Here ya go!

  • “Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead, let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?” – Rumi
  • “If you don’t get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don’t want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can’t hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.” – Socrates (469-399 BCE 5th Century)
  • On Balance – “In Fact emotional states are not something that happen to us, rather we create them based on how we view the world” Karen Hastings, Phd.
  • Cultivating the witness – or the observer….Truly see there is a difference from OBSERVER (witness) from that which is being OBSERVED (ego-mind, incarnation)
  • “Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good an evil.” – Nietzche (Right or Wrong)

Ep.15 “lets get small, average, and great”

Katrina Chester is joined by fellow spiritualist and dear friend, Cara Albero, for this episode diving into a well-known quote for discovery. A practice of seeing, through investigation, how pliable and fluid a belief, opinion, and interpretation, really are when clinging is softened. When we experience thoughts that seem to be so solid; becoming fluid (like changing our mind), that creates safe space. Not to throwing out roles in life,  unless that indeed happens – but to develop a new relationship to our roles, and how we may be holding others in theirs. Creating relationship (conscious awareness; taking requires a giving back) is one gift a spiritual practice (yoga, martial arts, doing the dishes!) gives back to us. Thank you for your patience with episode 15 too! Lots of shifts, lots of time for practice and change. We are right there with those of you listening that are knee deep in yours as well. with love to those we get to share with, thank you for the continued practice.

Ep.14 – That “Don’t-know mind” Part 1- Love

The unproven, unexplainable, and indescribable series. Part 1 – LOVE

What is the don’t-know mind, also known as the beginners mind? Why would I want to NOT know something? An important element in growing emotionally and spiritually is curiosity-like when we were children!  That drive diminishes when we think we know-it-all. And, even if you did – know-it-all – ancient spiritual traditions share that the drive to tell everybody diminishes as well – unless asked. Rena Joy and Cara Evans join Katrina for to discuss… the cultural norm valuing knowledge, titles, degree’s, scientific studies, and as a participant, Katrina shares her personal importance in practising balance so knowledge doesn’t substitute our own personal experience. Culturally in this age, we want to PROVE everything, yet many things in the human experience are unexplainable. In many way’s love is indescribable, maybe even unproven. Rena and Cara share some other cultural views on love,  as well as an astrological (another unproven technique) tool everyone can use! Thank you for subscribing to Zooming in the Lens Podcast! This is a juicy one!
