Four Kinds of Intelligence for Optimal Mental Health and Balance

D2S1 - Unawareness and Delusion, the Real and the Imaginary

Lama Alan · 83 minutes

Cognitive intelligence is telling what reality is presenting from what we project upon it. Lama Alan begins with unawareness and delusion, the twofold root of suffering, then a reflection a camera focuses two metres behind the mirror, a Big Dipper only mental consciousness can see, and a face on Mars. He closes on three points: taking the impermanent for permanent, what is not a true source of happiness for one, and what is not I or mine for I and mine. Teaching only, no practice in this part.
