Talk titled: "A Mystical Kiss (...for Mystics, Anti-Mystics, Lovers, and Realists...)", given during the event "The Boundless Heart". Held at Gaia House, Devon on 2011-08-04.
Topics covered: mystical experiences: what are they?, via negativa and via positiva, sanctification: what's involved in sanctifying life?, reverence: what blocks and unblocks reverence?, emptiness/insight: nothing independent of the way of looking, fantasy as a holy mystery of being, emptiness/insight: fading, unfabricating, wonder
Teacher's note on suitability: a talk on mysticism and the nature of perception. (this talk follows on from the one given two nights before it, entitled 'at home in the universe'.)
