Talk titled: "Sensing with Soul (Part 1)", given during the event "The Mirrored Gates". Held on 2017-12-21.
Topics covered: images: intrapsychic and extrapsychic images, cosmopoesis: kinds of imaginal and non-imaginal cosmopoesis, cosmopoesis: how it develops and spreads, eros for unfabricating and for soulful fabrication, soulmaking in oneness, etc., when it's a new perception, findlay, j. n., mindfulness, unfabricating, skillful fabrication, critique: the practice of 'being with' or 'bare attention'
Teacher's note on suitability: please note: 'the mirrored gates' is a set of talks (recorded by rob from his home) attempting to clarify, elaborate on, and open up further the concepts, practices, and possibilities explained in previous talks on imaginal practice. some working familiarity with those previous teachings will provide a helpful foundation for this new set; but a good understanding of and experiential facility with practices of emptiness, samatha, the emotional/energy body, metta, and mindfulness is necessary and presumed, without which these new teachings may be confusing and difficult to comprehend.
