The Boundless Field and What We Pretend to Forget
El Campo Ilimitado y Lo Que Fingimos Olvidar
This session guides participants through a meditation exploring raw perception, the dissolution of boundaries between inside and outside, and the illusory nature of the map-making mind. In the dialogues that follow, the teacher addresses contentless fear as resistance to dissolution, the deactivation of habitual mental mapping, and the recognition that loving compassion is always present—obscured only by beliefs and the impulse to disown our true nature.

The Lovingness That Is Already Inside You

dialogue
The Forgetting Trap
A student describes how loving compassion is clearly always present when recognized in meditation, but seems to disappear in ordinary life. The teacher explores how "forgetting" can become a self-reinforcing belief, and how the impulse to disown our true nature is itself a free choice.
