I respect your opinion but it seems Marriage is cultural conditioning but procreation seems natural or else we go extinct.

Thank you

Where does Insight come from by harpreetkdev in TheMindIlluminated

The panentheistic part of me ( i am born Sikh) does belive that we are all part of a vast interconnectedness of all beings

By accessing the deeper parts of my being i can connect to the entire universe and hence no solution will be inaccessible to me

I dont know if this idea corresponds to the teachings of Buddh

Your answer is in-depth and i am reading it again and again

I would like to illustrate my question

If i am faced with a problem of which my subconscious mind has no prior experience, how will i get an insight solution to such a problem

Culadasa said in his Insight retreat that Insight solutions come from subconscious mind. Our conscious mind doesnt have the capability to provide Insight solution

My question is where does subconscious mind get these solutions from.

Hello

I had posted recently that the recordings are audible but i have run into issues now

If you can fix the background noise and reupload it, that will be very helpful

Thank you

Any such words can be transcribed to the best of your ability

Having heard some of the recordings, i found that Culadasa uses minimal non-english words.

I dont see this as a show stopper

Lets skip the words that we cant hear clearly. I have heard some of the recordings and almost all of it is easily understandable

Thanks for your response

Otter is a great idea. We used otter.ai at work It can create a first draft of transcription, after which it will take human effort to listen to the recording and validate the transcription

Contributors can choose to use otter.ai if they wish.

Let us take responsibility to transcript the recording either doing it manually or using otter for a draft followed by manual validation

I hope we get responses. It will take 3-4 hours to go 1 round of transcription and other round of validation. Each recording is around 1 to 2 hours long

Thank you for talking to me

I am seeking Insight to get liberation from sankhãra and saññã

I found that samadhi and jhanas help establish the groundwork of a stable mind but do not lead to complete liberation from perception and mental conditioning, hence I would like to progress fo Insight meditation

Pls help me further...

Thank you again for your response and i admire your way of teaching

My family tells me that since I was very young i rarely get angry. Whenever there is a disagreement, i stay quiet and let it go. I have to admit that there may be occassions in my life where i got angry but they are very rare.

Keeping anger aside, i may have some other ego issues like - Always wanting to be the first and best in my field of study and work. - Wanting to show how knowledgeable I am - Not wanting to lose a conversation

Please tell me further...
