The Fractal Mind by Source Potential
The Fractal Mind by Source Potential is a discussion of the nature of consciousness and reality, where ancient wisdom and modern science seem to point at the same thing.
Hosted by R.J. Hills, founder of Source Potential and creator of the Awakening: Binaural Meditation app, each episode examines the territory where Vedanta, Taoism, Buddhism, and quantum mechanics converge.
Also join us every Sunday night for the Zen Bedtime Stories series. Narrated by R.J. Hills, these are ancient koans retold, each ending with a question to sit with.
Not teaching. Not preaching. Just pointing.

Zen #4 - The Muddy Road
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A young monk walks beside his elder through the hills of old Japan. They come to a stream where a woman stands at the water's edge, unable to cross. The elder monk lifts her without a word, carries her to the other side, sets her down, and continues walking. An hour passes in silence. The young monk's mind will not rest. Finally he speaks his objection. The elder's response has echoed through centuries of Zen teaching, pointing to a burden we all carry without knowing it.
