The Buddha talked about beings that are volitional (driven by personal will) or functional (performing their function seamlessly in an awakened state). The transition from adolescence to adulthood is when we find out who we actually are by performing our function and not thinking we are special. A skilful human being moves like a stick through wate…

The experience is what has a transformative effect in meditation. Seeing something we have not seen before can create a paradigm shift which helps us transform our suffering. Peak experiences are not the cessation of suffering. The real testament is the refinement of character which means you are not afflicted by what happens to you.…

Volition was originally launched in 2022 to run interviews with people whose careers I admired. To learn about how they switched between different kinds of work, learned new skills, and flexed their agency. These episodes will continue to be available in the podcast history but with this episode the podcast is relaunching with a new focus. I recent…

The Buddha was not interested in teaching the momentary cessation of suffering but finding a pathway to cut off at the root the habit of bringing ourselves to suffering. When he was a prince twenty-five centuries ago, he came to the conclusion that there is no happiness to be found in the pursuit of pleasure alone. After he renounced his worldly li…

We may not have recognised it but somewhere inside us is a longing for a sense of deep connection to what we are part of. We try to do meet this through ideas but this is not the same as being totally present. We need to turn up fully to our experience rather than get lost in thinking about it all and meditation is a process of gradually bringing t…

With more mindfulness, you can see what you are bringing to this moment from the past. When you witness this without a sense of self, you see things much for how they really are rather than what you think they are. We can bring a more objective perspective and open the door to some of the charge we are carrying.…

The goal of meditation is to free ourselves from suffering of the affliction we experience in our life. To see clearly what life is, we have to polish the lens that we look through. Understanding comes from insight rather than studying or intellectual reflection. The eightfold noble path leads to liberation through insight. As soon as you see what …

What did the Buddha say was the cause of suffering? You might think that attachment is the cause of our suffering, but attachment itself is caused by ignorance. If we saw what life truly is, we would not suffer. Our ignorance is the illusion of self. When we are absorbed in what we are doing, our sense of self fades. The arising of the sense of me …

You don’t know what you are going to get in life – good luck or bad luck, who knows? Sometimes life goes your way and sometimes it does not. It does not matter what you get, it matters how you meet each experience with a clear mind. Burgs goes onto to discuss karma and consciousness and asks what do you know to be true? The views we cling to are hi…

What causes disturbances in our meditation once we have established serenity and are not throwing any more pebbles into the pond of our mind? It’s our old stock of unwholesome mental states which shake our heart base.

We have tendency in a materialistic culture to take the Dharma into our mind at an intellectual level but we have to put the Buddha’s teachings into the context of the deeply spiritual culture within which he taught.

There is a current of vital force running through you. Vitality is partly generated from the volition or desire that we bring to our actions.

Your soul is something that is inherent in you and is deeply conditioned by everything you have experienced. It feels like something that is fundamentally “me” which we can break down and dismantle.
