Over the past decades, technological advances have transformed our lives, and the rise of AI is already showing its impact on our society. In this talk, Shaykh Burhanuddin will explore this topic and its relationships with our human and spiritual condition.

This talk focuses on the Moh/Transpersonal Center & the Enlightenment Drive. Most people have never heard of the Enlightenment Drive, it is our “Flame for Awakening.” The majority of humans don’t have this drive active, but people on a spiritual path DO have it active, even if only a little. For some, it can be quite strong, even compelling us to give up “worldly” life to focus on our spiritual practice.

This talk focuses on the Head Center and the Social instinct, which is our sense of safety derived from being a member of the “tribe” (or pushing against the tribe). For millennia, humans and other mammals’ survival was much more likely if we had the protection of a tribe, and one of the greatest punishments was being kicked out of the tribe. We see this fear in the fact that public speaking (fear of doing something to cause rejection by the group) is the #1 fear of adults, even greater than the fear of death!

In the sacred scriptures, the age we live in is described as the end of times; without regard to the gravity of the tone used, this just means that we are in a transitioning time. This is a unique occasion for transformation, an opportunity for humanity to evolve; However, it does not come by default. Transformation implies leaving behind emotional attachments and behavioral patterns to undertake moral healing and inner responsibility.
Venerable Sangye Khadro, author of How to Meditate: A Practical Guide, talks about practical ways in which we can cultivate kindness in our daily life.
Sometimes we find ourselves striving for something different in our lives, trying to make sense of the world we live in. We yearn for change, and despite all the advances reached, the core never seems to change and remains the same. This is because our vision is entrenched in the system we live in. To go beyond, we need "Metanoia,” a transformation of our minds, a new paradigm allowing us to see beyond the frame we are settled in.

During this session, we will discuss the different levels of the ego, how it works in its different stages, how it keeps us trapped in our repetitive patterns, and how we can escape the illusion and reach higher realms of reality.

Bring your most burning questions and ask them to Meido Moore Roshi in this Live Q&A session.

Looking at all the religions, traditions, and spirituality in practice today, we wonder why it has little impact on our societies and the world. During this session, we will have a look at this topic from another perspective, from the inside to the outside and inner responsibility.
In this talk, Tina will explain what the SuperEgo/Inner Critic is and how it works, and provide ways of working with it directly. This increases the likelihood that our patterns can be truly liberated and digested—rather than suppressed or repressed into the unconscious—so that we can truly be free of them in a lasting way.
