In this recent 4-day retreat hosted by Science and Nonduality called Pathways to Wholeness, Gabor weaves Johnny Cash and the Buddhist ‘Dhammapada’ to illuminate that all reality takes place in the field of our consciousness (AKA mind), and, more importantly, what to do with that information.
“Mind is a forerunner of all actions.
All deeds are led by mind, created by mind.
If one speaks or acts with corrupt mind,
suffering follows,
As the wheel follows the hoof of an ox pulling a cart.
Mind is the forerunner of all actions.
All deeds are led by mind, created by mind.
If one speaks or acts with a serene mind,
happiness follows,
As surely as one’s shadow.
‘He abused me, he mistreated me, defeated me, robbed me.’
Harboring such thoughts keeps hatred alive.
‘He abused me, he mistreated me, defeated me, robbed me.’
Releasing such thoughts banishes hatred for all time.
Animosity does not eradicate animosity.
Only by loving kindness is animosity dissolved.
This law is ancient and eternal.”
― Dhammapada
