This is a fascinating episode because it clearly demonstrates how Buddhism is using the understanding of our relationship with energy to connect with the God that Western religion talks about. It makes it really hard to see what the value of Western religion would be in comparison other than an obstacle to overcome and thus become stronger. We have to do work to make our inner world coordinate with our outer world. Our higher nature has to be coaxed out of us. We have to relate with ourselves in order to relate with others. Ourself is the universe. Thanks for this episode.
