Noah and Raghu Markus catch up with Joseph Goldstein to talk about poetry, imposter syndrome, trust, and more. Grab a copy of Joseph’s poems and reflections HERE In this episode, Raghu, Joseph, and Noah connect through these topics: How Joseph revitalized his poetic spirit while traveling in Spain Revision as the most important process of writing Struggling with imposter syndrome How poetry overlaps the meditative space Silence as an integral precursor to creativity The beauty within very ordinary experiences How aversion traps us just as much as desire Compassion as the activity of emptiness Loneliness and the myth of intimacy Building trust and self-confidence Artistic versus scientific ways of understanding Anger as a messenger and using wise discernment Be sure to check out this talk on quantum mechanics, as suggested by Joseph in today’s episode. About Joseph Goldstein: Joseph Goldstein has been leading insight and loving-kindness meditation retreats worldwide since 1974. He is a co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, where he is one of the organization’s guiding teachers. In 1989, together with several other teachers and students of insight meditation, he helped establish the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies. “A lot of creativity comes out of the silence because then it’s more intuitive rather than thinking through something. It’s that overlap that I really love. I can be in a quiet space and a very ordinary perception of something takes on more meaning because I’m not just rushing through it, I’m actually there in it.” – Joseph Goldstein See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…
