Episode Description
The title of this episode alludes to the well-known documentary about quantum physics, “What the Bleep Do We Know?” Quantum physics questions our perception of reality and the universe, always wanting to “know” the truth. But even at the level of quark, what do we really know? And what is the truth? From a spiritual perspective, we take a different route to the same goal--it’s not about knowing but deepening our practice to reach the state of “don’t know” mind. In this beginning of the 21st century, science is now confirming what spirituality has always said: The universe is one field of consciousness in which we are part of, and even made of. The Indra’s net is the holographic, conscious universe. But what does it mean to our regular life, or what does it add to our practice? With Zen master Soeng Hyang (Bobby Rhodes) and Reiki master Wendy Lipson we are looking at the space of “don’t know” mind where true consciousness and healing spring. Quote: “Created by mind alone” is not a philosophical point about whether everything is inside or outside, or whether outside even exists. The point is that we experience everything in our minds, nowhere else.” (Zen master Wu Kwang)

The concept of new consciousness of the 21st century has pervaded the culture in many ways and expressions, and yet it remains unclear to many of us. What is it about the new consciousness that is important to grasp? The PODCAST addresses the core aspect of the new consciousness, the self-transformation, and self-realization, and aims at offering tools, reflections, directions, and suggestions from different fields of expertise to help people understand, open their minds, empower themselves and be aligned with their true nature and life mission.
