#32 The Elementals: AIR with Pat Noyes

Your Creative Sparks:

• CAUSES and CONDITIONS are never as LINEAR as our mind wants them to be.
• The bad news is, YOU’RE FALLING, and there is no parachute. The GOOD NEWS is there is no ground.
• The greatest source of CONFLICT is UNFULFILLED EXPECTATIONS.

Our five-part series exploring the fundamental building blocks of life – their constitution, their character, our assumptions about them, and our relationship to them. Pull up a rock and ponder at the popup clouds with Lobsterbird and Pat, on retreat in the mountains of Colorado. Marvel at how an engineering mind and tibetan buddhist practice coalesce in an atmosphere of curiosity, respect and care. Leave us a Rating & Review!

Your Travelogue

• Where do clouds come from? Everyday magic. Just because you can figure it out with some scientific theory does not make it any less cool. [5:11]
• On the other hand, we can become utterly convinced over something that is completely delusional. [12:50]
• More about the paradox of Pat. Firefighter. Transportation engineer. Adding Buddhist practice to conflict management to bring deeper understanding of people and their emotional turmoil.  [21:48]
• The greatest source of conflict is unfulfilled expectations. The remedy for that is looking within, because you can’t control the outside world. [26:01]
• Practicum! If you get angry, disappointed, or hurt… Look at what is behind the emotion. Rather than blaming, stop and ask yourself: What expectation did I have of the other person that was violated? [31:04]
