S3 Ep18: "The Biological Machine" by Paul Harris

In nature we can find self organising systems and highly complex processes that appear to happen by themselves. Paul describes a radio documentary about a marine animal that is able to reassemble its parts after they have been separated. Despite the automatic nature of our bodies, (as well as their unstable and unsatisfactory nature), we identify with them as self. Paul goes on to explain the meditation on the 32 parts of the body, in which we can truly observe non-self.

 

Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquillity.
