This journey on Mindrolling, Raghu and David weave through:
- Opposing the idea of ‘I think, therefore I am’
- The disease of overthinking and why we think
- Letting thoughts come through and letting it go
- How our relationship to thought is what makes us suffer
- Focused, creative, compassionate thinking as the center of our growth
- The necessity of compassion for oneself along with mindfulness
- Coming back into mantra when our mind wanders
- Passing through thoughts that are negative rather than getting hooked
- Right thinking and right action
”This is workable conditions. We can absolutely transform so that we are not hooked and glued to these thoughts and the belief and story from which they come from.” – Raghu Markus
About David Silver:
David Silver is the former co-host of the Mindrolling podcast. He is a filmmaker and director, most recently coming out with Brilliant Disguise. Brilliant Disguise tells the unique story of a group of inspired Western spiritual seekers from the 60s, who in meeting the great American teacher, Ram Dass, followed him to India to meet his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, familiarly known as Maharaj-ji. Two days before he left his body, Maharaj-ji instructed K.C. Tewari to take care of the Westerners, which he did resolutely until the day he died in 1997. Silver’s #1 charting MGM/UA/Warners film, “The Compleat Beatles” is the critically acclaimed biopic movie about history’s most famous band. The term ‘rockumentary’ was first applied to this two-hour movie. Rolling Stone recently described the film as a “masterwork.” Silver’s Warner Brothers’ feature film, “No Nukes” also started the whole trend of music/activism feature documentaries.
“You’re in the middle of meditating and then suddenly you’re thinking of something that happened 11 years ago with a friend who insulted you. The real trick is to learn to let it come through, then let it go. Most people agree that fighting it never works. You can’t fight it. You let it in, you look at it, you say hello, you say goodbye, with no resentment, with no passion.“ – David Silver
