From Free Buddhist Audio on Tue, 10 Sep, 2013 - 23:12

In Monday’s FBA Dharmabyte, “Radical Interconnectedness,” Satyanandi looks at radical interconnectedness and the nature of mind as it meets the world.

In the full talk, “How We See the World,” she takes the listener on a very intriguing trip through the myriad worlds of consideration that arise when view, experience and reality meet. Her starting point is science and its various models for how the universe works – from mechanism to quantum physics.
