This FBA Dharmabyte 'Our Habitual Mind is Unaware' by Ratnadhya, is excerpted from Mind the Gap - Creating the Creative Space.
Given at an introductory meditation weekend retreat in Worcestershire, Ratnadhya addresses the subject of Bardos and what they can teach us about our need to cultivate creative gaps in our lives in which we can just be rather than do. He talks about bardos of scale, from the traditional bardos of life and death, to the bardos that arise quite naturally within a single life, a single year, a single day, even the gaps which can be observable in our moment to moment experience, at least within meditation - all of them offering opportunities for glimpsing the true nature of our experience, and the possibility of moving from the reactive to the creative mind.
