Dharma Ramblings with Mark Z

Dharma Ramblings with Mark Z

By Mark Zelinsky

Through article reads, talks, and discussion, I explore a variety of topics and traditions around applied religion and spirituality to complement my work on the app InsightTimer and markzelinsky.com. The distillation moves in the direction of how diverse topics lead into meditation practice, secluded contemplation, and hopefully the practice of a life that is good, natural, and true.

Positivity+/-Negativity=Fidelity [article read]

Here's another read-aloud of an article I wrote in preparation for our weekly InsightTimer Live session- a free, one hour long blend of topic discussion and guided meditation.

Out beyond positivity and negativity, there is fidelity. I'll meet you there. You may recognize the play on words of Rumi's poem. Defying all expectations, I decided to do an article and live session on a math problem. Let's sharpen our pencils and crunch the numbers on positivity and negativity in practice, and the delicate task of being faithful to goodness in this moment.

The Foundations of the Tower [article read]

The Foundations of the Tower [article read]

This is a reading of an article I wrote in preparation for a weekly live session on the app InsightTimer. It is a contemplation of the tower card of the tarot and the Tower of Babel, hubris leading to ultimate division and confusion, misery, distress, and unforeseen catastrophe, and the benefit of benevolent hearts, inclined to the good, wishing for the well-being of all beings.
