NEW232Y1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Interpersonal Relationship, Psychoanalysis
Document Summary
The normal meditation is very private and solid. But the difference between the loving and kindness meditation is about the relationship between others. Nowadays you can find a love-kind meditation in the clinical settings. It is going to increase the positive emotions, an attitude, wishing everything well. It is about love, but not romantic love. The context is very important of where this applies. Because we are feeling we are separate from the planet. We are made of the planet, and the separate is the problem, and we are going to be harmful. We are objectifying it, but if you subjectify things, you are less separate. Our minds are identical, there is not race, skin, color all the difference we see are just the consciousness. At the basic level, we are all the same. When you think one is more important than others, here comes the suffering. Mindful meditation: you don"t judge, just simple watching.
