The Flow of the World
Our karma (every thought and ethical motivation) floods out of us every instant and tells us every quality we see in everything and everyone in our world. ∴ If we know this, we are empowered to reverse engineer every part of ourselves/world through analyzing the foundations and mechanics of our thoughts and ethical motivations.

Passion for Music and a Meaningful Life
Benjamin Zander musically starts us out by showing us, like Nelson Mandela, how to see past all our little fences as a bird flying over them with a larger perspective. He enlarges our view to be able to see the greater overreaching relationships occurring in our lives and in music. He finally shows us how to think not in terms of wealth, or fame or power as a sign of success, but in terms of how many people around...

All of Life Becomes an Educational Situation
The very definition of an enlightened being is one who wants everyone equally to become enlightened as quickly as possible. Therefore, do you think an enlightened being would only inspire us in peaceful ways or do you think that they might also challenge us with difficult situations in order to evolve and grow? What are the implications for all those difficult people and situations in our lives? Have...

Our World Can Appear Like a Mirror or Like a Wall
Sitting in my room, I was marveling at the way mirrors add a perception of depth and distance where previously there was a wall. In that same way, when we interact with others, do we entrap ourselves within the wall-like surface level of things? Or, do we look beyond the surface level of appearances and see into the depths of how these scenarios came to be? It is quite liberating to see through the...

Enlightenment Music: SomaFM Groove Salad + Alan Watts YouTube Playlist

(⇧ adjust volume of mix)

In Buddhism, the teachings of the Buddha are supposed to adapt to the culture and not the other way around. Therefore, I’m constantly thinking about how the dharma teachings of great teachers can permeate our society and culture. So, for my culture, I love SomaFM’s Groove Salad and Alan Watts YouTube Playlists so I decided to combine them into one page of streaming dharma mixed with really great and relaxing lounge music from the amazing bay area radio station SomaFm. So I hope you enjoy the blend of wisdom teachings that somehow mixes really well with this music and you can quickly get enlightened along the way.

You can mix the volume of the shoutcast radio to match the volume of the videos. Sorry, I couldn’t find a way to preset the volume to autoplay at a preset level. But, with all our modern technology we can combine many different ideas into new mashable dharma music mixes to make our evolution as creative as we can imagine.

Please feel free to share this with your friends with the links below. You can also pop your tab into a new window to leave it running in the background while you’re enjoying life to it’s fullest!! Enjoy!!

Special thanks to Alan Watts, Groove Salad SomaFM, embedr, Shoutcast, ReligionIsACrutch, youtube.com, South Park, voidmatters and you.
