The Stuart Davis Show - Episode 10: The Tragedy at VA Tech

In this incredibly touching episode, Stuart tries to make sense of all the many different reactions people are having to the recent VA Tech massacre. This video offers a ten-minute opportunity to really feel into the bottomless sadness of such a tragedy, to open ourselves and breathe the impossible pain of the world into our hearts, and to release it into the infinity that dwells at the core of our being. We are reminded of how precious we truly are to each other, and how important it is to "love as much as you can love as much as you can love as much as you can love...."

This was just great. Unpacked it all nicely and then wrapped it all up succinctly. Thanks.

You could spend days using every dripping ounce of your reasoning ability to understand the intuitive insight that your wife (my wife also) seems to just float in. I love my wife.

Insightful as always. Thank you.

I notice getting wrapped up in our intellectual Ego, we forget we are not the universe. Our individual thoughts don't make the universe, or heck even our personal universe ( such as "The Secret" seems to imply).

Life isn't that simple, and yet it is that simple.

I know when I heard about this, I had heartfelt love to the shooter and his family, knowing he needed it the most, before and after the shooting. We all need love, epically those who don't receive it.

Brilliant. This is among the most lucid and thoughtful responses to the Va Tech massacre that I've seen. Thanks Stu.

[grasshulaskirt]

This is so refreshing. Thank you.

"so why am I thrashing around? There's nothing to fear, I'm ready to drown"

Alas, the cause is anti-depresent drugs.

every school shooting as the same root cause.

from Stockton to colombine to VA tech.

The statement - "It's strange to rail against the universe's non-discrimination" - seems to ignore that personal sensibility towards the universe is tied to one's developmental progress. There's nothing strange about a suffering person hyperbolizing adjectivally with 'innocent' & 'guilty': it's a reaction of anger at a God/Universe that bafflingly doesn't discriminate.

However, perhaps calling a suffering person strange while declaring universal perfectness is exactly what's needed.

I can feel pitty for a murderer, while i shot him in selfdefense, can't I? I can know that he is a hellrider (in a bardo way) and whish he would do better, instead of wishing him even deeper to hell.

why not stop assuming wheter a statement comes from gut, heart, or mind. heartfelt compassion was showed for the murdere wich is healty green, as long as it does not come with a mind-wise "let him kill if he wants" and as long its is not caused by gutfelt fear of "dont dare to held him back"
