Consciousness: The Power of Mind with Joseph Goldstein - Insight Hour Podcast Ep. 172 

Taking a journey into the vastness of the mind, Joseph Goldstein explores the creative power of consciousness.
In this episode, Joseph Goldstein elucidates:
Consciousness as the creator of our inner and outer worlds.
The suffering that can come from an uncultivated mind
Mental illness, obsessions, addictions and thought-loops
Being a prisoner of our own untrained mind
Impermanence, empowerment, and the potential of the inner Buddha
The Mahamudra and taming the mind
Staying mindful during defilement
“The Buddha talked of how this mind, this force or power of consciousness, can be our worst enemy or the most benevolent friend.” - Joseph Goldstein

“What’s most helpful to remember, in this part of the process where we become so aware of these defilements of the mind, is that they are visitors. They are not the nature of the mind itself. And because they are visitors we don’t have to judge ourselves, and we don’t have to judge them.” - Joseph Goldstein
