The Online Store: Transcripts of Each Talk
|
|
It is an entirely different experience to read one of Mark's talks than it is to listen to it. The concepts go in to a different area of the brain and fill out an understanding in an important and unique way. Each one of Mark's talks is transcribed and most are made available on the Online Store. The layout is designed to be easy to read with a slightly larger font and generous spacing. The transcripts are available as PDF digital downloads or as a wirebound 8.5" x 11" booklet. See all Transcripts. |
Each month the Deepen Your Practice program also contains a transcript of one or more talks relating to that month's topic within the curriculum.
from Mark Griffin:
“From the standpoint of the student-teacher relationship, it is very natural: You went to school, you went to class, you heard the talk or the lecture and then you got a reading assignment that supported the teaching, homework. It's a way for the mind to absorb these teachings.
In the study of a subject of great depth, when you're in the learning process - you touch it and you feel it and come into a relationship with it - but there's always parts of it you get and parts of it you don't get. When you're listening to a lecture on a subject, there's parts of it that come easy and parts of it that you don't understand.
Having been a student all my life, I've noticed the difference of being able to grasp an experience when it's coming at you, mind-meld words and expression, an example and explanation - and I know when I get it and I know when I missed it.
And I've found that oftentimes complex information is more easily tackled when it's written down and you have the opportunity to read it over and over again. At first, the teaching seems kind of opaque, and then it starts to open up to you, then you start to grasp it, gain knowledge of it and understand it and then realize it.” ~ Mark Griffin, May, 2010
