The Voice From The Heart, and the backlash to reconciliation

Andrew Tootell's OzZen Podcast

In this talk I reflect on the “Voice from the Heart”, why the referendum lost and what has to happen next. It provides a brief historical background to the Voice and it includes some reflections on the One and the Many from a Zen perspective and applies the concept of “spiritual bypassing” at the collective level when a nation denies the truth of its history. It concludes with the following quote from James Baldwin: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced”. Caveat: There was some technical problem with the recording so the quality is not very good.
