Metta and the 3 Myths

<p><em>Talk given by Arthaketu on 2026-06-20. </em></p><p>How do different ways of understanding the spiritual life shape our meditation practice?</p><p>In this talk, Arthaketu explores the relationship between the Metta Bhavana and the three myths of the spiritual life described by Subhuti: the myth of development, the myth of surrender, and the myth of discovery.</p><p>What do these three perspectives mean in practice? How might our experience of loving-kindness change when we approach it from the perspective of cultivation, as something that can be received, or as recognising it as already present?</p><p>Enjoyed this talk?
