Austin West
Spirituality as a Practice
Coherence is when the mind and the heart are aligned: a threshold talk spoken from the heart.
What Austin carried
Austin sat on the front speaker, face to face with "the people I love more than anything in this life," and named the moment a threshold. He had spoken from the mind his whole life, and came to SolarPunk to learn to speak to the heart. His teaching was coherence: "coherence is when the mind and the heart are aligned," and he cannot create it outside himself if he is not coherent within. His practice for it is contemplation, which uses both mind and heart to understand the inner landscape. He led a minute of contemplation on what entheos means, to remember the divine within, and offered a map of suffering: truth unspoken, truth unfelt, truth unlived. His prayer was that we each find where we still avoid our truth. We chose each other.

In their own words
“my purpose coming in when Angel offered me a spot to speak was to get out of the mind. and learn to speak to the heart.”
“coherence is when the mind and the heart are aligned i cannot create coherence outside of myself if i'm not coherent inside of myself and so my favorite practice to build coherence is contemplation”
“meditation is observing the self contemplation is understanding the self because it uses both the modality of the mind and the heart to understand our own internal landscape”
“That is what entheos means. entheos is the greek root word of entheogen which literally means to remember the divine within”
“all suffering in life is a disconnection from truth which is the heart suffering of the mind is truth unspoken suffering of the body is truth unfelt and suffering of the soul which is the heart sorrow of the soul is truth unlived”
“every one of us specifically chose this moment of time right now to help the evolution of all of humanity all of consciousness to come back into the frequency of embodying the heart we chose each other”
