SUMMARY:Hamza Omer
DESCRIPTION:What is the Value of Zero? Zero is a number\, a concept\, a paradox. Zero is the nothingness\, it precedes the beginning of something but it is also the void left behind after the end of everything. What does it mean in context of our existence? Our life? Viewed through the lens of modern science our entire selves\, tangible and intangible\, body and mind\, matter and energy\, form part of the limitless continuum of time and space. All of our experiences can be interpreted as the constant flux of matter and energy\, the result of which must invariably be zero\, for neither can be created or destroyed. If we talk about space\, the vast ever-expanding nothingness that surrounds us\, the space that we occupy in comparison\, our cities\, our countries\, our whole planet infact is infinitesimal. Likewise\, when it comes to the dimension of time\, our short duration on this planet\, our civilizations\, the entire epoch of homo sapiens pales in relation to the insanely large timescale of the universe. When we consider the expanse of this universe\, our entire existence seems so small\, so insignificant that it can approximated to zero. Does it mean that our lives and all our achievements are insignificant? Does our conscious experience amount to nothing? Are we\, zero? How does that feel? Terrifying? Or Liberating?

SUMMARY:Burhan Khan
DESCRIPTION:This talk is about hearing our own inner voice in silence\, blocking out the external noise\, going deeper within to that absolute emptiness where you may find the purity & true inspiration. Practicing our skills in art\, applying discipline to our conditioned minds\, finding our focus & joy in this vastness of never ending now. Will be discussing my personal journey & search towards what we truly capable of\, a lot was passed down to me through great teachers & masters\, from all walks of life. Going into the shamanic\, tribal\, Sufi\, Buddhist & Vedic cultures & teachings. For me\, the absolute Zero is a circle in which we sit with our mind at ease\, letting the life lessons circle around you\, while we just look it all playfully as it passes\, reminding yourself that there is only this moment\, here and now\, as everything else is just an illusion\, like past\, future & time itself. \n[rtec-registration-form]
