Letting go is a recurrent theme of many spiritual traditions. In this clip from his Burning Man interview, Peter Russell reframes letting go as "letting in" and "letting be".
Letting Go
Samsara means "to wander on endlessly". Peter Russell discusses how we wandering on through life seeking one transient satisfaction after another, not realizing that that which we seek is our true nature. Nirvana means "to extinguish" as in blowing out a flame. Knowing our true nature blows out the flame of desire that drives the endless wandering on.
