Confession, Despair, and Saving Moths (Link #669)




Mangala Shri Bhuti - The Link show

Summary: Speaker: Ram Jyoti. Drawing from a broad array of sources, including the Dharma, the enneagram, A Course in Miracles, Carolyn Myss, and The Gnostic Gospels, Ram Jyoti reflects on what she has learned about confession, despair, aspiration, and kindness. Confession requires us to look honestly at ourselves, offering in return a sense of relief and purification. Cultivating the courage to "simmer" prepares us to learn the lessons that can be taught only by experiencing betrayal and despair. Extending patience and tolerance to our neuroses engenders kindness to all beings, and generates the aspiration to liberate all beings.
