With all that is going on in the world, we may feel either compelled to do something, or we feel compelled to escape and hide, leaning on our distractions to stop the discontent we feel welling up inside of us.
Before we act, re-act, or hide, we need to pause. We need to pause because we need to connect ourselves to our true self, and to God, the divine, the universe.
In this episode, we will think of an issue in which we feel compelled to act. We will notice how it feels throughout our bodies, minds, and hearts, and then we will identify if we have our own ego driving our need to act. Then, we will go through our pause practice, settling our bodies, quieting our minds, opening our hearts, so we can connect our true self to God. As a new action rises up, we will go through the process again, identifying if it is coming from our false self/ego or our true self.
Our listening portion today is from Simone Weil, a philosopher, writer and activist.
“Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be attained only by someone who is detached.”
Waiting for God, Simone Weil, 1951.
