The judging mind helps hold the sense of self as a static entity. Compassion allows us to be with all manifestations, however painful, allowing for healing and release.
We get pulled away from ourselves in different ways. This talk explores both the mechanisms of how we get disconnected from being present, and how come those mechanisms exert such a powerful pull on our consciousness. The exploration encourages a careful and caring investigation of those obstacles, as the way to understand, and liberate them.
The mechanisms of judgment, shame and blame are misguided attempts to protect ourselves when we have no other resources. We can now see how they are unskillful and connect with our inherent beautiful qualities as a resource to meet these energies and let them go.
When we recognize our Buddha Nature, the boundless awareness at the heart of our being, lovingkindness arises effortlessly as an innate characteristic.
