In this podcast we will return again to the way we speak to ourselves and others. Once again, we will tune into the problem of speaking the truth to ourselves and to others. We will discern speaking the truth from judging what is right and is wrong with ourselves and others. In order to speak the truth kindly, we have #1 understand what “truth” means in the nature of the reality of being Homo Sapiens and living in an imperfect and impermanent world.
