Show Notes

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. For example, no human being (not your child or your spiritual mentor) is “Amazing”” or “Perfect.” Moments may be amazing and perfect, but then they will change. We find the synonyms for “kindness” do not relate to being “nice,” but to benevolence, courage, affection or grace. To maintain a truthful kind attitude towards self and other, no matter our difference in points of view or beliefs, is a goal on the path from war to wisdom.
