Transcending Contradiction— previews of the content
Teaching one
"The mind struggles to navigate opposing perspectives, opposing experiences. For the mind is so deeply shaped by inherited wounding, Ancestral experiences of severance, ruptures between family member, between groups, and, most significantly, ruptures- perceived ruptures and energetic ruptures- in relationship to the Divine.
These ruptures, these severances, instill in the mind a sense of safety in deciding right versus wrong, good versus threatening, aligned versus misaligned, in a way that secures a status of correctness. One person, one idea, one perspective being of value more so than another.”
Teaching two
"When posed with threat or perceived threat in this lifetime, the mind recalls previous experiences of threat and perceived threat, projects those experiences onto this moment, so as to alert the body to respond in accordance.
The places where this projection of previous experiences of threat or perceived threat requires attention is where this accrued wounding prevents the mind from recognizing the nuance of this moment, of this current moment. And mires the mind in previous experiences of pain, of threat, of horror, of violation, of heartbreak."
Teaching three
"The act of transcending these current contradictions does not mean blurring your political stance or softening the wide clarity. But, instead, recognizing/noticing where your own mind is hinged....
To notice this brings the heart online. Releases your stance of gripping the mind and accidentally gripping the Ancestrally accrued layers of pain, fear, rage, heartbreak. And allows the depth and width of Divine consciousness of the heart to envelop you."
Teaching four
"The very nature of you being alive and awake to this moment, to witness this moment, to act in accordance with your own soul's mission in this moment, to rest in this moment, simply to be in this moment means that you are, in fact, a contribution to the healing, to the liberation, to the transformation of this moment.
The mind likes to play tricks: Deciding who is good and who is less than. Deciding when you are good and when you are less than. This is simply evidence of the impact of the way that trauma has accrued and affected/shaped the mind. But from the heart, from a wide, spacious, compassionate truth of interconnection, there is no less than."
Teaching five
"When you choose to surrender the mind into the heart, when you choose to let go of the grasp of hands, of jaw, of chest, and imagine into/allow yourself into the fullness of the heart's capacity, you open inside of you the path for this Divine infinite compassion to reach those Ancestral places of harm, of pain, of excruciating heartbreak. Those places that are trying to maintain protection, even generations and generations after the harm has occurred.
To allow those places to be fed by Divine energy, by Divine care, releases you, releases your mind, from the commitment to moving in this world, in this body, from a place of inherited trauma. And allows you, instead, to find more ease and permission to lead from the heart."
Teaching six
"To surrender the mind to the heart, to allow the heart to lead, means to not figure one's way into holding complexities, but to simply notice that complexities exist. Rather than needing to decide who deserves what, who deserves more, whose pain is more necessary to attend to in this very moment, out of a true lack of resource that is perceived by the mind, the heart needs no limitations or strata. For all can receive attending at once."
"To allow your pain to arise, be witnessed, and healed is not attention drawn away from the place where the most immediate suffering is occurring. It is evidence of your witness that allows your pain to arise, for the sake of healing. Not for the sake of drawing attention away from or denying that of another's.
To be clear on this we must go to the wisdom of the heart where there is indeed enough space, enough physical space, for the pain of each individual and each Peoplehood to coexist and to co-release."
