Sacred Sundays: Healing Guilt and Shame with Lama Michael Gregory at 8AM PST
In guilt, shamed identity will irrationally decide that something so wrong has been done that our value and worth as dignified human beings has been diminished.
Because the ability to observe emotional mood states come and go without attachment has not been fully cultivated and refined, a person may suddenly find that they have become the person they never wanted to be. There is no need to be frightened out of your wits by the monsters of your own making. No medication can stop this. Each person must learn to use the innate power of their mind. 🙏
A person is not temporary emotional states, nor do these states belong to them - repeat and say again - emotional states are not personal. Stop seeking different states and the mind will finally see that emotional states are illusion-like waves on the ocean of unchanging awareness.
As long as we live, May we keep learning how to love all that rises and falls on the playgrounds and fields of conscious awareness - for all that appears is inseparable from the primordial and luminous nature of mind itself.
The Return of Sacred Sundays: The Emotional Elegance Series: How to Be Free of Anxiety
Each year I present a series that we call Emotional Elegance. Emotional elegance is shorthand for learning how to not to have anger, anxiety, guilt and depression interfere with your life. Practical skills that have evolved from the Buddhist traditions will be offered with pragmatic and easy to assimilate teachings on bringing an end to destructive emotions through mindfulness and highly effective cognitive behavioral techniques. All are welcome to attend by generosity only.
