No. 103 Making Sense of the World (or not) with Kyley and Eva
What is going on in the world right now. Kyley and Eva discuss war in Ukraine and navigating the magnitude of the last few weeks.
Some topics discussed:
* Generosity and sacrifice
* Not making the story tidy – terrible things are always happening and this is new and also the same
* Being “meant to learn a lesson” and how there's no lesson here
* Acceptance and letting things not make sense
* Connecting with suffering in a way that doesn’t feel like drowning
* White fragility and contributing in a meaningful way
* Willingness to be the villain and how that makes it possible to not be the villain.
* Resisting joy
Any of us who are witnessing the world and wanting it to be different, we create that difference in our selves, in our internal relationship to existence. The greatest contribution that you give to the world is your own liberation.
“When you let yourself embody and be fully present with something that is the very thing that gets you out of it. Turn towards it with your body and not with your mind.”
“The greatest contribution you give to the world is your own liberation, your own peace.”
