31. Love Pt. 2 - Seeking and Realizing Love

In the last episode, I said "Humanity is in a several thousand year process of... trying to come back into alignment with Love." But there's a paradox worth contemplating there, which is that while culture seeks to align more with love, love is also all there is. Even in the wars, oppression, and traumas of modernity. With careful nuance and honoring the pain and difficulties of very real suffering, in this episode I invite you to hold paradox with me, to welcome the experience and perspective of Love into your life no matter the circumstances you're moving through. In this episode: The inevitable end of modernity and swing towards balance The paradox of the path and the destination Practicing to reach enlightenment and the recognition that everything is already enlightened The difference between relative and absolute reality The unloving relative reality of modernity The absolute love of all things, including the relative process that is far from loving Living as if everything in relative reality were an angel Viewing relative reality from the absolute dimension Seeing Love is much easier from a wider, deep-time, developmental perspective How out of alignment the fascist dictator is The destination is in the journey, so try to have some lightness and enjoyment with the journey
