Wholiness Part 3: Wholiness and the Self
Manage episode 407151362 series 2291755
In this episode we explore how wholiness is related to the self. Sometimes religion can be sold to us as needing a kind of self-rejection or the suppression of our selves – because then God can be sold to us as the cure. But our suggestion is spirituality at its best will help us become ‘more ourselves’ rather than less. This is not just good vibes religion – it is a deeply counter cultural narrative that invites us to begin with embracing the self rather than amplifying the inner critic. We also look at how this is not just an individualistic spirituality – to know (and to love) the self requires a grounding in the context of our relationships and connections with others, with those who have gone before us, and with the ground beneath our feet. If you'd like to use the spiritual practice of palms down/palms us at the end of this recording for yourself, you'll find it at our website: https://www.edgekingsland.co.nz/the-good-stuff
