Awakening from the Trance of Bad-Othering (2020-09-09) - Great
spiritual leaders of social movements teach that true
transformation arises from realizing our interconnectedness, and
the light of the divine in each being. Sadly, through human
history, much suffering has come from perceiving others as
bad-others, flawed humans who are excluded from our heart. This
talk looks at how our stories and mistrust of others—in personal
relationships and in our society—can lead to cycles of violence,
harm and deepening alienation. We then explore the inner process
that helps us shift to “bad behavior, not bad human” and allows us
to respond to suffering with love-in-action.
