Title: “Making Darkness Conscious”
Description: Carl Jung observed that, “[o]ne does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making darkness conscious.” A common experience of darkness on the spiritual path is when our comfort zone, that is, our threshold of emotional tolerance is encroached upon by a challenging experience.
Join us Sunday as Rev. Anne Blanchard shares about a current practice called Inside Circle, which came highly recommended by Angelo DiLullo, that helps her bring increased awareness to her own edge of emotional tolerance by gradually teaching herself that she can actively choose to stay conscious at that edge of discomfort.
Reading: Anja Janssen read excerpts from Inner Ramana, “The Circus and The Meadow”, pages 17-18, and from A Midwinter God: Encountering The Divine in Seasons of Darkness by Christine Valters Paintner, pages 13-15. Message.
