Episode notes
Temperance as Psychological Balance
- Temperance is about balance and moderation, not just with alcohol, but in all aspects of life.
- It involves facing life's extremes with equanimity and serenity, like a blacksmith tempering steel.
Blacksmith Analogy
- A blacksmith tempers steel by exposing it to extreme heat and cold, creating a balanced, strong weapon.
- This symbolizes the soul's journey through life's ordeals, developing strength through facing extremes with temperance.
Responding to Aggression
- Respond to aggression with understanding, patience, and love.
- Kindness is a more powerful force than anger; coercing others is black magic, while persuasion from consciousness is profound.
