Episode notes
Peace Underlies Surface Fluctuations
- Fluctuations in life will affect your surface emotions but not the core of who you are.
- A background substratum of peace remains when you're rooted in the being dimension.
Beyond Happiness And Unhappiness
- The deeper state of connectedness is not the same as ordinary happiness because happiness depends on circumstances.
- Beyond happiness and unhappiness there is peace that arises from being rather than external events.
Practice Acceptance, Then Secondary Acceptance
- Welcome what arises and practice acceptance when things are not favorable unless you can change them.
- Use secondary acceptance by accepting your emotional reaction if you miss initial acceptance.
