Informal discussion led by Guy Finley at Life of Learning Foundation on 4/3/10
In this Saturday discussion the topic explored is violence and its manifestations in our lives. Guy explains that no one can have true compassion that doesn't first see the violence within. Violence, seen fully, is when opposing forces meet. In nature opposing forces are successfully reconciled in each moment yet, with our present level of understanding, there is no proper reconciliation and violence represents a mindless chaos that is directed toward something or someone. Our work is to see these mechanical reactions, use our energy for the purpose of becoming aware, and then this energy will produce seeds for what is higher.
