For the Sake of Heaven, Episode 9
We’re live every Sunday morning at 9am UK time. You can join our facebook group to watch live, view archives, and join in the growing community and conversation that’s happening around this project.
This week in 'Turning Towards Life' Justin and Lizzie began with Jennifer Wellwood's poem "Unconditional". We talked together about how difficult it can be to really accept our experience, how easy to run from it, and the consequences. Along the way we considered why it is that human beings so often prefer to be right than to stay in relationship, and how that's related to our wish to defend ourselves. And we introduced the idea of an argument 'for the sake of heaven'... which is when we disagree in a way that keeps a bigger context in view and allows us to let go of our own rigid positions.
You can find the poem, which we recommend you read before watching, here.
