Dogma is Boring

{This is the beginning of a series of posts distilling a conversation I have been having with and listening to in the contemplative community.}
 

When I’m giving answers rather than asking questions, my opportunity to grow diminishes.

 

I just scrapped a post I was writing about radical forgiveness, because it wasn’t flowing. And it felt awesome to hit “delete.” My words were authentic, my words were filled with love, but it just wasn’t working. And so I let it go. Practice without attachment to results?

I want to be a part of a conversation, not a dictation. I want to discover what works for me, not hang on the words of others who may or may not be walking the talk they preach.

Dogma is the death of inquiry.

A healthy suspension of disbelief for the sake of practice is necessary, but there has to be some sort of cosmic checks-and-balances for the practice to have significance… meaning other than its own perpetuation.

Can I get a witness?

Jai. LOVES.
