This episode of the Transformation Intensive podcast explores the 'Two Value Systems' also called The Two Standards in the Second Movement of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola. Listeners are encouraged to be honest with themselves and with God, as essential for prayer and spiritual growth. The episode includes Ignatius's Rules for Discernment, particularly Rule 5, “Don’t make big changes in desolation.” Presenters discuss the cosmic battle between good and evil, symbolized in Ignatian exercises as two opposing flag or banners. The meditation aims to help participants recognize the deceits of evil and embrace the genuine life in Christ. Additional tips are provided for women and men on how to engage deeply with these exercises. Val concludes with practical advice on meditation.
