Episode 59: Active Resistance
August 1, 2022
When we are resting in our true selves, we are whole, integrated, and feel a sense of peace. Yet there are many distractions that constantly beckon us to engage – and they get us out of this place of rest. We cannot simply desire to be our true selves, we have to actively resist what competes for our attention. This could be our need for perfection, our constant comparing of ourselves to others, our need to fit in, our need for certitude, etc. We have to actively resist these things so that we can live from a place of stability and wholeness
In this episode, we will imagine ourselves at rest, and notice those things that are vying for our attention. We will imagine actively resisting them by letting them go. As we resist, and rest in who we truly are, we will be set free for service in the world, but from a place of our true selves and wholeness, connected to God. And that is what will change the world.
Our listening portion today is taken from Psalm 116 and 62:
“In God alone is my soul at rest.
Return to your rest, my soul.
Set me free for your service.”
