Ep. 183 | What to Do When Someone You've Put on a Pedestal Disappoints You

My teacher said something at the end of the retreat that knocked me sideways. What I wasn't expecting was what came out of me when it did. This episode is about the last day in Lourdes, a hard conversation, and the moment I realized my healing had gotten strong enough to hold its ground in the hardest room. There's a passage in Consolations about disappointment that I keep returning to. It says that to be disappointed is to be called to a foundational reality that lies beyond any false self we had only projected onto the outer world. And that what we call disappointment may be just the first stage in our emancipation into the next greater pattern of existence.  This is an episode about what it means to finally see someone you love as fully human, and what becomes available when you do.  Question to carry into your day: What are you afraid you would lose if the person you've put on a pedestal turned out to be human?  Ready to do this work with real support?
