The Refuge of the Self

from Authentic Living · host Andrea Mathews

We have been taught to believe that any refuge, any safety can only be found outside of us—through external events, circumstances and people. We strive, therefore, to find the "right" circumstances, the "right" people and the best possible events for our lives. We want to make the "right" amount of money, the "right" jobs, the "right" level of prestige and power, and of course, the "right" relationships. And, of course, we want to be smart about all of these life decisions, but they cannot provide the kind of refuge that can only be found in the Self. So, what do we mean by Self? And how can it create a refuge bigger, broader and more profound than any of life's circumstances, events or relationships—and, indeed, can even guide us to making aligning life choices? Don't miss this show.
