A Resonant Life Mike Thompson

Facing an imminent meeting with someone to whom I had a grudge, I decided I was no longer willing to carry the weight and negativity of old grudges — the one against this person or any of my more than several grudgees. By looking at how a grudge is fixed in our hearts and minds, we’re able to find an antidote! On the way, we can discover what in Buddhism is called “suchness” and re-focus negative energy for the good of others with our altruistic actions.

We go through life conflating thankfulness and gratitude and I suspect gratitude is something much deeper, more significant. Using some of the Buddha’s teaching, as well as our own experience, we discover that gratitude emerges and flourishes when we surrender to the understanding that we are not self-arisen beings, but the product of the past and present as well as ancestors and all those who helped us become who we are here and now. While we can’t define gratitude, we can point to it and, when cultivated, use it to create more peace in our world.

Conflicts and disagreements and toxicity are pervasive in our world — from society at large to our neighborhoods and even inner circle of family and friends. This all leads to conflict — quarrels, fights and disagreements with some of those closest to us. To combat conflict in the world, we can start by resolving conflicts we have with people in our lives. And apologizing is a most powerful way to do it. Listen to explore this path to peace.

Recognizing when we ourselves are being jerks is an opportunity to look deeply into our psyches, our egos, and find the places in our mind where we cling, grasp and protect our fragile egos. Finding the roots of Buddhism’s “three poisons,” we uncover opportunities to convert those negativities into positive actions for abiding happiness and peace.

Building on what we discussed before, we tackle the question -- how can I change the world if I can't even change my life or the people around me? And how can I do so if I am overwhelmed by the turmoil and tragedy in today's world? Join us as we explore a path forward that transcends and helps us recover our spiritual agency a act as powerful creators of peace.

The tragedies of our world -- war, oppression, poverty and want -- can so easily overwhelm us that we turn inward. We tend to shut down our hearts so we don't drown in the suffering around us. It hurts too much to care sometimes. Using this feeling of being overwhelmed, we can find a path of strength that leads us to not shut down, but to open up more and become stronger, kinder, more compassionate and true forces of peace in the world.
