Turning Towards Life - a Thirdspace podcast

309: Within You Is...


Listen Later

We human beings are very sensitive to truth. So when we find the place inside us from which we can talk, truthfully, about the many aspects of our experience, it can be deeply connecting and safety-making. It also goes a long way to having the many parts of us themselves feel named and seen, and in doing so to become less desperate and fearful. And this place from which we can talk? We might call it the ‘essential self’.

Hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

Here’s our source for this week:

The body is a great sage, a many with one purpose, a war and a peace, a flock and a shepherd, a purpose that includes the free and the determined together, conflict and harmony together, multiplicity and unity as one

FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE

Within you is a place of love and grace.
It is a place without fear
Where there is no need to defend or prove,
No need to lie or hide.

From this place spring words of truth,
Actions of courage,
And a life of love.
Wait patiently for the voices of fear in your mind
To cease their frantic call to action.

Become aware of what the next clear step
Of love might be.

Be patient with yourself.
The qualities of a lover
Do not depend on externals.
They take root in your own soul
And grow as you attend to them.
They all lie within you.
