Intro to Understand Our Life Circumstances as Spiritual Effects, Part Two
This is Part Two of the introduction to the fourth of the seven practices of the Way of the Higher Self, Understand Our Life Circumstances as Spiritual Effects. The point of this practice is to understand the ways we might actually bring adversity upon ourselves, even when it seems as though we’re unlucky or life is being arbitrarily cruel. This gives us the opportunity to approach life differently, and generate more positive outcomes. In this episode, Karl lays out a detailed sequence of questions for unpacking unpleasant life circumstances designed to highlight the hidden ways in which we brought adversity upon ourselves.
1:25 - Start
3:11 - A recap of the daily review technique as discussed in prior episodes
6:13 - Unpacking unpleasant life circumstances to highlight the hidden ways in which we brought adversity upon ourselves
15:06 - Karl’s list of “images” (expectations, basically) he has or used to have about life)
26:24 - Karl runs the unpleasant story from the previous episode through the list of questions designed to unpack such experiences
