The Sacred Cauldron
Tonight we shall listen to an erudite discourse on suffering, exploring what it is, why it is, the right way to face it and endure it, and even profit spiritually from it—and the ways a therapist (or atmanologist) can help someone who is suffering by examining its nature and reframing its meaning and teleological significance.
The speaker is Lionel Corbett, one of the most profound and spiritual Jungian analysts still working in that theoretical context and applying Jung’s ideas as interpreted with the most open and nondual inflection of the power of the human spirit to overcome all contingencies on the phenomenal plane.
He also notes how inaccurate therapy can hinder or even prevent the full flowering of the soul’s inherent healing power, if treated in a reductionistic or reified manner, within the two-valued logic of the ego.
He gives many helpful insights to enable us to develop compassion and to relate to others with appropriate consideration of the paradigmatic limitations of their capacity to drop toxic beliefs and delusional fantasies that result in very poor decisions and anxious reactions. The augmentation of the nuanced art of deconstructing those assumptions that retard our psychospiritual potentials from activating is one of the essential signs of a maturing divinization of our intellect.
All of us will sooner or later know firsthand the feeling of being boiled in the sacred cauldron of suffering. Let us understand the hidden blessings of such a dark night when we are overshadowed by the angel of death, recognizing the immortality of consciousness, and learn how to turn this holy moment into the portal to blissful liberation. This is the function of Sat Yoga.
Namaste,
Shunyamurti

Webinar with Lionel Corbett M.D.
Summary: Please forgive the repetition of a documentary film presentation tonight, but there are good reasons. This fascinating lecture is too important and too closely tied to yesterday’s wisdom video to delay in showing it to you. Unlike yesterday’s masterful explanation of the paradigmatic roots of Islam, this discourse by Abdal Hakim Murad is an extraordinary history lesson, a portrait of the aberrant logos of modernity, but also an analysis of the relationship of modern consciousness to Nature and to our own inner natures.
