Ash Wednesday Class: Renunciation + finishing Chapter 8

Hi Friends,
Happy Mardi Gras!  This Wednesday we will meet to finish up Chapter 8 (using worksheet 8.4) and discuss Renunciation, the bedrock of the spiritual path.
With gratitude,
Keith

"Renunciation in this instance is not just throwing things away but, having thrown everything away (or given everything up), we begin to feel the living quality of peace. This peace is not feeble peace, feeble openness, but it has a strong character, an invincible quality, an unshakable quality, because it admits no gaps of hypocrisy. It is complete peace in all directions, so that not even a speck of a dark corner exists for doubt and hypocrisy. Complete openness is complete victory because we do not fear; we do not try to defend ourselves at all."
