Status Updates From Radical Dharma: Talking Rac...

"Because by definition it can never be static; to be radical is to constantly live in the territory yet undiscovered, the liberation yet unknown."

"To embody that truth is to live beyond the limits of self-reinforcing habits, which take the narrative of the past, project it onto the future, and obscure the present, leaving us to sleepwalk in the dreamscape of other people’s desires and determinations."

“It’s not all About love” gives voice And shape to many ideas that I’ve glimpsed and aspired to clarify, but which have lingered in the mist just outside of my field of view. I loved it. 😉

“When I hear folks distrust of healing, especially in marginalized and traumatized communities, I hear the subtle and nuanced working of internalized depression that distract us from imagining liberation that is not about struggling against systems and regimes but about transcending the trauma of struggling and residing in the nature of who we are as people who can be psychically free though physically bound.”

“Dharma practice called my attention to the deepest of my investments in white supremacy and made me feel, without sugar coats, without apology or redemption, how deeply destructive it is to live in the afterlife of slavery as the embodied and constant reminder of the unexamined trauma of the white experience.” (P. 18)

I have so many highlights. ♥️
