Description: Many people believe that walking a spiritual path requires us to get rid of our negative emotions. But, according to the mystics, everything is part of the Divine Play, including our emotions. What is really necessary, then, is not to rid ourselves of emotions, but to liberate them from the delusion of self.
In these talks, given during the 2009 fall retreat, Joel guides us through a series of meditations designed to transform our negative emotions into what the Tibetans call “Wisdom Energies.” By learning to experience our emotions nakedly, without the filter of thought, we can transform desire into compassion, aversion into clarity, pride into equanimity, envy into all-accomplishing wisdom, and ignorance into Enlightenment, itself. In this way, instead of hindering us on the path, our emotions become indispensable helpmates.
