Episode 204: These Dark Times
In episode 204, These Dark Times, Elizabeth explores the process of finding courage in the face of adversity. “It is only through looking life squarely in the face,” she says, “that we find liberation.” She reminds us that this world we try so desperately to secure, doesn’t ultimately lend itself to trustworthiness, and that, our relentless attempt to secure it, defines “samsara." Elizabeth suggests that there is another way of being in life that is empowered and courageous. However this approach, ironically, relies upon our ability to accept the frailty and poignancy of being human.
