Q & A on Vulnerability - September 25th, 2024

0:00 Introduction

3:36 In a group setting, does our capacity to be vulnerable effect other group member’s ability to express vulnerability? How can we develop our vulnerability?

17:12 It is easy to be vulnerable while at home with one’s deity, but it’s pretty scary to be vulnerable when you step outside. How can we balance our need for safety with our need for vulnerability?

33:46 Reflection on the relationship between authenticity and vulnerability in satsanga. And how without these two qualities of being is asatsanga.

39:37 Reflection on how devotional service is transformational and not just a matter of doing the correct things in a “text book” fashion.

46:16 Reflection on our capacity to be vulnerable as well as to receive others in their vulnerability.

52:11 Relationship between vulnerability and creativity.

55:31 Relationship between vulnerability and humility. Although they are the same thing, humility can be weaponized, and become nothing more than exploitation of someone’s vulnerability.

1:05:25 How can we discern whether or not our experience is real or if it is “speculation” or “nonsense”? Can we trust ourselves or do we always have to rely an authority outside of ourselves?

1:18:07 Why is liminality painful?

1:22:24 Is the inner authority Caitya guru or intuition?
