Unconditional Love for Friends, Strangers & Enemies
David Oromith · 30 minutes · recorded March 31, 2024
In the sky gazing meditation we observe thoughts and feelings as clouds passing through the open space of awareness, without judging or identifying with them. For Easter, David talks about love as a theme common to most traditions, explaining loving kindness and compassion as two sides of one wish, and the three categories we quietly sort people into: those we like, those we are indifferent to, and those we oppose. The discussion turns to what stops our love reaching further, and whether it should.
