BEYOND FEAR BY AWAKENING LOVING-KINDNESS   Ron Alexander                            
      Self-Acceptance (First Week)

The Essence of our Being is Love

BEYOND FEAR: “Part of the process is self-acceptance, and as we work with each principle of attitudinal healing, and make it our own, we will truly experience that the essence of our being is love. This is what the work of racial healing brings us to –the center and core of our being.”  P. 170

As I have written before, I believe (no, I know), that starting off with a strong sense of self-acceptance will enable us to experience more quickly that place of healing oneness. With that in mind, please read Sara’s story page 173 to 178 for the first class. ‘In that moment, I knew that we are all born completely free from all prejudice and racism, and that we are all inherently good and noble people. We are born open and responsible and clear thinking, seeking knowledge and connection to others because that is our reality. In reality we are all one. We are all connected. Humanity is one.” P. 176

AWAKENING LOVING-KINDNESS starts off with self-acceptance, so please read to page 23. In AWAKENING, Chodron writes “In meditation”…”you would probably see that you do all those things for which you criticize all those people you don’t like in your life, all those people you judge. Basically, making friends with yourself is making friends with all those people too, because they come to have this kind of honesty, gentleness and goodheartedness, combined with clarity about yourself, there is no obstacle to feeling loving-kindness for others as well.”(p.5, 6)
