Today’s passage, “Aren’t We All Alcoholics?” In Dr. Shefali Tsabary’s newest novel, A Radical Awakening, she likens our addictions to attachments in society with that of the alcoholic’s addiction or enslavement to having a drink, which is only relieved by having a spiritual awakening, a purpose to live authentically without self-medicating in order to live a radical life in presence.Shefali writes, “We are all addicts in our own ways. We are addicts to our attachments, be it to our roles, relationships, emotional patterns, possessions, or beliefs.  Ask a religious person to let go of their attachment, and see what resistance you get. Similarly, ask any person in a conflict to give up their point of view and you will see the degree of attachment they hold” because they are holding on to their attachments in survivor mode.So how do we break free from our attachments? Shefali goes on to say, “To step out of survivor mode into awakened mode takes courage.  It requires that we dare to make the shift from being externally focused to being internally driven. This means we need to awaken to our inner knowing.  This takes practice.”The path inward for my spiritual practice is through silence whether I’m doing breathwork, meditation, journaling or being out in nature. It is through our path inward that we become full aware and in knowledge of ourselves.Khalil Gibran writes in The Prophet “And a man said, Speak to us of Self-Knowledge. And he answered, saying: Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.Contact me: megan@megancoaching.comConnect with me: Instgram.com/megancoachingMy website: megancoaching.com

Aren't We All Alcoholics? Dr. Shefali Tsabary and Kahil Gibran (excerpts)

A little bit of a public domain poem to help you through a rough day

The Prophet by Kahil Gibran. On Pain

Glenn Wallis

Kahlil Gibran’s 1923 The Prophet is a book that’s changed people’s lives. It is a deceptively simple book but it contains a radical insight. “Of what can I speak save of that which is even now moving in your souls?” What can a book teach us that we cannot know ourselves? I spoke with Glenn Wallis, a renowned scholar of Buddhism, author and teacher who has published The Dhammapada, Basic Teachings of the Buddha, and a Critique of Western Buddhism, and who runs Incite Seminars in Philadelphia. Uli Baer teaches literature and photography as University Professor at New York University. A recipient of Guggenheim, Getty and Humboldt awards, in addition to hosting "Speaking of…” he hosts (with Caroline Weber) the podcast "The Proust Questionnaire” and is Editorial Director at Warbler Press. Email ucb1@nyu.edu; Twitter @UliBaer.
