Lots of good stuff

Revisado: 03-07-23

I loved the revolutionary but intrinsic lessons lauded, instilled. I am saddened by the lack of guidance that our nation has in living life, not just being happy. I believe the body trust encouraged herein is beautiful. At the same time, the lack of guidance extends even to the authors in their inclusion of things against the blueprint of our being human, in the overly emphasized philosophy of acceptance; acceptance of posts to ourselves that really need redirection. I think that we need to learn about how to approach transgender and queer orientation. I don't think categorical acceptance is helpful. I empathize and care for that community, their struggle, their marginalization, their experience of being told similar things to this post followed or accompanied by aggression; and yet I also believe their true freedoms and happiness lie in something slightly different than undauntedly tuning in to that piece of their current self with agreement, without out hesitation, self analysis and higher value, or real truthful guidance. I do think truthful guidance is a possibility, a reality. Instead, the authors seen to encourage running with whatever people think and feel they need for themselves. But, though it's hard, and triggers in many if us anger and alarm to have to second-guess ourselves or to have self doubt, I think it's a healthy part to our quest in becoming or real selves. There are often difficult choices in life, tuning in to ourselves is vital, but it's often misguided and thus misunderstood, which the authors don't hesitate to throw under the bus. Blessings.

Soul over body, Spirit over matter, Tanya ch 32

The last chapter was amazing and I think should have been chosen for the preview.

The themes of this book ring very true and consistent with Chabad chasidic philosophy, which I give the credit for sending me on my feet, making me into a human being.
