About this title

Synopsis:

A Sample Meditation: Loss on the Way to Enlightenment Avoidance, rationalization, religion, reality, projection, distraction Acknowledging that we often grow tired of the painful truth about poverty, illness, racism, discrimination, environmental ruin, and warfare, we confess that we have escaped through distraction using food, entertainment, alcohol, and personal isolation. We regret most deeply that we have fashioned religions to mask reality, often blaming our cruel indifference on a divine being of our own creation. Liberate us from the darkness of ignorance and call us, we pray, into the light of truth, that we may be partners in working for peace and justice.
