Help flows to us of its own volition…It doesn’t help the cosmos for a human being to fall apart and die and give up. The fact that we’re here at all is a consecration and we are sacred simply from the fact of being born. Because we have this chance to be a conscious pixel in form, and everything that ever brought anything to existence wants this little pixel to flourish.

Watch this lively and wide-ranging conversation with Cynthia Bourgeault and Rich Archer, host of Buddha at the Gas Pump (BATGAP), recorded live on February 6, 2021.
Included in the topics they explore:
- Cynthia illuminates aspects of the Imaginal Realm and other key insights from her most recent book Eye of the Heart: A Spiritual Journey into the Imaginal Realm
- How the work of showing up in ‘the laboratory of our lives’ impacts structures of awakening consciousness
- Reflections on forgiveness and love, as well as suffering, confusion, and pain as conditions that contribute to transformative new arisings
- And much more… (full topic outline available on BATGAP here)
A spiritual seeker that doesn’t dare to screw up is going to be far more a problem to God than one who screws up and returns for forgiveness and doesn’t despair, because then you’re still teachable. But the lack of risk-taking amongst those who like to call themselves spiritual, because they’re protecting their image, is I think a serious drain on the energy of integrity and vitality in the transformed being.
