Sept 9th: The Western Path
"The Western path, in turn, though excruciatingly difficult sometimes, offers the potential for breakthroughs that will fill you with meaning and contentment
to the point of bursting. You won’t have to subdue any of your natural dispositions—such as engaging unreservedly with the world of the senses, pursuing a life of purpose, honoring your personal dignity and self-worth, embracing past and future, regarding matter as symbolically rich, learning from life, and basking in the profound freedom of sacrifice—but leverage them. There is a Western path, and it is your nature-given birthright and heritage."
Themes for missing weeks to be announced soon!
