139 Intensity Without the Attitude is Your Awakened Radiance

Awakening Together, Relaxing into Happiness with William Cooper, Master of Theology, Licensed Professional Counselor

We have all experienced intensity. Unfortunately, often times it is because of layers of stress, problems, and difficulties. Yet it is that same intensity that is the intensity of Love, Peace, and Joy in Awakening....in experiencing our true Selves. There is only one intensity. Consciousness is like life giving water. It can be frozen into sharp edges such as an ice knife that can hurt. When it melts back into the healing flow of water it gives life. Likewise, Intensity without the attitude is Awakened Radiance flowing with its qualities of peace, love, joy and happiness. The overwhelming intensity one feels emanating through an awakened Being is the same intensity that we feel. Its just that ours is often twisted with an attitude of stress and theirs is not. Our spiritual practices are ways to let our maladaptive attitudes go. We keep the intensity and radiance and let the attitude go as we awaken. This podcast details deep letting go which is not recommended until you are ready. Our spiritual practices help us let go a little at a time in manageable ways. The most powerful way to listen to these podcasts is to start at 1 and work forward. Each is supported by those before.
Though I am a psychotherapist and these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, they are not psychotherapy. If the support and depth of psychotherapy is ever needed, please reach out to a psychotherapist.
