Tara, I have listened to you speak many times and your compassion comes through every time. You are amazing and we need more people in the world with your gift. You are truly a gift to the world. Thank you.
In my experience, when I'd do TM well it would creates many benefits ie forgiveness self acceptance sense of Beingness understanding who people are in reality and not upset when people make mistakes.
I rarely listen to Tara but this is the second time where she has attributed a quote to an incorrect source. The Rumi quote she references comes from ACIM.
lacey robb ~ Rumi existed hundreds of years before A Course In Miracles. Is it possible Rumi was original author of quote before ACIM? Correct origination is important but I still love the quote.
How is Tara Brach privy to speak at Capitol Hill?? What kind of connections does she have...I know that her parents were prominent in that circle..father an attorney etc.. But the Capitol ? The Senate?!! She comes from affluence I guess. But there are many other dharma teachers too ..hmmm
At 24:20 you suggested that white people fear losing their privilege, power, status. When you say this, you are creating an “unreal other” that has no basis in reality. Poor whites are overdosing on opioids and committing suicide in growing numbers and yet somehow they are “privileged”? How many Askenazi jews are overdosing on opioids and committing suicide? Poor whites send their children off to die in wars. How many Askenazi jews have served in the military? You are playing a dangerous game by accusing others of privilege when Askenazi Jews are at the very top of the genetic privilege hierarchy with average IQs 10-15 points higher than everyone else. The most consistent finding in the social sciences is that privileged social status is correlated with IQ. This explains why Askenazi jews rise to the top of so many hierarchies. Who is really trying to preserve their privilege, power and status when lies are told about racism being perpetrated by police against blacks when the data clearly shows that this is not true? Why would someone perpetuate such lies? Carl Jung said that when you can't tell why someone is behaving the way that they are, look at the consequences of the behavior and then infer the motivation. What possible reason could one have for encouraging poor people of one skin color to hate poor people of another skin color other than divide and conquer? Offering the groups who are more obedient higher status in return for their hating the more defiant amongst the underclass. This is not unlike how the nazis promoted some jews to capo status in return for their obedience in the concentration camps. Who is really trying to preserve privilege, power and status when Askenazi Jews like Susan Wojicki, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg and Sharon Salzberg (i.e. the powers at RU-vid, Google and Facebook) are openly censoring voices trying to provide evidence that this divisive narrative of “white privilege“ is simply untrue. The buddha said that speech which divides is unskillful. Speech that promotes concorde is skillful. Please stop sowing hatred of white people with this lie of “white privilege”.
