In today's talk, Rev. Patrick calls us to connect with and own our entire being.
He touches on obsessive/compulsive behaviour and how to work with it, to find something more interesting to think about.
The talk then shifts to a discussion of Carl Jung's statement, "I would rather be whole than good." This ties in with the story of Beowulf, which is about diving into the depths of our being---where we're struggling, where we're challenged---and owning it. The re-owning of our dark aspects is an absolute, essential, ethical act. We admit to our weaknesses so that they become our strengths.
