The Barbaric Impulse VI: How Do We Become Good? (The Purity Culture Trap, Part 2)

We all have a longing to feel good and pure, but the reality of our humanity is inner conflict and continual contradiction. We have dark and light impulses; we have tendencies to both generosity and selfishness. In this episode, we explore how we are changed from the inside-out: not through attaining through will power some level of manufactured purity, but in learning to hold all of our contradictions with acceptance and humility. And we explore practices to help us live into this flourishing life.
