Letting go of your violence

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:04.244
I always urge people to just try
to keep monitoring what's going on

2
00:00:04.269 --> 00:00:06.637
reflecting why you do what you do

3
00:00:06.662 --> 00:00:09.482
and letting go of your violence,
your anger,

4
00:00:09.507 --> 00:00:11.998
your hurt, your wounds,
your bitterness,

5
00:00:12.023 --> 00:00:14.059
all the roots of violence within you,

6
00:00:14.084 --> 00:00:16.989
and cultivate a place of peace
and nonviolence.

7
00:00:17.014 --> 00:00:19.164
By the way,
it's much better to live like that.

8
00:00:19.189 --> 00:00:22.494
Well, to do that you need
in my opinion God

9
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:27.713
or at least a spiritual practice of
meditation, solitude, and quiet time

10
00:00:28.426 --> 00:00:30.622
where you can really take
a deep breath,

11
00:00:30.647 --> 00:00:33.602
you know, let what's going on
inside of you come up,

12
00:00:33.627 --> 00:00:36.366
and look at it, be at peace with it,

13
00:00:37.292 --> 00:00:41.507
you know, as a Christian let the risen
Jesus give you the gift of peace

14
00:00:41.532 --> 00:00:45.802
or allow God to disarm your heart
of the roots of violence within you

15
00:00:45.827 --> 00:00:48.522
things like that.
I find that very helpful.

16
00:00:48.547 --> 00:00:52.643
We want to radiate personally
the peace we seek politically.

17
00:00:52.668 --> 00:00:57.857
We want to practice the peace
we want the world to institutionalize.
