Summary

Part 3 - Forgiveness: Releasing Ourselves and Others from Aversive Blame (2019-05-29) - Rumi invites us to find the barriers we’ve erected against love, and a universal one is blame. These three talks are an invitation to relax those barriers, and to open our hearts to our inner life and to all beings. Part 1 focuses on chronic self-judgment; Part 2 on the places of deep self-condemnation, and Part 3 on where we have locked into anger, blame or hatred of others. Each includes guided reflections that can support us in directly awakening beyond the confining thoughts and feelings of blame.

Your support enables us to continue to offer these talks and meditations freely. If you value them, I hope you will consider offering a donation at this time at www.tarabrach.com/donation/.

With gratitude and love, Tara

0:57.0	And he said, damn that it's not just one car.
1:00.0	It's hundreds of them.
1:05.6	I always love that one because haven't we all had that experience of going around and wanting
1:10.4	to shoot arrows at everybody for the way they're misbehaving?
1:13.6	Like just piss at everyone, disappointed by everyone and then we realize there's one
1:18.3	common denominator.
1:20.3	Why?
1:23.3	So this is opening to what I'm considering as the third of a three part series.
1:30.5	It's been spread out over time a bit and it's unforgiving, releasing the armoring of
