Jack reveals how awakening your Soul Force—your inner strength, wisdom, and compassion—allows you to heal the world by offering your unique gift with courage and love. This Dharma Talk from 12/7/1992 at Spirit Rock Meditation Center was originally published on Dharmaseed. In this episode of Heart Wisdom, Jack mindfully explores: *Uncovering your unique gift and bringing it to the world *Simple reflections of love amidst the reality of death *How the sword is always beaten by the spirit *Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's "Soul Force" *The power of facing our fear of death *Becoming a Spiritual Warrior of compassion *Cultivating the confidence to face any challenge *Speaking up for what matters to your heart *The cause of evil and how to stop it at it's root *The cause of abuse and how to stop it at it's root *Learning how to respond to the suffering of the world *Discovering freedom in yourself and the world around *Cultivating the ability to face ourselves, our pains and sorrows *Facing the truth of birth and death *The revolutionary act of connecting with nature *Connecting with the truth of the world *Bearing witness and finding your heart's unique response *Entering the world with freedom and love *How each and every action counts *A charming and funny Q&A section *Chanting the mantra, "Ah" "Each of us has our own unique gift to bring when it's the right time. It can't be an imitation. You can't do it like Gandhi, Mother Teresa, or whoever you might admire—it has to be your way." – Jack Kornfield ================ Jack Kornfield on Awakening Soul Force to Heal the World- Heart Wisdom Ep. 282 - https://youtu.be/olPlpzjfQLQ Jack Kornfield – Heart Wisdom – Ep. 282 – Awakening Soul Force: Healing the World Through Your Unique Gift - https://beherenownetwork.com/jack-kornfield-heart-wisdom-ep-282-awakening-soul-force-healing-the-world-through-your-unique-gift ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
