250828 What I learned in my studies this morning 5

Today's Meditation(s):

The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh (ed. by Melvin McLeod), Darkness Becomes Light

Another repeated passage....

Understanding, not opposition.

Integration, not destruction.

It's hard to switch, though. Growing up in a competitive world, it seems so natural to approach these states as an enemy to be overcome rather than a prodigal son to bring back into the fold.

Time to unlearn this.
