This talk is about the courage to be true to ourselves and to be aware of two truths at the same time: the absolute truth that Love and Good are the ultimate realities of this Universe, and the honest truth that suffering, injustice, and fear are absolutely real in the human experience right now! Metaphysics without compassion becomes a cold, self-satisfied bypass. Compassion without metaphysics becomes exhausting, hopeless activism that burns people out because they think they're fighting the darkness alone with nothing behind them.
