Discipline (Tool for the Spiritual Practice) - The Wisdom Path (The Jaguar & The Deer) - Episode 4

Join Angell Deer and Marita One Who Catches Lightning for an enlightening conversation in "Discipline, Skill for the Spiritual Practice." In this discussion, they delve into the often misunderstood concept of discipline, exploring how it's more than just a set of rules or restrictions—it's a path to aligning with your true essence.

 

Marita shares insights on the natural laws that govern all of life, from the cosmos down to the cycles of water and trees. She illustrates how discipline is mirrored in nature, particularly through the consistency of trees like the oak, which, without fail, grows towards the sun and nourishes the ecosystem around it. Through the metaphor of the disciplined oak tree, Marita emphasizes the importance of regular spiritual practices as a means to maintain alignment with one’s essence, regardless of the external circumstances.

 

They discuss the negative associations linked with discipline—confinement by societal norms, parental expectations, or academic pressures—and contrast it with the discipline needed to stay true to oneself and one’s spiritual journey. Discipline, as Angell and Marita describe, isn't about limitation but about committing to practices that enhance interdependence and connection with the world.

 

This dialogue invites you to reflect on how you engage with discipline in your life and encourages you to cultivate practices that support your spiritual growth and alignment. It's a call to recognize and honor the discipline inherent in life itself and find your place within it.
