Welcome to lesson six, the last module of the class on deconstruction and healing. Here, we focus on what it means to move forward with a full appreciation of all that it means to be human. Flexibility is key. It is the polar opposite of the rigidity of dogma. You are at the mercy of the constraints only of the natural world, and frankly, those limits keep getting pushed back as we collectively explore how nature contains far more than the imaginings of our ancestors.
This journey may mean struggling with disparate ideas. It may mean wrestling with contradictions and learning to be ok with “I don’t know” being a temporary answer. That’s the freedom that a humanistic appraisal of the human experience gives us. A freedom of responsibility, a freedom of connection, a freedom of discovery.
I’m glad you’ve been a part of this journey with me, and I hope you’ll continue learning and sharing with me.
