Thank you so much for this podcast. This clear recount of personal transformation is a promise for everyone.
My family were both victims and survivors of the Holocaust. My mother's family was both Catholic and Jewish. My Catholic grandmother perished at the hands of Nazis. My beloved cousin was hidden and raised as an orphan during WWII in a Catholic convent and remained a devout Catholic and beloved family all her life. I have always believed in respect and appreciation for other traditions and religions.
My father, born in Salonika Greece, which had been overrun my many armies over the centuries, loved various cultures and I could never see that he retained hatred for anyone. What my mother, born and raised in Vienna, the daughter of a Catholic mother and a Jewish father, felt something that can't quite be called hatred. It was more like an iron badge of resistance and protection.
I feel an instinctual pain for other peoples who have suffered trauma. It seems to be a lesson humans are condemned to learn and re-learn.
I enjoyed speaking with Elias. What a great sharing that emphasizes the leaving of otherness outside the Zendo while embracing oneness. From that perspective you can go out & take action with a true sense of compassion & kindness.
While it will be interesting to hear the view of a Palestinian Christian during the 1st intifada, why not bring a Jewish Israeli resident to share his/her view of living during that horrible, violent time?
Not doing so seems to break the first tenet of ZPO, not knowing. It seem from here that you're saying "you already know" and have formed an opinion.

This panel discussion took place the day before our podcast was published.
