Amor Fati

Amor Fati

Author: Centre for Spiritual Living, Edmonton May 13, 2018 Duration: 32:51
Parenting oneself---the creative process by means of each one of us---is never-ending. So it is today on Mother's Day that we celebrate the part of us that is the feminine face of God, because that is in fact the creative part of thought, the thought process that puts whatever ideas we might have into form. The idea from Stoicism known as _Amor Fati_ represents the [immense power of learning to love our fate](https://dailystoic.com/amor-fati/). _Amor Fati_ is to not only accept everything that life brings us---good or bad---but to love it, to embrace it, and to revel in it. It has all come for us, so that we can look at it and heal it, and not stay stuck. Epictetus said, "Don't seek for everything to happen as you wish it would. But rather, wish that everything happens as it actually will, and then your life will be serene."

Hosted by the Centre for Spiritual Living, Edmonton, the Spiritual Living Podcast Archive offers a quiet space for reflection within a busy world. This collection stems from a community that deeply honors diverse paths to the sacred, finding unity in the shared human yearning for connection. You’ll hear explorations that bless all teachings and teachers, recognizing that whether one lights a candle, faces the east, burns incense, repeats a mantra, lights a menorah, or offers a prayer, there is no wrong way to worship. Each conversation or talk in this podcast respects the multitude of ways to draw closer to Spirit, gently examining how seemingly different paths often lead to the same destination of peace and understanding. It’s an auditory expression of a philosophy that sees the divine in every tradition, inviting you to consider your own spiritual journey through a lens of inclusive wisdom. Tune in to find thoughtful perspectives that feel more like a meaningful dialogue than a lecture, all curated from a place of genuine respect and curiosity.
