“What’s important when exploring our vision is that we understand the difference between aspirations and expectations in the realm of spiritual training. Expectations, particularly of ourselves, are often unrealistically high. Like a reverberating echo deep in our psyches, there is often a voice that says with a tone of sadness, anger, or despair, Not good enough. Still not lovable. Something’s wrong with you. You are so broken. This “mood of unlove,” as transpersonal psychologist John Welwood dubbed it, is sometimes so deep-seated in the unconscious that we stopped noticing it long ago.”
