In this episode, I lead off by acknowledging the death of a dear friend and former supervisor of mine, Valerie LeGrand. Thank you for everything you taught me in the realm of person-centered human services, fiscal responsibility, and much more. My hat is off to you, your work ethic, and the legacy you built. Huge loss for the world. We will always miss you, Val.
As the episode unfolds, I intended to provide a brief rundown of some key terms for listeners to keep in mind because the book explores these terms from a conventional lens of where we can apply their relevance today. Terms like Tao, Wu Wei, and Zen. Some of which you may have heard before. But I wanted to unpack these terms as a means of broadening the horizon of the Western worldview so as to step outside of our misconception regarding the forces of nature at play when we consider how our mental health is a symptom of deep insecurity.
As beings that participate in a lived-experienced world, we must come to terms with the fact that our insecurities are part of an arcane confusion and a lack of accepting who we are that dates far beyond our documented human history.
By recalling insights from the longtime forgotten Eastern philosophies of the above-mentioned terms, we can begin to heal our psychological pain and simply learn how to perceive ourselves and our world without all the judgment and the attachment to the outcome.
This segment closes out chapter one of the book, Relating to Autism. I look forward to sharing chapter 2 with you guys in our next episode, which explores the neuroscience of cultural conditioning, relationships, and the fear-conditioned response in general.
