Limits To The Leadings Of The Light

1993 Weed Lecture

BY HUGH BARBOUR
"After talking about leadings, and about the validity of intuition, I go on to put leadings into the larger setting of ideas on ethics, then to discuss our sense that God is the source of our leadings, and finally to look more carefully at three major limits to leadings of the Light." "The three major limits or confounding factors in discernment which he explores are (A) the limits of our culture and times, (B) 'the ambiguity of the ego,' and (C) the tensions that arise from our calling to be perfect, when we know we are imperfect. Hugh's reflections on these matters are careful, acute, realistic, and challenging." - Brian Drayton
