thought occurred while overhearing Chris Reck's bit here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-_oMYIb2ds
sensitivity a gift, not a flaw.

when someone complains of something causing harm, wiser to heed their warning than abuse them in hubris and ignorance for being "weak".

The founder of Subud, Bapak Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwijojo (Bapak), explained that the latihan is a method of #worshipping #God that is open to #all #mankind and whose source is the power of God.

The practice of the latihan involves voluntary #surrender to the power of God. After quietening one’s thoughts and desires, one makes the intention to worship only God, who has the power to reach and move a #human #being from within, without any external means. This power is the #source of the #latihan. Once in such a quiet state, one may feel spontaneous vibrations or movements that derive from #divine #grace. By willingly following these movements, one can #experience a #worship #free #of #thought and #desire.

A quotation from Gracián, Baltasar

The greatest of sages can commit one mistake, but not two; he may fall into error, but he doesn’t lie down and make his home there.

[En un descuido puede caer el mayor sabio, pero en dos no; y de paso, que no de asiento.]

Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 214 (1647) [tr. Maurer (1992)]
