Anatomy of Pain - by Mark Weight

In this lecture, Mark Weight describes pain from a spiritual and esoteric perspective, and explores the subject from a variety of different angles. He reveals the ambiguous nature of pain and how it is inextricably bound up with pleasure. You will learn about the necessity of pain from both the mundane physical aspect of individual suffering right through to vicarious suffering for the sake of the planet. The two major astrological configurations related to pain are revealed and discussed in detail, with regards to individual and collective pain respectively. We also discover how pain is intimately tied into the second ray of Love/Wisdom. The myth of Odin is expounded in this respect, revealing even more fascinating esoteric truths.Throughout the lecture, pain as a path of initiation is emphasized, and the role of initiates and chelas in relieving the karmic pain of the planet is revealed.
