08 Ep#501 How Pharisaism Blocks Healing Communion

Listen, Pharisee, the reason you're lonely, the reason God hasn't thrown you a party (Parable of the Prodigal), is because you're full of judgments that block communion within yourself and between you and the Father, so that you can't feel comfortable enough with Him to ask for a party. And if he threw you one now, in the state of Pharisaism you're in, you'd just condemn yourself for not deserving it.

As soon as we turn back to our inner child, as soon as we extend some sympathy, boundaries, and forgiveness, the Pharisee steps in to judge: "How dare you let yourself or them get away with that!"

Pharisaism is the wound of the world, because while the "sinful" have obvious evidence of their need for healing love, the Pharisee has his shit together, and therefore cannot see the dark, dead judgments inside himself that prevent healing communion.
