Except she wants Korean food. It\u2019s hard to accept American food. Is there a problem praying to Buddha AND Jesus? Sumi says, no problem! Sumi says one lie never stays one lie. It always grows. After driving solo across the country, traveling around the world, going on pilgrimage in Mongolia and Canyon de Chelly, Lobsterbird returns to her childhood home in southern NJ. She\u2019s been on a hero\u2019s journey. She has witnessed and experienced a lot of darkness. Her illusions of reality have been completely shattered. \u201cWho do I trust? What is it that I believe in?\u201d She felt at a loss, so she prayed. And the answer to her prayer was standing in the kitchen. The inimitable Sumi, who Sophia simply calls, Mom. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue Sumi says: Life is like a roller coaster. Nothing goes smoothly. It goes up, down, up, down. That\u2019s the rule. Can you make your life better? If you can make yourself better, yes. [5:40] A focal point of Sophia\u2019s pilgrimage in Mongolia was ancestral healing. Sumi says: Her heart still aches over what happened to her mother. [13:11] Sumi goes to temple and prays to Buddha. Sumi goes to church and prays to Jesus. Sumi says: What you believe is your choice. [21:50] How can you know for sure whether something is good? Sumi says: Pay attention to what is trying to help you vs what is trying to control you. [30:22] A 3-Dog Story... Sumi says: Every chance we get, we get better. You have to teach yourself good things and bad things to give yourself more and more growth. You can undo the bad that way. [33:30] Sumi sings to the animals to help heal them. Sumi says: I guess it\u2019s a prayer. [40:40] PRACTICUM! Pretend we are at temple. Close your eyes. Visualize. Sing the song. Eat some Korean food and take a nap. :) [44:54] Links and resources: Lobsterbird\u2019s new book: Level Up: Power Practices for Spiritual Superabundance by Sophia Remolde Previous episodes featuring the inimitable Sumi:Episode #4 Sumi in South JerseyEpisode #5 Sumi Shares Bonus Food for Thought Music for this episode was contributed by Daniel Munkus and recorded in the Hudson River Valley at Subtle Soup Studios.
