Blue Hour

All Our Relations: Seeing the Divine in One Another

Adina Arden-Cooper, Joshua Zamrin Season 9 Episode 72

In this episode of Blue Hour, Adina and Joshua explore how we relate—to family, friends, acquaintances, strangers. We discuss and how to meet triggers, dissolve spiritual superiority, and cultivate authentic compassion. This is an invitation to recognize the divine—light and dark—in one another, in ourselves, and in every facet of the living world.

Listen if you’re curious about: polarity and division, shadow work without bypass, family-of-origin dynamics, spiritual ego, nervous-system capacity, and practical ways to transmute judgment into love.

Key Themes & Takeaways

  • The outer mirrors the inner. Our judgments and contractions are invitations to tend the “garden” within.
  • Be with what is. Loving presence precedes wise action; fixing without presence is more resistance.
  • Relational dojos. Family and everyday encounters are where our practice is tested and integrated.
  • Parts belong. Don’t throw your parts “off the bus.” Give them a seat, a role, and your compassion.
  • Spiritual ego watch. Hierarchies of “more evolved” keep us separate; boundaries don’t require superiority.
  • All our relations. Relationship isn’t only human; honor the living field—stones, trees, clouds, machines—as sacred expression.
