Ep. 30 | Justin Wren | Defeat Hate With Love

The Thought Room

11/09/20 • 191 min

Justin Wren is a heavy-weight mixed martial arts fighter, humanitarian, and all around incredible person.

Over a decade ago, the world got to know Justin through his successful career in the UFC – from starring in the Spike reality show “The Ultimate Fighter,” to becoming a dominating force in the heavyweight division, to his MMA record of 15-2. Today, the world knows Justin for the size of his heart and the amazing work he is doing in the world.

Following a six-year struggle with addiction and depression in his early career, Justin stepped away from MMA to seek out purpose and passion for his life. What he found was a forgotten tribe of Mbuti Pygmies deep in the jungles of the Congo, beaten down by economic enslavement, disease, and hopelessness.

Through his Fight For The Forgotten initiative, 1,500 members of this formerly enslaved people group are now free and flourishing on 3,000 acres of their own land with access to clean water and their own farms.

Today Fight For The Forgotten is working with a community of Batwa Pygmies in Uganda, supporting them with clean water, latrines, housing and agricultural tools and seed for farming, with the dream of them one day, in the not-too-far future, becoming self-sufficient, going from extinction to thriving.

Justin is an incredible story-teller, and has become a close friend of mine. His voice and his stories are exactly the kind that I want to be raising up on this podcast, and I am so excited to share this one with all of you.

How has our culture distorted our perception of death?

19:20 - How to Work with Darkness

Why are we so scared of the dark?
Creating rituals around darkness
Dissolving our preferences in duality to move toward unity
Setting boundaries with spirits to eliminate the vibration of fear

55:50 - Discovering our own Source of Safety in the Dark

Can we approach the world from a place of honor or observation without judgment?

1:25:28 - Pandora’s Box

What happens if we begin to open our personal Pandora’s boxes up?
What were things before we labeled them “dark” or “evil”? What if the things we judge as “bad” are only that because of the meaning we’ve projected onto them?
Does “pure evil” exist or is it a label we’ve given to something that is really charged and thick?
How do absolute truths impact our ability to ask questions?
