E17 - Loving Yourself, Trusting Yourself, and Honoring Your Own Journey, Part 3

This is part 6 in a multi-part series that covers a 3-month workshop I did in 2019, called “a Campaign of Consciousness”.  It covers the second talk in the series, called “Loving Yourself, Trusting Yourself, and Honoring Your Own Journey”.  This particular segment continues to describe the various ways that love shows up in our lives to guide us through the awakening process.  It also addresses the themes of learning to trust yourself and why it’s so essential to honor your own journey.  It is my hope that it will help you shift the internal dialogue that you have with yourself about who you are, and offers you some alternative ways of seeing, treating, and experiencing yourself with greater tenderness.  To learn more about this podcast, about nondual wisdom, or about me, please visit https://awakeningintolife.com/.

This is part 4 in a multi-part series that covers a 3-month workshop I did in 2019, called “a Campaign of Consciousness”.  It covers the second talk in the series, called “Loving Yourself, Trusting Yourself, and Honoring Your Own Journey”.  This particular segment addresses the question ‘does your life really look like the life of someone who loves themselves?’ and begins to outline why most of us aren’t acting in loving, kind, or compassionate ways with ourselves.  It is my hope that it will help you shift the internal dialogue that you have with yourself about who you are, and offers you some alternative ways of seeing, treating, and experiencing yourself with greater tenderness.  To learn more about this podcast, about nondual wisdom, or about me, please visit https://awakeningintolife.com/.

This is part 3 in a multi-part series that covers a 3-month workshop I did in 2019, called “a Campaign of Consciousness”.  The first 3 episodes focus on the topic of “Tilting in the Direction of Awakening” which serves as an introduction to the series.  It talks about what an authentic spiritual awakening really is and why it’s so difficult to talk about (and to understand).  It is my hope that it will help you orient yourself to the true nature of the awakening journey and prepare you to receive what the rest of the series has to offer.

E5 – The Promise, Process, and Pitfalls of Obtaining Spiritual Enlightenment, Part 4

E5 - The Promise, Process, and Pitfalls of Obtaining Spiritual Enlightenment, Part 4
/

This is part 4 of the very first public talk that I ever gave.  The topic was “The Promise, Process, and Pitfalls of Obtaining Spiritual Enlightenment.  It was held in 2015 at a New Age/New Thought community and continues where the last talk ended.  This particular episode follows up on some of the things that I would likely say differently six years later.  I provide clarification on purpose, using the continuum of conscious awareness model, the ego as a curious paradox that gets a ‘bad wrap’, what the word ‘god’ is really pointing toward, taking responsibility even amidst the perfection inherent in the way of things, the role of trauma in the body and how it keeps us in our minds, and some deeper reflections on the ‘traps’ portion of this particular talk.

In my first podcast episode, I introduce the purpose of this podcast series and offer a description of the pathless path by using the “metaphor of the mountain” to help explain how the awakening process tends to unfold in three distinct stages.
