Episode notes
Identity As A Mirror
- Pete frames identity as a mirror: what we see in others reveals our own internal invitations to grow.
- He defines the deepest shared reality as beings of unconditional love rather than fixed labels.
Ride Criticism Like A Wave
- Stay neutral to external criticism and observe it rather than reacting emotionally.
- Use acceptance and presence (Pete cites surfing) to ride life's changing conditions without expectation.
Mind Your Words To Stay Free
- Watch your language: words shape your reality and emotional reactions.
- Avoid framing headlines as 'attacks' to prevent entering victim or perpetrator roles.
