Episode notes
Two Fundamental Human Forces
- Two fundamental forces operate within every human: self-preservation and a longing to become boundless.
- These opposing drives express as accumulation and desire, shaping most human behavior.
Identity Splits Inner Energy
- Identifying with something limited lets the instinct of self-preservation dominate and hide the boundless longing.
- Success in sadhana means aligning both forces so your energy isn't split.
Unify Your Forces
- Do not let identification with limited things create a tug-of-war in your system between building walls and breaking them.
- Integrate your longing to be boundless with your sense of self so your energy directs toward expansion.
