Episode notes
Trance of Unworthiness
- We often dislike our perceived selves because we sense a deeper, truer self.
- This "trance of unworthiness" stems from identifying with superficial coverings, not our core essence.
Golden Buddha Statue
- In Sukhothai, a plaster statue concealed a golden one beneath.
- This symbolizes how we hide our true selves behind protective layers, forgetting our inner "gold."
Waking Up From Trance
- Recognize your trance of unworthiness and use RAIN (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) to address it.
- After RAIN, reflect on the experience to recognize your compassionate awareness as your true self.
