Episode notes
Problem Is Listening To Your Mind
- The real problem is not the mind but that you listen to it and treat external events as the root cause of suffering.
- Awakening means turning attention inward to clean the inner mess rather than trying to fix the outside world.
Two Paths To Awakening
- Awakening can arrive via a high transcendent experience or by hitting a painful bottom that forces inner work.
- Either path motivates you to turn inward and address the internal causes of suffering.
Clean Your Inner House First
- Stop trying to fix the outside and instead take responsibility to clean your inner house by looking inward daily.
- Focus on changing your internal reactions rather than manipulating external people or circumstances.
