Episode notes
Experience Is Created From The Inside
- The Three Principles frame all experience as created from within by thought, consciousness, and universal mind.
- Realizing this inside-out nature shifts people from blaming external circumstances to noticing their own thinking.
Verify The Understanding Yourself
- Don't take the teacher's word; check the understanding for yourself through direct experience.
- Look for the inner sense of wholeness rather than accepting claims intellectually.
Trauma's Power Is In The Remembering
- Traumatic past events cause present suffering only when replayed in current thought and memory.
- Shifting how the past is held can relieve longstanding trauma-related distress quickly.
