Episode notes
Control Arises From Defensive Separation
- Pulling back into a separate, defensive self creates a sense of control rooted in separation and not-okayness.
- That planned, delayed doer is based on beliefs, doubt, and a perceptual filter that keeps you out of present participation.
Use Presence To Collapse The Delay
- Notice when your sense of self is delayed or on a perceptual filter and bring attention back to presence.
- Use awareness of that delay to shift from planning-doer mode into immediate participation.
Participation Replaces Doership
- Full participation is immersion where there's no gap of doubt or anticipation between you and experience.
- It dissolves the doer/not-doer debate and reveals experience simply experiencing itself.
