Episode notes
Intellect Reflects Pure Awareness
- The intellect (buddhi) is the mind's capacity to reflect pure awareness and discern truth from illusion.
- This reflective consciousness points to an absolute, unchanging reality that underlies shifting experiences.
Ego Is A Limited Narrative
- The ego forms a narrow personal narrative that treats transient life conditions as identity.
- That limited perspective makes us feel small, insecure, and dependent on impermanent things.
Discern Impermanent From Permanent
- Discern what in your life is impermanent (ego) versus the constant awareness that perceives it (true self).
- Use that discrimination to ground yourself in awareness rather than in fleeting objects and roles.
