A great episode with Maggie Gilewicz around the misunderstanding of awakening, there was so much gold in this because it really looks like if or when we get this ‘understanding’ that I talk about on this podcast, that life should be a certain way, this podcast episode is about embracing being human.

Some things I heard:

A journey of embracing our humanness fully
Beyond the intellect
Giving up – to be able to see new
Living in Bliss – is it real
Is it always going to be like this
Now that I understand I should not feel…
Fighting the human experience
Pretending to be ok when you are not
Making up what ‘this understanding’ means
Being ok with not being ok
When I tell myself, its just a thought
Thinking I know stops me from seeing
Being ok with doing the dance
Knowing we are ok underneath it all
Beyond the story of me
Knowing that experience will pass
Having shitty experiences and having hope
When you have hope everything is always ok
Why ‘why’ questions are never useful
Allowing our feelings to come
The ocean is always calm, below the waves
When I embrace my experience the quicker it passes
Just do whatever occurs to you
Theres nothing to do, but you can do what occurs to you
Beyond the language and words
How humans relate and connect
Don’t try to be someone else
