Episode notes
Misuse of Spiritual Practices
- People often use spiritual practices to define their ego, like changing clothes.
- True spiritual growth is about getting out of the ego, not reinforcing it.
The Ego's Control
- Your ego constantly dictates your actions, thoughts, and worries.
- You identify with this inner voice because it's always present, mistaking it for yourself.
The Witness Within
- True spiritual growth involves recognizing the witness within, the observer of your thoughts and feelings.
- Awakening is realizing you are not your thoughts or feelings but the awareness behind them.
