Kevin Schanilec, an expert in breaking the chains of suffering, joins the speaker in this live podcast. They explore the unfolding process of awakening, recognizing triggers, sitting with uncomfortable feelings, reflections on fear and authenticity, faith in the true nature of reality, the illusion of control, surrendering to triggers, and reflections on the future and gratitude.

David Mc Donald, an expert in awakening and no-self realization, joins the host for a deep dive into these topics. They discuss the nature of reality, the challenge of expressing it, and the struggle of intellectualizing spirituality. They also touch on meditation, doubt, living in the present moment, self-discovery, resistance, emotional work, and the limits of language.

From a recent Facebook live episode. I discuss the arising of strong emotions during the realization "journey" and the deep knowing that the Universe, (or God, or whatever descriptor we use to point to the ineffable) perfectly holds us as this process unfolds. And the beautiful synchronicity that all traditions seemingly point at the perennial wisdom: that we are NOT who or what we think we are 🔥Full video here.

Zen teaches us that faith isn't blind; it's the knowing of our innate nature. Doubt isn't negative; it's the engine of inquiry that propels us toward understanding. Determination isn't force; it's the steady resolve to persist, harmonizing these traits for profound self-realization.
