Awakening: Why We Waited 150 Episodes to Talk About It
About this episode
Awakening is one of those words that gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean? In this episode, Brett and Joe finally tackle the topic head-on after 150 episodes of addressing it indirectly. They explore why awakening isn't a goal in the Art of Accomplishment work, what actually happens when people wake up, and why it might be both far bigger and far smaller than you imagine.
They discuss:
- What awakening actually is (and isn't)
- Head, heart, and gut awakenings, and how they differ
- Why making awakening a goal can slow down the process
- The myth that awakening is a finish line
- How meditation can be a path to enlightenment or a tool for dissociation
- Why awakened people still have daddy issues
- What to do if awakening catches you off guard
Resource Mentioned:
