Self Talk #134: Building Your Foundation of Self—The Tool of Awareness 18:07

13天之前18:07

18:07

Send Rachel a text message. You are awareness. Awareness is another name for you. Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it. All that you have to do is to give up being aware of other things; that is, of the not-Self. If one gives up being aware of them then pure awareness alone remains, and that is the Self. —Ramana Maharshi We continue our series on the Foundation of Self with the primary tool: Awareness. Awareness offers a pathway to understand both our conscious mind, behaviors, emotions, and our deeper universal connection to everything around us. • Awareness is the conscious act of placing our attention on something with metaconsciousness • Differentiating between the two selves: the small 's' ego self versus the capital 'S' true Self • Body awareness (interoception) helps us feel sensations and emotions rather than just thinking about them • All beings share the same universal consciousness, supported by concepts like quantum entanglement • Awareness helps detect when we're out of alignment so we can course-correct without judgment • The small 's' self speaks from fear while the capital 'S' Self offers compassionate perspective • Integrating both selves creates "Zorba the Buddha" – being fully human while maintaining spiritual awareness • We are generators of energy who create our world through how we choose to live in it Here's the link to the free download of Ramana Maharshi's book, Who Am I?

Send Rachel a text message. For the wakeful, one whose mind is quiet, whose thoughts are undisturbed, who has relinquished judgment and blame, there is no fear. —Buddha Today's talk continues the deep dive into Foundation of Self work with an in-depth review of nonjudgment, the lifeblood of this inner work. We explore why humans judge (the need for safety), the different types of judgment (appearance, sociability, morality), and how judgment often stems from survival instincts and projection of our own hidden aspects.

Send Rachel a text message. Asking yourself deeper questions opens up new ways of being in the world. It brings in a breath of fresh air. It makes life more joyful. The real trick to life is not to be in the know, but to be in the mystery. —Fred Alan Wolf You asked for more solo episodes, so here we go! For the next few episodes, I'll share a deep inner work process called the Foundation of Self. In short: When you have a strong foundation of self, you can manage life’s challenges with grace. You have the stability to know who you are, what you want, and your calling in this life. You stop doubting yourself and seeking external validation. You begin to see that your life is an essential part of the whole of existence and that all life around you is family. Today's talk is a brief introduction to inner work—and how your individual life plays a vital role in the well-being of all around you. Have a question? Comment?
