    Speaking from Silence Episode 14: Dealing with the loss of awakening

    18/03/2026 | 21 mins.
    Have you had an experience of deep realization, and somehow lost contact with it? This conversation is for you.
    It can feel like a rollercoaster: First, there’s an experience of deep, peaceful truth, and then time passes and it seems to disappear. There might be a sense of loss, failure, or wanting to get something back. We call this ‘deflation,’ and it is a wonderful teacher.
    Where did realization go? How can you get it back?
    When we learn to recognize the movement of ego trying to take ownership of direct realization, we can discern enough to stop doing that. This awareness of ego is a pathway for true integration and continued awakening.
    Direct contact with the truth is always here, and requires only your quiet attention. Listen in to hear how it works.
    Intro music is by Jonas and Maeve's classmate Franz Peters and his band What Matters the Most, song title “Mahaya."

    Speaking from Silence Episode 13: The healing of no effort

    04/03/2026 | 18 mins.
    How is it possible to lead a surrendered life? What does “rest” even mean?
    Maeve speaks through an unwanted body experience to share a transmission of surrender.
    Are you trying to heal something? What if this conversation could hold a healing balm just right for you?
    When we don’t touch the urge to “do” something, we can truly meet what is needed. We can care for the body and have space to care, or do what’s needed.
    Intro music is by Jonas and Maeve's classmate Franz Peters and his band What Matters the Most, song title “Mahaya."

    Speaking from Silence Episode 12: Living Free from Ego Inflation

    18/02/2026 | 25 mins.
    Sometimes it can feel good to believe “I’m so great.” Egoic inflation is a natural way we try to be “good.”
    How can awareness of this egoic movement reveal the truth of awakening?
    Today we investigate the ego’s habit of performing “I am good.”
    How much effort are you applying to be inflated in your life? Is it giving you what you want?
    Listen in and find out how the core belief “I am aware of quiet” is different from “being” awareness, “being” quiet.
    *This episode includes a relaxing exercise at the end. Give yourself space to rest and receive.

    How can you really know what’s true? What does “knowing” have to do with being in the flow of life? 
    Jonas shares a reflection about knowing – and not knowing – from his awakening experience at a recent retreat with Gangaji.
