- Have you ever struggled with a bad mood? Ever felt like you’re in a pit of despair, and wanted to change it?
Often we search to improve a bad mood. But what would it be like if you didn’t have to do that? What if peace was available in the middle of any emotional storm?
If you had to choose between being joyful every moment of every day, or being at peace with what’s arising, what would you choose?
Intro music is by Jonas and Maeve's classmate Franz Peters and his band What Matters the Most, song title “Mahaya." - Do you avoid saying ‘no’? Are you hiding behind ‘yes,’ but you’d rather say ‘no’?
A false ‘yes’ often conceals an unexamined emotional pattern. When half-hearted affirmation shows up, it creates a limitation on yourself. It is an expression of ego.
What would you have to put down to tell the truth?
Today we invite you to examine your invisible reasons for giving a false yes. Then, we invite you to be wholehearted and honest instead.
Intro music is by Jonas and Maeve's classmate Franz Peters and his band What Matters the Most, song title “Mahaya." - What’s the difference between knowing about awakening, and being awake?How much do we need to know about freedom, to be truly free?
We have many words for spiritual concepts, such as peace, enlightenment, or freedom. It’s tempting to think about these ideas as a way to deepen in ourselves.
However, when are speaking about being awake, any concept is a trap. Being awake is an experience without words, bigger than thought or definition.
So how can you truly discern when you’re trapped in an idea of freedom, versus when you are actually free? How can we transcend all concepts? Spoiler: it’s simpler than you think.
Intro music is by Jonas and Maeve's classmate Franz Peters and his band What Matters the Most, song title “Mahaya." - Life is full of disturbances that seem to interfere with peace. Emotional reactions, stimulus, and self-judgment all impact the way we experience the moment.
What could it be like to face emotional reaction without any self-judgment? What if nothing gets fixed, changed, or judged better - but self-judgment itself gets some attention.
What is at the core of self-judgment, when we stop avoiding ourselves through it?
Today we dive into the core belief “I am bad,” and face it directly.
Intro music is by Jonas and Maeve's classmate Franz Peters and his band What Matters the Most, song title “Mahaya." - Does waking up mean you never experience a challenge or trigger again? When you’ve had an experience of being truly wide open, that state might feel challenged as time goes on.
Maybe you’ve felt freedom and unity, and wondered, what does it mean to be in a separate individual body? What does it mean when a trigger shows up?
Today, find out today what it takes to sustain contact with the truth. What is required to be eternal silence, when living in this human form? How can you maintain contact with what is real?
