Next Episode: Ep. 29: The Grandeur of Being vs. the Grandiosity of Ego
In this episode: At some point in our practice we must address the inevitable question that has confounded human beings since the beginning of time: Who am I? — or, more accurately, What am I? Having long conceptualized ourselves in terms of a particular collection of egoic structures, we sense something more spacious, stable, and omnipresent calling, and we long to know ourselves as It.
The question feels unsolvable at first, but as yogis we can learn to discern between the movements of ego and exquisite attributes of our Divine true nature. In this episode we explore the transition from egoic identification to Self-embodiment. We hope this speaks to you deeply.
