info_outline CEE Life Is Supporting LifeUndoTheEgo's podcast
What we think of as our own body is life being supported by other life, rather than something we "own". It's hard to separate our body out from all the other life supporting it. The concept of a separate "I" based on a separate body is false. Adding to the May 4, 2021 show. This show aired May 11, 2021.
info_outline CEE Life is Living UsUndoTheEgo's podcast
This is a radical concept that can be hard to hear. It can also be very effective in helping to let go of the ego. What if it were true - that life is living us - meaning there isn't an ego, and there can't even be an individual I? This show aired May 4, 2021.
info_outline CEE Letting Go of the Physical WorldUndoTheEgo's podcast
It's a difficult thing to do! Changing how we look at just one principle - that the physical world is strong than we are and controls us - makes a huge difference.
info_outline CEE Direct Experience Greg GoodeUndoTheEgo's podcast
Looking again at the experiences we have and how they are more created by the mind than the body's senses - our mind tricks us into thinking our senses have told us about the world.
info_outline CEE What Is The Body For? Feb 9 2021UndoTheEgo's podcast
One of the mysteries of life is the question: what is the body for? We have numerous uses for the body, but spiritually speaking, what is the purpose of the body? Do any of the commonly offered explanations ring true?
info_outline CEE Non Duality Part 2UndoTheEgo's podcast
A continuing of a hopefully simple explanation of non duality (not-two). A key part of our seeing the world as duality (many things) lies in the use of the body as our boundary between ourselves (me) and the rest of the world (not me.) But is this a valid way to decide that there is a me, separate from all else?
info_outline CEE Everyday Explanation of Non-DualityUndoTheEgo's podcast
Asked by a listener to provide an every day, "layman's" guide to understanding non-duality - a challenge! This is part 1, and it focuses almost entirely on understanding the role of awareness. Part 2 (planned for next week) will talk about the more abstract facets of non-duality, all of which come from the recognition of awareness. This is a non-scholarly attempt to explain non-duality from the inside out.
info_outline Direct Path OptionsUndoTheEgo's podcast
Even though the words, "Direct Path" imply there is ONE direct path to enlightenment, in reality there are many paths considered "Direct Path" with differing orders of magnitude of difficulty. Defining a Direct Path is not necessarily exact. There are many definitions. A Direct path usually has no Holy Text (but there are exceptions to that) and no church, ashram or sangha to attend (again, with exceptions.) A Direct Path is supposed to lead you directly to enlightenment - a quick pathway, but perhaps a hard path to follow. Without the support of a church or community, the seeker is...
info_outline CEE Touching God With AwarenessUndoTheEgo's podcast
We've learned (and chosen) to believe that we are limited, and these beliefs draw our attention away from our own awareness. In fact, without your awareness you would have no experience at all. The two are inextricably interlinked. Your awareness never changes, it never ages, it never grows tired. As such, it can be said to be eternal and changeless - attributes we also give to God. Your awareness is always there, ever-present - also like God. What happens when you become aware of your own awareness? By doing so, are you getting in touch with God?
info_outlineWe've considered the ego as a built up sense of self; in effect a psychological self and an illusion. Take this a step further. The ego is nothing more than brain activity. Basically, the ego is the mind thinking about itself and setting up what the minds thinks of as a person.
