Homecoming

For him, Jeremy felt being in our society became a predictable, uninteresting program. Feeling he explored enough of it, deeply enough, to ascertain its makeup, he shifted his curiosity from somethingness, to nothingness.  What he found, was the stillness within, gave him an experience of life’s foundational dimension, like a dense void of infinite potential, a black hole. A subtle yet immense power, a profound yet simple richness, a wholeness so calming it changed his relationship with the material world. As he experienced this source dimension of what it is that we are, it became evermore appealing to return; through his spiritual practice. Like, sinking deeper into the ocean, or moving further into space; the charm was ever-greater liberation. In this episode he explains how confronting his conditioning in stillness is a necessary step on the road home to ourselves, before we might feel the texture of life’s source; even if they are but glimmers for what our nervous system is able to perceive. Then comes the most important aspect: integrating expansiveness into our waking state.     Contact: Jeremy would love to hear from you, please contact him on his instagram below with any feelings or thoughts. instagram.com/jezcarne facebook.com/jezcarne twitter.com/jezcarne This podcast is independent and funded by Jeremy, with the intention of giving something he deems valuable, to you.

Jeremy met Okyeame Kwame at Sadhguru’s Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore, India, where they recorded this conversation a few days after an immediate deep bond. Okyeame comes from the Ashanti warrior tribe in Ghana. He’s been a professional musician for 26 years, releasing 9 studio albums. Authored two books. Is a Father of two and happily married.   Okyeame shares how after becoming one of Ghana’s most successful rappers, he was confronted with depression, a deep rest that would become life changing. The mask he’d been given in society and chose to wear, had worn thin. He began to acknowledge and take responsibility for what was disturbing him: expectations, attachments… initiating a spiritual awakening. In realising the preciousness of his life, he started seeing all life as precious. Transcending his conditioning and becoming more inclusive. His concept of self, changed from being tribal, to universal.  The motivation that brought him huge success as an artist, he then applied to living spiritually. His approach to discipline: choosing to be choiceless. Leading him to feel free from society, rarely having negative emotions or judgements, moving from spiritual teachers to his inner guru, being a conscious family man, letting go of people sinning against him before it even happens, and much more inner richness.  Okyeame also describes some beautiful and powerful ancient African wisdom, from women leading the tribe, to the truth about the function of angels and demons.

During covid, Jeremy lived in Melbourne, Australia, which experienced the world’s longest lockdown. As for many in the community, the situation brought with it a great deal of stress. The world seemed to be going mad with fear, so Jeremy pulled back even further to disconnect from its energy and observe what was taking place.  He was fortunate enough to leave the city, surround himself in the natural world, and take a deep dive within. The intention being so that he might starve his compulsions and free himself of the binds of conditioning that were creating his stress.   A process began to take place while staying in the home of his beloved deceased grandparents, where he shifted his personality from being extroverted to introverted, so that he might feel less neediness. Did it work? Have a listen to find out. This episode was recorded sitting on the edge of the river Ganga in Rishikesh, India.

Jeremy returns to his podcast, after 2 years off.  We can all agree the last few years have taken a toll on us. The World Health Organisation predicts mental illness to be the next epidemic facing humanity. And having lived through many mental issues, Jeremy wishes to share his experiences and learnings in hope of helping others. Shortly after the pandemic hit, Jeremy moved to a home surrounded by nature and took a dive within, to commune with the deeper parts of himself and resolve the stresses that were coming to the surface. It was a very special time, settling further into stillness, as the world seemed to venture further into madness. He believes the ancient techniques of meditation and yoga, freely available to us all, are the best way to transcend instability rooted in the mind. In this new series, Jeremy playfully shines light on the heart-felt truths and pragmatic mechanics of our liberation; awakening to the power of what we are. Together, discovering gems of wisdom; the only ignition for true freedom.  Armed with this wisdom, we can directly experience a way home to ourselves; a home we all share within.   This new series will be called Homecoming, same podcast feed, new title.  In this episode, Jeremy reflects on his past 12 years. Discussing highs and lows of life-changing events that contributed to his own homecoming. But how do you know when you have actually come home to yourself?  How can we understand or map our invisible inner world? A place that determines our behaviour and yet we spend such little time being still enough to observe it without pretence. This episodes shares experiences and teachings that allowed Jeremy to familiarise himself with his ultimate nature. Recorded from the roof of beloved Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's house. Nestled in the town of Rishikesh, India; a revered place for saints and sages, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram sits at the feet of the great Himalayas.
