What's so bad about being human anyway? The shadow side of non-dualism
Description
The search for enlightenment through mindful separation of our thoughts, emotions, body and identity for many has created a form of spiritual bypassing.
A philosophy of oneness that does not embrace the vulnerable messy part of being human.
Transcendental meditative states can be wonderful and beautiful and can keep us from feeling and seeing the things we are try are avoiding.
In this episode I vent about my experience and frustration with the shadow of non-dualism.
- How it can cause feelings of shame about your experience.
- Why relief from the pain doesn't in of itself heal trauma.
- How becoming too polarized in trying to maintain a positive state causes what is suppressed to surface in other ways.
- Why following being with what is uncomfortable frees you up. Why we need both the spiritual and the physical human aspects of us.
This may give you a new look at what it means to be human.
