EP386: Special Rebroadcast: Unraveling Ego at the Feeling Level

About this episode

The episode explores the progression of identity from gross thoughts to subtle sensations and the unraveling of ego at a deeper level.

There’s a progression that seems to happen. You might say it’s from gross to subtle. Where attention shifts from being absorbed in abstractions, thoughts, representations, and relationships…to attention moving to much more subtle energies like sensations, sensory input, and maybe something like intuition or perception. Identity is viewed in these different ways. From gross thought and beliefs being questioned, to more subtle physical and emotional reactions felt. As we sense at this more subtle level, the unraveling process seems to pick up some steam. Identity is seen through rapidly. Thoughts barely arise before they dissolve or fall away. Something like this is how the fabric of thought-based reality comes apart in the best possible way. *** I will be leading a Silent Retreat in Taos, New Mexico, February 22-27 . The retreat will provide a supportive space for you to steep in your essential being. You’ll immerse in what’s always here, unchanging, beyond the pull of thoughts, feelings and identities, in the absence of everyday distractions and conditioning. The retreat is small, so space is limited. You can check out all the details at…
