Awakening: Why We Waited 150 Episodes to Talk About It
About this episode
Brett and Joe discuss the concept of awakening and its implications in personal development after 150 episodes.
Awakening is one of those words that gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean? In this episode, Brett and Joe finally tackle the topic head-on after 150 episodes of addressing it indirectly. They explore why awakening isn't a goal in the Art of Accomplishment work, what actually happens when people wake up, and why it might be both far bigger and far smaller than you imagine. They discuss: - What awakening actually is (and isn't) - Head, heart, and gut awakenings, and how they differ - Why making awakening a goal can slow down the process - The myth that awakening is a finish line - How meditation can be a path to enlightenment or a tool for dissociation - Why awakened people still have daddy issues - What to do if awakening catches you off guard
