Remember the last time you argued with your partner, friend or boss? Can you recall what you felt in your body at that time?

As a human being, you probably felt this full-body, mind-flooding force that gave you what to say and how to behave. It’s almost like you had been hijacked by something. That, my friend, is the full mind-body entanglement that gives us our sense of identity.

In this episode, I’ll dive into this design function that gives us our story, identity, and role in the world. I’ll also talk about what it takes to dissolve the veils of illusion that are colouring who we think we are, how the world appears to us, and, therefore, how we live in it. 

• The connection between the mind, body and identity
• The blindspots we all have as a species
• How your experiences shape your life
• How to silence the mental noise clouding your human experience
• The mind as a pattern recognition device
• Why survival mode is not the best way to live
• The root cause of all human suffering
• Uncovering emotions and thoughts through body sensations

Quotes

• “We don’t live in the experience of life. We live in the story and the meanings we make about the experience.”
• “Experience can only be experienced in the present. The moment you’re no longer in the present of the experience, the moment you’re no longer in now, the experience becomes a memory.”
• “Most people think that perceived points of threat are just like violent abuse. No. Not being able to communicate and be heard is an existential crisis for a human being.”
