In this episode we explore the aftermath of freeing oneself from the ego's tyranny and the shift in motivations. This post-awakening phase often begins with a sense of absence, known as the doldrums, where the deep inner calling from the true self has yet to fully emerge. While it may feel endless in the moment, looking back reveals a purposeful process of unwinding, rewiring, and rebirth.
The episode delves into the challenges and struggles of post-awakening, including detox, integration, and the absence of a manual for navigating this new existence. It emphasises the importance of trusting oneself and allowing life to flow through, embodying the raw and unfiltered human experience.
The concept of "epektasis," eternal unity with endless evolution, is highlighted as a beautiful aspect of life. The episode also explores the idea that relationships serve as crucibles for awakening, dispelling the myth that they hinder the process. We relate how our relationship a profound mirror and teacher on the path of Self-Realisation.
