032 The Brick Wall
Manage episode 442741386 series 2889369
This episode is called “The Brick Wall”, because we're talking about a dead end and a complete full stop to the wants and needs to secure which cannot be secured. And that’s the identity. Identity relies on the belief system of being a separate, controlling entity. It's the attempt to control the experience of being, to control what we think of ourselves and what other people think of ourselves. Every single want that relates to controlling the experience of being is a 100% unfulfillable quest. And yet, our entire lives are dedicated to fulfilling these wants, and enormous industries are dedicated to maintaining these wants in place in the guise of fulfilling them.
So today we’re going to unpack this wild goose chase that is securing the ego identity, and we’ll see how we can go in a different direction, other than hitting the brick wall over and over again.
