Originally streamed live on YouTube, in this Q+A we dive into:
"Wherever you go, there you are" and what that really means
What is "ananda" or bliss in relation to reality?
Is there even a Now moment?
How realization isn't the slightest bit "spiritual"
How can we navigate social media without succumbing to mind traps?
Reactivity and how to recognize and uproot it
Is Doc Vader spiritual?
The nature of desire
Why do we hurt those we love MOST?

Awakening to no-self in the comedy of existence with my guest Eshwar Segobind. Listen to our prior episode here. Watch the video version here.
Eshwar is an emergency electrical contractor and tradesman whose realization and awakening journey began during a several week stay in an addiction recovery center. We riff in our native immigrant accents for a while on subjects not safe for anyone, and tie all that into realizing the nature of no-self, identity, emotion, and the integration into "real life" of all of this.
Learn more and sign up for a personal session with Eshwar here on his website and peep his YouTube channel.

Simon Brown returns for a master class on compassion and how it can never be separated from the deepest insights into the non-dual nature of reality itself.
We talk about how compassion and suffering could matter if this world is a kind of illusion, the distinction between empathy and compassion as it relates to burnout, dorsal and ventral vagal mechanisms related to deep trauma conditioning, the true meaning of Christmas and the holiday season and MUCH more.

Joined by Dr. Angelo DiLullo, your favorite ‘pair-o-docs’ dive into the paradox of self-emptying, where the journey to feeling truly recognized sparks a liberation beyond the boundaries of the ego. Plus a whole lotta taint talk 😂
Topics & Timecodes:
00:00 Taints (AKA The Perineum, if you're nasty)
06:12 Anger, reactivity, root beliefs, the illusion of control
16:52 Identity, no separation, energetic “knowing”
23:55 Deep stage awakening, the illusion of the physical world
31:35 The “flavor” of consciousness, unbound consciousness as a tool
41:19 Specialness, hide & seek, avoidance, neutrality
52:50 Emptiness of self, feeling seen
1:01:16 Fixations and the role of a spiritual teacher, delusive hindrance
1:12:29 Formless non-duality, no-self letting go, the well of grief
Check out the video version (including topics & timecodes) and here's the infamous 'Taint Episode' 🥳

Waking up to your true nature is all about realizing there’s no separate “you” suffering. And knowing just that transforms how you show up in the world. Spoiler alert: Compassion just flows. Video originally streamed LIVE to YouTube, watch here.
Side note: This episode contains intentional stretches of silence, so when things get quiet, rest assured it's not a problem with your podcast app 🙏
