#016: Chickity-Check Yo Self (Before You Wreck Yo Self)

What happens when you spring a “light Saturday morning topic” like the nature of consciousness on your partner… with zero warning? Apparently: a little groaning, a lot of laughter, some Sanskrit (attempted), and a surprisingly practical path back to the body.

In this episode, we wander through a few verses from a 14th Century Buddhist text titled Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka (discernment between the seer and the seen), tease apart mind vs. awareness as Aliceanne wrestles with a question: “I understand this conceptually… so why don’t I feel it? Do I even really understand this?”

Along the way we pull in Alan Watts, Ram Dass, Rupert Spira, the Dalai Lama, Aristotle, and a very credible spiritual teacher named Taylor Swift (because sometimes dancing alone in your living room tells the truth faster than your thoughts do).

We also explore a grounded, here-and-now take on Christianity's "Second Coming”, the surprisingly life-giving practice of numbering our days, and why touch and presence might be more “mystical” (and more necessary) than any big peak experience. We close with an impromptu guided meditation on the idea of a “heart of wisdom.”

Note: This episode includes some strong language (Aliceanne drops an f-bomb once and awhile) and candid conversation about spirituality, mortality, and embodied practice. If you listen all the way through, congratulations—you’re officially one of our special people.
