Are you one of those people that has watched yourself sabotage something that you know you want, and yet something in you is blocking it or even actively pushing it away? Why is it that when you finally receive the love, the nourishment, the care, the fulfilment, the success, the money, the attention, the connection that you want, having it is so threatening that before you know it, you're finding whatever way you can find to get rid of it? It doesn't make any logical sense to reject a beautiful opportunity, but you still say no. And you're watching yourself and you know what you're doing, but you can't stop it.

Why is sabotage so common in human beings, and why is it a cause of so much of our pain and suffering? And what could possibly be a solution to that? This is what we’re going to dive into in this episode.

What is Covered:

-How we normalise the pattern of sabotage in our lives

-Why sabotage is a blind spot and why we can’t stop it

-Survival vs. living and why we remain stuck in survival

-Looking at the pain and shame of sabotage from an ontological perspective

-What’s the alternative to sabotage

-Are you living to win or are you living to not lose?

I'm sure that this is not the first time you are hearing the word vulnerability. But most of the time, I don't think many of us know what it even really means, and how powerful and sacred vulnerability is.

Vulnerability is not just an emotion or a state of being, it is actually a gateway, a doorway into being able to connect with each other deeper. It is a space within the heart, within the space of consciousness and truth of human beings that allows us to connect universally with each other, with ourselves and with the present moment - all of which I believe is a universal longing and want.

So how do we go from the head into the heart to experience the state of sacred vulnerability?

What is Covered:

-Connection and disconnection - our greatest wants and greatest regrets

-Why vulnerability is the only gateway to experience deeper connection with others

-Original heartbreak and why everything begins and ends with the heart

-How sitting with the heart’s ache enables us to be more present

-Journaling prompt for exploring your vulnerability

This week’s topic is not an easy one. First, because it’s a significant blindspot to how we experience reality itself, how we experience ourselves and each other. And second, because it’s the root to some of our greatest attachments in survival, so it may bring up a lot of activation for you.

So we’re talking about the greatest human addiction of all - the human story. We human beings are storytelling animals, and the mind itself is a storytelling mechanism. These stories not only define how we think and know of ourselves, but they literally colour and give us our entire experience of our reality, the stories of our family, of our ancestors, of our countries, of love. So let’s unpack this great human drug that are the stories that run us.

What is Covered:

-Why we need stories and how they are connected to our survival

-How our attachment to stories block our longing for connection with others

-Whose stories are running us and how we absorb them

-Identification with stories and the illusion of identity

-The alternative to holding on the stories and why we avoid it

-The stories of countries and how they create our shared reality

-Why we can compare stories to drugs

-How we can begin to come out of this blindspot
