We've talked a lot about awakening and enlightenment from the perspective of Absolute truth (i.e. the ineffable, unchanging truth at the center of all manifest things). This episode takes on a more human approach, as Henry and Bird share their recent experiences with infidelity and the ways they've been hiding from each other in their intimate relating. We try like hell to wake up because we're secretly hoping to avoid all the things inside ourselves we hide or want to transcend, but that's not the way truth works. And we're finding that out first-hand through our relationship. We're not here to wake you up, to enlighten you, or to heal you. Our invitation is to come and see for yourself what's True. Welcome back to the void!

The "me" wants nothing more than to become enlightened — to come to complete knowing of all things, to become an elevated being, to be adored, to be the best version of itself possible. The "me" wants the enlightenment and it wants to be there to reap the benefits, but "enlightenment" is actually seeing through the illusion of the "me" and coming to live in that space. In this episode, Bird and Henry share the ways that their little characters have tried to have their enlightened cake and eat it too. We're not here to wake you up, to enlighten you, or to heal you.

Expansion and contraction is the seeming movement of life. But is this the way of things, or is this just the apparent reality when one lives in a state of duality and separation? In this episode, Bird and Henry share how the process of realizing Truth is actually the discarding of the concepts of expansion and contraction, but how from a dualistic perspective, freedom (which is really just a lack of contraction) feels like an expanded state.
