Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• Consciousness is understanding that you are “you are not your thoughts”.
• Two different types of flow systems:
  • Absorbed Flow State: Being so interested in a task, you lose all concept of time and surroundings.
  • Panoramic Flow State: Optimal functioning of complex tasks without thinking while being extremely connected
• The Ego’s function is to manage your own internal operating system. It is built on thoughts, feelings, sensations, and views to form perspective
• While effortless mindfulness is learnable and teachable, the concepts still remain inexplicable. The best we can do is to look inward and create perspective around interconnectivity.
  • Retraining your brain to think without a specific subject-object mindset is hard.
• Mindset shifts can happen because of how you identify, what you know, or what you perceive
• Big ‘H’ happiness which arises from unconditional love is more sustainable than small ‘h’ happiness which arises from finding pleasure or satisfaction.
