"The cave you most fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." -Joseph Campbell

A conversation with Suzanne Chang (Suzanne Non-duality on YouTube) about awakening/realization and the dissolution of the sense of a separate self that could stand apart from life.

  • Spontaneous action post awakening and the nature of freedom
  • Intense emotion and stillness
  • Depression and “mood” pre-and-post awakening
  • Mind identification vs. truly feeling the body
  • Suzanne’s current experience of “emptying out” and the loss of the sense of a self apart
  • When the helper personality type becomes hurtful
  • Radical acceptance of how the body-mind IS
  • That final episode of BEEF
  • The role of surrender and total relinquishment 
  • David Carse’s book “Perfect Brilliant Stillness” and reality as hologram
