"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.

  • Holding emotion in the body and the energetics of allowing it to be expressed
  • Repressed anger and road rage (a personal story)
  • Is Zubin happy?
  • Our last dinner when Suzanne visited with my wife and me
  • (Insert dinner pictures)
  • My wife’s awakening shift, conditioning and reactivity
  • 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 
  • The primary importance of no-self realization (an energetic internal death) and going to the darkest places inside that intensify the seeking mechanism in the first place
  • The nature of shame and “brokenness”
  • Why the word “transmission” doesn’t sit well with Suzanne
  • And more!
