We start in the deepest of waters. :)
In this episode we dive into who we are and what Awareness is, all as seen through my interpretations of Non-duality (Advaita Vedanta), mixed with my experiences and other insights.
So, know that I am not a non-duality expert, but I can recommend a truly inspirational teacher. That is Swami Sarvapriyananda. Look for talks of his on Youtube. You will find many at the Vedanta Society in New York Youtube channel.
In this episode I received a question that has to do with who we are, what Awareness is, and what happens after death.
In the podcast I talk about the Holographic order and how it enables us to always learn more. This is why metaphors are so useful. If you enjoy metaphors you may enjoy my book "Non-Duality Illustrated - Unlocking the Bridge to the Formless". It talks about 58 existential questions and provides the answers in the form of metaphoric pictures as well as text, based on my interpretation of the teachings of Advaita Vedanta. You can find it in print or as an ebook or in a kindle version.
Let me know your thoughts. And do let me know if there is anything particular you would be interested in hearing in the future. You can message me though Instagram @basiasthoughts.

Welcome to my first ever Podcast.
In this episode you will get to meet me, Basia, and learn a little about my personality and interests. My personality type, INFJ, will take us into a short discussion on intuitive thinking and I will give you some examples of how I tend to think, so that you may know what to expect. Outwards it may appear as though intuitive thought has abrupt jumps but seeing the underlying pattern one soon discovers the similarities. This is where logical thought becomes helpful in consolidating the discoveries intuitive thought brings and creating an understandable presentation as well as useful tools.
As an example of seeming jumps I give you my connections between "Masculine and Feminine", "The latest Astrological Ages", "Motivation and Inspiration", and "Structure and Willpower". I also talk a bit about how my book "The Devil is in the Structure" is ultimately just one single pattern that I discuss in a myriad of manifestations.
Talking about what fascinates me I give you the examples of David Lynch's movie "Mulholland Drive" as well as a magnificent and multifaceted talk, in Portuguese, by Lala, which you can see here.
What interests me, though, is not just any pattern. My main purpose is to gain and share greater freedom, inner peace, joy, and the ability to express the greatest version of oneself.

From the publisher's feed
Basia's Thoughts is a podcast about what lies underneath things.
I follow patterns and unexpected connections through psychology, Bioenergetics, relationships, systems,…
Why do we react the way we do? What structures quietly shape our lives? What do meaning, beauty, love and awareness point toward? And can ideas from very different fields illuminate one another?
There are no tidy five-step answers here. Instead, I think out loud, question what seems obvious, and see whether looking one layer deeper leads us somewhere interesting.
Take this journey with me and with your questions and comments we will tread forth together, attempting to make sense of it all, or at least some of it. :)
