🌿 Show Notes — The Wonder Land, Episode 125: Edgeless Selfhood

In this episode, Alex and Amanda explore the way identity forms not from what we embrace, but from what we resist. What if the self isn’t a fixed thing, but a series of friction points—moments where we quietly say “no” to reality?

Together we trace the edges of personality as habitual preference, the commentary we mistake for selfhood, and the subtle ways we protest the unfolding of life. Through McKenna’s reminder that “half the time you think you are thinking you are actually listening,” we ask: what if presence, not preference, is who we really are?

✨ Key threads you’ll hear:

  • The Self as Resistance — how friction and tension shape identity.

  • Edges as Reaction Points — why each “not this, not now, not enough” reinforces boundaries.

  • Personality as Habit — commentary mistaken for a stable “I.”

  • Edgelessness — what dissolves when we stop insisting on shaping the moment.

  • Practices of Dissolving — pausing before labeling, releasing the need to “have a take,” and living into awe.


At its heart, this is a conversation about becoming edgeless: moving through life not defined by what we push against, but shaped by what we love.
