🌿 The Wonder Land — Episode 134: This Little Thing


āø»


✨ In This Episode


What does it mean to ā€œclose the bookā€ on the little encapsulated self-idea?


In this episode, Alex and Amanda explore what lies beyond the identity we habitually defend—the ā€œlittle thingā€ we mistake for who we are. Together, they unpack the subtle tension between liberation and the mind’s resistance, the Yes, but… that keeps us circling back into old frameworks.


This isn’t about denying the self. It’s about seeing through its edges into something vaster—an awareness unconfined by story or definition.


They explore:

🌿 What it means to close the book on the self-story without rejecting it

šŸ”„ The familiar ā€œYes, butā€¦ā€ defenses that arise when freedom feels too spacious

🌊 How identity contracts around safety and control

šŸ’« The felt sense of dissolving beyond This Little Thing into wholeness

šŸŒ• This Conversation Is for You If


You feel ready to stop rehearsing the same self-narratives.

You sense there’s more of you than the roles, fears, and names you’ve worn.

You’re curious about what remains when the little self grows quiet.


āø»


šŸŒ€ Playful Invitation


When you notice the mind narrating your experienceā€”ā€œI’m this,ā€ ā€œI always,ā€ ā€œI neverā€ā€”pause.

Close the book for a moment.

What’s here when the story stops mid-sentence?

Can you sense the vastness that holds even this little thing with tenderness?

šŸŒ™ Closing Reflection


Liberation is not the destruction of the self—it’s the freedom to no longer confuse it for all that you are.


The book of you can rest, its pages complete, even as new chapters arise and fade.

Because the vastness you are has never been contained within its cover.


Close the book gently.

You are already written in everything.
