The wasteland, which is a landscape that some of us get caught in, is based on false concepts and beliefs that have been conditioned. For example, “life is hard,” “life is a struggle,” “you have to fight,” and so on. In this episode, Amanda and Alex explain that if the landscape is populated with those ideas, we feel like everything grey—along with some flukes of brightness.

Today’s discussion involves:

·      Our capacity to see that the world hasn’t actually changed, rather the way that our mind identifies it has.

·      The false idea that we have to exert force on the world to make things happen.

·      Signs that you are in a wasteland.

·      Looking for truth in concepts because we are so oriented towards them as our navigation system.

·      Examples of different concepts and where the wasteland feeling originates from.

·      Admitting you don’t know what’s going on.

·      The subtlety of the wasteland, which causes us to not see it sometimes.

·      Catching on to the mind’s contradictions in it’s narrative and the big payoff.

·      Why the wonder land is not exclusive from the experience of the wasteland.

·      Real catastrophes happening in the world and how our mind separates us from them.

·      Resistance that occurs when trying to apply logic to certain situations.

·      Fear and worry’s transformation in the wonder land.

·      Noticing that doing happens, regardless of who takes ownership of it.

·      How do we find the wonder land more in our day-to-day?

·      Playing around with the paradox of the wasteland being immersed in the wonder land.

·      How to answer the question of “if I’m not me, who am I?”
