How do we reconcile with the evil that exists in the world? The masters all encourage us to go beyond, within. This talk elaborates on that. // Book quote from “Wake Up and Roar” by Papaji. // Namasté. SelenaSage.com // Email: [email protected] // Fb+IG: Selena Sage - Author

I share the true story of getting locked out of my house this morning at 5:30am and my efforts to get a spare key from my closest friend in town—while in pajamas! haha I was reminded that the power of our attention has the ability to greatly impact our life experience and how we create+resolve problems for ourselves. I’m thankful to have resolved the key problem (with special thanks to my friends!) and I was in tune with the ways I observed the situation—both internally and externally. This Observer remained calm. I am grateful. Namasté. SelenaSage.com // Email: [email protected] // Fb+IG: Selena Sage - Author

Discussion of poetry from my second book, “unbreakable” (on sale at zentaobooks.com ) led to a discussion of ultimate freedom, inspired by a talk from Sri Mooji (link: https://youtu.be/9Za9q1Zz6g8 ). Let go of you and recognize what you truly are to achieve endless peace and freedom. Namasté. // Shoutout to my Mom for always being amazing and MistaGoodBar for our awesome talk on The Remedy!

Recalling three different drives up the California coast from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and my love for Big Sur, National Park. Finding the beauty around you and taking time to enjoy it is the best. :) Namasté. SelenaSage.com // Email: [email protected] // Fb+IG: Selena Sage - Author

Rabi’a (717-801) is a Sufi Saint from the city of Basra in Southern Iraq. Trying to describe her remarkable life took me way beyond my usual time constraints! Haha There are many different accounts for her life and different poetry that is attributed to her. To me, this reflects Rabi’a’s profound influence of a great variety of people. To all, she embodies Love and that is enough. Her devotion to God shines through the poetry attributed to her and I remain inspired by the beauty of her devotion and strength. Namasté. // During this episode, I quote excerpts from two books: “Rabi’a from Narrative to Myth” by Rkia Cornell, and “Love Poems from God” by Daniel Ladinsky. // SelenaSage.com // email: [email protected] // Fb+IG: Selena Sage - Author

In this episode, we raise the level of our consciousness to watch the space where our thoughts, feelings, and emotions are arising within. We recognize our true powers of Attention, Identification, and Belief...and we use them to calm ourselves and create a world of peace and beauty. Namasté.

During this talk, I use the analogy of a full closet to discuss letting go. I wish I’d gone further to say that while we can push aside old clothes to make room for new ones, at some point the weight on the bar becomes too much and everything collapses. When we become too full of attachments, thoughts, and emotions, it can be too much. To make space for meaningful change, we have to let go. Becoming completely empty is the way to radical change. (Talk includes excerpt from “White Fire” by Mooji). Namasté. SelenaSage.com // email: [email protected] // Fb+IG: Selena Sage - Author

Starting with a quote from a tea bag, I share my spontaneous journey to create this podcast episode to illustrate the Taoist principle of “wu wei”—effortless action. I share readings from the books “Hua Hu Ching” by Brian Walker; “Tales from the Tao” by Solala Towler; and “White Fire” by Mooji during this talk. I also quote a parable from the NYTimes article, “A Meditation on the Art of Not Trying” by John Teirney (link: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/16/science/a-meditation-on-the-art-of-not-trying.html ).

Today, I read from from the incredible book, “I Am That: Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj” and discussed the Timeless in relation to a questioner’s concern about violence happening in the world. As true masters do, Sri Maharaj encourages us to look beyond the crumbling building at the untouched space and recognize our true Self as Awareness.
