In this episode, Sebastian Lyall explores one of humanity’s oldest and most profound questions: What is Self-Realization?

Inline with the traditions of non-duality, Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, Sufism, Christian mysticism, and through the lens of his direct experience, Sebastian examines the meaning of liberation, enlightenment, and Jivan Mukti, often translated as "freedom while living."

What does it mean to awaken to your true nature? Is liberation a special spiritual achievement, or is it the recognition of something that has always been present? Who is it that seeks enlightenment, and what remains when the seeker itself is seen through?

Through a clear and contemporary lens, this conversation explores the distinction between awareness and mind, the illusion of separation, the end of psychological suffering, and the possibility of living in harmony with reality as it is.

Whether you are new to non-duality or have spent years exploring the nature of consciousness, this episode offers a grounded and accessible exploration of what many traditions have called awakening, liberation, and the realization of the Self.

Topics include:

• ​ What is Self-Realization?• The meaning of liberation and enlightenment• Jivan Mukti: freedom while living• Awareness versus mind• The illusion of the separate self• Non-duality across spiritual traditions• Living from presence rather than conditioning• The relationship between awakening and everyday life

In this discourse, Seb talks about the nature of our beings and how the mental and emotional system keeps us away from the nondual reality of existence.

To understand healing, we have to understand what is happening in our mind and body. What is the loop which is running and why it doesn’t allow the energy we need to heal.

Sebastian talks about ego, healing and the story in the mind, this in this episode

How do the mind and body react and work on a path towards realisation the self.

Sebastian Lyall discusses.

Are we in a relationship with images we have created or we actually see beyond the illusion? It takes immense energy and focus to see beyond the veil of our own perception. Are we ready to do that?

Sebastian Lyall discusses this in this episode.

To understand anger, one's mind has to understand itself. It has to realise where is the disappointment is coming from, which generates a feeling of anger and hence a reaction which creates a loop and more of what you don't really want.

For this, the mind has to recognise the nature of ourselves.

What speaks in our mind? What keeps it busy so that we miss the very important details of life? Why knowledge can be a hindrance to intelligence.

Sebastian talks about this in the episode.

Understanding the nature of reality makes it easier for the mind to observe instead of judge.

Judgement leads to friction for you and for the other.

Acceptance with a deep understanding of the nature of reality leads to love, joy and peace.
