The Adventures of Self Podcast

Shaping A New Consciousness - with Alex Boianghu


Listen Later

This week, Taylor takes an adventure with therapist and EMDR specialist, Alex Boianghu, a master of using compassion and awareness to help people process trauma and move on to brighter futures.

Alex talks about impermanence and how a revelation in his youth caused him to view life and time very differently, as well as the pillars of consciousness alive inside us all, the effects of environment upon the way we think, feel and live, and how we must embrace a new type of consciousness - one that will allow our lives to be experienced in far richer ways.

KEY TAKEAWAYS  

  • Nobody gets out of life unscathed or unconditioned. We all suffer the bruises and scars of life's journey. The notion of living a perfect life without issue does not exist. The sooner we realise this, the sooner we find harmony.
  • There are three different "K" aspects of consciousness happening inside us all, at all times: Knowing, The Knower, and The Known.
  • The nervous system is the mediator between the internal world and the environment around us. The nervous system is influenced and shaped as far back as pre-birth, when the mother's state can shape the feelings of her child in utero, leading to long-lasting effects throughout life.
  • Those who do not feel a sense of self or stability, are generally those who have tried, and failed, to fit their existence, their consciousness, into some cookie-cutter shape of what society tells us is the right path.
  • BEST MOMENTS

    'At a really early age I experienced some deep insights. One of the major insights was of impermanence'

    'The two worlds of east and west have a completely different idea of what consciousness is'

    'It's incredible that still to this day, we think that we're somehow an isolated being - an island unto ourselves'

    'We apply the same unconscious material, and what's driving that is a deep existential experience or feeling that something is wrong with me'

    'We're letting go on conditionality, we're letting go of separation, and starting to experience the intimacy of the now'
