This month, we’re talking about needs and boundaries, and we’re offering the roadmap to navigate all our different types of relationships.

We’re going to explore what makes relationships complex in the first place, and what happens when we feel that our psychological existence is under threat. Then we are going to discover how to create relationships that foster self-inquiry, and thrive on the clarity of desires and healthy boundaries. 

What is Covered: 

-How all relationships are influenced by our conditioned beliefs

-The difference between the absolute, the relative and the illusory world

-How desperation in relationships creates distorted perceptions

-Why seeking validation from others is a futile effort 

-How clear boundaries can enhance relationship dynamics

-Fostering relationships as a gift that serves as a mirror for self-discovery

-How understanding our needs and wants can transform our interactions

-Why we need to be very specific in communicating our desires

-How to engage in healthy relationships that help our personal growth

This month, we are going to look at seven principles of mental health. The more the mind understands these principles, the more able it is to navigate this world, which is very rarely exactly as it appears to be. Adopting these seven principles will bring us closer to unlocking ultimate mental freedom and understanding our experience of reality.  

We will be looking at:

• Self-concept and how it leads to a battle within the mind
• The principle of no separation between external reality and self-concept
• The concept of no free will and the subconscious foundation of our behaviours
• What emotional health really means 
• Why relationships are the greatest gift no matter how difficult they are
• The true meaning of self-care
• How to unleash impersonal individual brilliance

How can we be more true to ourselves? 

This is a question for anyone who feels as though their experience of being is out of line from a deep feeling within what they are. It might be that our way of living, our relationships, the place we're living, our lifestyle, that all of those things are not quite coherent to what we are. It might be that our behaviour and our habits are jarring, and that there might be a feeling of needing to control or manipulate to get what we think we need. 

And none of that feels quite right. So today we’re going to look at how to be more ourselves, and how we can start to align more clearly with the truth of what we are. 

What You’ll Discover: 

-The more personal things are, the more out of alignment the mind is

-How we can look at our sense of identity as a coping mechanism

-What makes up our personality and how to deconstruct that concept

-How to liberate our passions and interests

-What our lifestyle and relationships reveal about our belief systems

-How to find our voice and the courage to say what we think

This month, we are exploring identity - specifically gender identity and its implications on society and on our understanding of the truth of what we are. Identity, or the vision of ourselves that is held psychologically, is the product of an enormous belief system. There is currently a societal wave that has made it very difficult to ask big questions about gender identity, and in some cases, challenging the beliefs about one’s identity is criminalised. 

So in this episode, we are going to explore the psychological construct of identity, what happens when psychological identity overrides biological reality, why organising society around identity constructs is dangerous, and how to seek truth and truthfulness in the conversations around gender identity. 

What is Covered: 

-What is identity and how it’s created

-Why questioning one’s identity is not a threat but an invitation

-The dangers of organising a society around identity constructs

-The implications of gender identity of institutions, laws and society

-Two ways in which gender identity trumps biological reality

-How the entire mental health industry relies on securing one’s identity

-Why it’s crucial for parents and educators to understand identity

-Seeking honesty and considering the reality of existence in the conversations around identity

This month we’re looking at what kind of difference in perception and experience people should expect as a result of exploring reality in the way in which we are doing it in our programs.

There are three areas that I would expect to change. And if these aren't changing, then there's an obstacle - a fear, more than anything else, of what it means for the mind to go deeply into what is true. In this episode, we’re going to look into what those three areas are. We are going to talk about the misguided pursuit of happiness, how to reverse emotional fixation, and how understanding our behaviour can lead to personal growth, accountability, and realising the infinite potential of our superpowered mind. 

What is Covered: 

-How pursuing happiness and peace as a goal leads to turmoil

-Why emotions should flow freely without any fixation

-What our behaviour reveals about our subconscious patterns and beliefs

-Letting go of believing in an independent chooser in our actions

-Why we must first recognise harmful behaviours and how to do that

-Why true change requires no willpower or control

-What it means to truly and deeply engage with reality

-How a genuine exploration of our wants confronts ego protection

-How to access and enjoy the continuous feedback loop of learning and creation

In this month’s episode, we're looking at the benefit of problems, and how they can perform an important role within the belief system in which the mind operates. We're going to look at it from two perspectives - the benefit for the identity, and the benefit for a more aligned experience of being.

So we’re going to understand what may be the basis of our persistent problems with relationships or with money, how to discern between different kinds of problems, and how we can shift the mind from projections into reality.   

What We Cover: 

-The same conditioning behind the problems and the identity

-The “job” of our problems and why they resist solutions  

-What we need to ask ourselves when we have a persistent problem

-How to see through problems and understand what is wanted and what is achievable

-Why increasing the capacity for discomfort brings the mind into reality

-Accepting that the mind actually loves problem solving

When we are looking to solve a problem, one of the most difficult elements of a problem can be regret. It’s that thought, if only I'd done something differently when I had the chance, then this problem wouldn't be here. If I had or hadn’t done something at a certain moment in time, that would have changed everything about the past from that point on, the present moment that is being experienced right now, and the future. 

Regret is a powerful state of mind for us to look at. In this episode, we’re going to define regret, how it works, what it does, and how to free up the full power of the human mind. 

What is Covered: 

-The definition of regret

-How regret functions in the mind

-The benefits of regret for the ego identity

-What happens when our mind resists the present moment

-What happens when our mind is present in the moment

-The role and value of regret for personal growth

-The questions we can ask ourselves in relation to our regret

This month’s episode is an introduction to our May programme, which is all about the intelligence of the mind, how it is liberated and how it comes into its full potential as the most miraculous and capable organ on the entire planet. Basically, all our programmes are looking at how the mind becomes more sane. 

One of the ways in which the mind becomes more grounded in reality is through problem solving. Today, we’re going to look at two kinds of problems that our mind is trying to solve, and how that contributes to grounding ourselves into the truth of what we really are. 

What is Covered: 

-How and why the mind creates projections of the reality

-What identity problems are and what they get exacerbated 

-Problems in the world of form and of information

-Why we claim that all problems in this world can be solved

-What stress is telling us when we are solving a problem

-The difference between the identity want and the form want

-Other types of problems that we can look at

“Let go of the outcome” is such a modern mantra, isn't it? Let go of the outcome and just focus on the process. And that mantra gets very confusing, because why would we let go of an outcome that is highly achievable and highly beneficial either to us, or to others, or to the world? Think about the work of surgeons and what would happen if they let go of the outcome. 

The problem is that letting go of the outcome can start to imply to not even try, not think about it, it almost becomes an opt-out from effort. So in this episode, we’re going to bin “let go of the outcome” and start thinking about achievable and unachievable wants instead. 

What is Covered: 

-Why focusing on the outcome creates so much stress 

-Learning to understand unachievable wants 

-What happens when “I” is both the subject and the object of a want

-How to avoid wanting outcomes that are impossible to pin down

-Why sometimes the wanted outcome is unrelated to the action being taken

-The impossibility of resisting or fixing certain emotion in place

-The value of putting all the research, effort and hard work only into achievable outcomes

The direct path is a spiritual approach which considers that the content of experience is a creation of the mind. And for the mind to be in truth, we should turn away from that content to what lies behind all of the experience of being, which is consciousness, intelligence, love. 

The direct path is completely solid and grounded, and that’s awesome. But the thing is, the mind is still operating in a world where we work, we have family, mortgages to pay or problems with our boss. So if the only truth is what is prior to the mind's creations, what do we do now with this reality? That’s what we are exploring in this episode. 

What is Covered: 

-Explanation of the direct path

-The problem with a lot of spiritual teachings of the direct path

-How the direct path grounds us deeper into reality

-Expanding the emotional capacity vs. denying the pain

-How the direct path reveals itself in the midst of the confrontation

-Why “What do you want?” is the crucial question to ask ourselves
