Today we’re going to talk about how to reintegrate your repressed anger.In the last episode we spoke about what repressed anger is and how to spot it. Go check out that episode, then come back here to learn how to reintegrate it.I’ve tried four methods and each of them has proved useful and helped me taste the joy and fullness that comes from reintegrating this emotion.

What are the top 3 symptoms of repressed anger? Knowing these will help you uncover your own repressed anger and begin to heal it.Anger is one of the most commonly suppressed emotions.

This has nefarious effects on your wellbeing and behaviour, and can even lead to depression.Article with two extra symptoms

Today I’m going to talk about the deepest spiritual experience I ever had, which was the first time I took acid, and which forever destroyed my scientific dogmas about God.I’m going to share my insights into what God really is, from a non-biblical, non-dogmatic, mystical, embodied, directly apprehended perspective.

Today I share the story of my 2nd acid trip, how it helped me unearth and reintegrate an enormous personal shadow, and the insights I gained into our repressed side.If you’re not sure what the shadow is, I talk about it in my latest article called the symptoms of repressed anger.And let me tell you, REALLY seeing the shadow turned my inside out, for the better, and I can never go back to my previous ignorance.

Yes, the title is right: I’m committing to doing a meditation streak, doing not 10, not 30, not 60, not 100, but 1000 consecutive days of meditation.When I shared this with my meditation students, I think they thought I was a bit crazy.And it does seem a bit crazy. I’ve never met anyone who has done such a long daily streak. I’m sure there are many people, but I’ve never met anyone who’s done anything like this.So let me explain why, along with how I made it into a fundraising campaign.

Let’s talk about manifesting, debunk the BS behind it, and talk about how to really make your dreams come true.I kinda cringe when I hear people talking about manifesting. When they do, I get the impression they’re either trying to sell me something, or have never really achieved anything in their life.BUT behind the strange, woo-woo, pseudoscientific explanations, there is a very real, observable, reliable, repeatable track to success, to being a results maker. This is the gem that the manifestation people are desperately trying to explain with QM.And once we’ve talked about the current manifestation movement, we’ll look at exactly how you become a results maker in detail.

Today, we talk about personality masks.Often our most salient character traits are a facade erected to conceal who we really are behind it.Learn to accurately judge and interpret people, stop taking things personally, create emotional distance, and get ultra-useful intel on yourself and others.

Let’s talk about the spiritual ego and how to dismantle it.Rather than viewing the spiritual ego as a single kind of personality, I see it as a phenomenon that shows up as different characters, as subpersonalities, as mini-egos that hijack Truth to serve their own ends, thus distorting pure spiritual wisdom.I’ve come across six types in my time, and here are my quirky names for them: the Theoriser, the Mean Monk, the Hippy, the Introspective, the Hermit, and the Prophet.Disclaimer: All of my conclusions are merely works in progress. That said, I’ve been around enough to meet these various characters both in myself and in others.
