In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden anxieties and negative thought patterns carried by unconscious people—and why it’s crucial to understand them for your own self-protection and growth. We explore how societal pressures create artificial fears, suppressed feelings of worthlessness, guilt, and the impact of childhood conditioning. Learn how these unconscious emotions influence behavior and how they trigger even the most spiritually developed among us.

Discover the psychological roots behind anxiety, guilt, and the struggle for recognition, plus why healing begins by addressing these unconscious layers rather than just symptoms. We also touch on the limitations of modern psychology and medicine, the political influences on treatment, and the path to true self-awareness and inner freedom.

Whether you’re dealing with difficult people or seeking deeper insight into your own mind, this episode offers valuable perspectives to support your journey of consciousness and healing. Thanks to Kam Idris from unsplash for the beautiful background picture.

What if all addictions—whether to substances, phones, success, or even people—stem from one deeper cause: thinking itself?

In this episode, we explore how compulsive thought patterns fuel the endless cycle of highs and lows—and why the mind’s constant striving for pleasure is at the heart of every addiction. Drawing on ancient philosophy, psychology, and personal experience, we dive into:

• Why Seneca’s quote about desire still explains modern addiction

• How thinking works like a drug, driven by emotional highs and crashes

• The role of duality in human suffering

• Why suppression and distraction don’t work in the long term

• How to overcome addiction by facing the mind itself

• The power of meditation and "becoming the observer"

• What lies beyond thought—and why this is the path to true freedom

This is not just about addiction recovery—it’s about waking up from the addiction to thinking, and rediscovering a natural state of presence, balance, and peace.

In this episode, we explore the teachings of Meister Eckhart, the famous German monk, and his concept of Seclusion — a form of solitude that goes far beyond physical isolation.

He distinguishes two types of seclusion:

• Outer isolation — physically withdrawing into silence, such as going into the forest or a room for meditation.

• The much deeper inner seclusion — an inner detachment from thoughts, emotions, judgments, and identification with the ego.

Meister Eckhart describes this state as being “unmarried” to your own thoughts — a liberation from the self and the inner urge to cling to feelings or people. This letting go opens access to the true Self, the “ground of the soul,” where God reveals Himself — not as a person, but as the highest reality beyond all concepts.

We explore:

• Why outer isolation alone is often sabotaged by the mind

• How inner seclusion frees us from self-pity, mental chatter, and emotions

• Parallels with Eastern philosophy and the observer consciousness

• Why love and compassion, while important, are lower states compared to seclusion

• The mystery of “suffering without suffering” (apatheia) and profound mental calm

• Liberation from ego, personal God-images, and the true experience of God as spiritual reality
