Ego, Desire, and the Nothing That We Are | Adam & Reed Morning Show

Описание: Do you actually like the things you like, or are you just chasing a projection of how you think you'll feel?

This week, we dig into one of the most destabilizing questions you can ask yourself: what do you really want?

In this episode we talk about:

Why strong resistance is often the clearest signal about where your ego lives.

The "second arrow" — how we take one moment of pain and manufacture a second one.

Do you actually like or dislike anything, or are your preferences just nostalgia and mental movies?

The concept of "OKness" and why trying to get there is exactly what keeps you from it.

Why violence in nature disturbs us even though we are nature.

What animals might understand about consciousness that we've overthought our way out of.

The universe experiencing itself and why complexity might just be experience looking for more of itself.

Featuring live chat contributions from DoubleSpy and Ionutaune (Romania), references to Jung, Anthony DeMello, Nisargadatta, Jim Newman, Flatland, and the Holger Group.
