Show Notes

In this episode, Mike and Polly consider the take-away from awakening. Does it matter how awakening is initiated – our motivations, the method, what is driving us? Why are there so many differences in what individuals bring back and translate into relating to self and other? If we experience an “ontological shock” from awakening, whether we induce it or the awakening happens to us (as in NDEs), what allows us to “make the most of it”? What about differences in the ways we see the world? What makes waking up a positive, negative or even harmful experience? How much as to do with our personalities and how much with the ways we wake up?

1. What are the differences in your own awakenings? 

2. What do you know about harmful experiences connected to awakening?

3. How are we affected by how we see the world and what we believe is true?
