Show Notes

What are we seeking through awakenings? If we are not seeking, they happen to us through childbirth or Near Death Experience, are there differences? Why is awakening valuable and/or is it always valuable? What part does the desire for awakening play in our experience? In this episode, Polly and Mike talk about their own seeking and motivations for awakening. They also talk about Nature waking us up – as in death and Near Death Experience. What about prayer, unseen deities, and other non-visible forces? Are they pushing us to awaken or are they problematic? Why do some religions warn against awakening and against invisible forces whereas others promote them?
