Intro/outtro song: God Remembers by Anthony Catacoli

this episode is part 2 of the short series exploring the realm of shadows. this is a bit more of a personal account of how i was able to peer into my own shadows, the fear that was holding me back, and my story of liberation that continues to unfold. i also talk about the spirituality of darkness, the problem with instagram therapy and spirituality, and more.

DISCLAIMER

please note that within this episode, i talk about my religious views as a Christian and refer to God as "Him." while i do not think that God can be defined by any pronouns, i have been coming to terms with my own faith and i am in a season where seeing God as my Father is healing for me. since it is a personal and vulnerable story, i wanted to be true to what my heart wanted to say.

in this episode, i talk about the nature of dualistic thinking, the influence of the medical model on our perception of physical conditions / structures, and the interplay of science and spirituality within the context of metaphysical discussion. i also touch on mental health as the conduit for understanding the gaps that exist in the medical model, and how our post-modern society is trying to reconcile the parts of our selves that we have severed in the name of science.

When you have a "spiritual awakening," the brokenness of the world becomes harder and harder to grasp. There is no way back to the bliss of "living in the matrix" - so how do we move forward with this new sense of reality? How do we learn to navigate a world that we feel stranger to? How can we live a mindful life in the midst of war and corruption, financial strife, mental illness, and suffering? How do we find our life's purpose? In this episode, I introduce some of the concepts we will be covering in future episodes and discuss my own spiritual journey briefly. I am so excited to continue sharing some of my thoughts and reflections, pulling wisdom from great thinkers from this generation all the way back to those who shaped our world thousands of years ago. Thank you so much for tuning in, hope you enjoy!
