In this episode Eric and Jenn discuss the various ways in which the spirit plays victim to the physiological temptations of the mind. Whether it be through drugs, sex or relationships, one thing is for certain; when our egos go unchecked, we become vulnerable to various unconscious behaviors that dampen our awareness and crush our ability to deeply love ourselves, and others.
When we practice mindful awareness of source moderating our existence, we can create space between the divinity inside and the mind body structures that allow us to have and embody this human experience. The key isn’t to eradicate the pleasure centers that help us experience joy, but to work in harmony with the body by maintaining a sense of heart/spirit coherence and tapping into awareness.
We also discuss our recent experience watching the documentary “The Social Dilemma” and segments relating to the world in which todays teens live. Driven by social media likes, follows and audience engagement stats, these artificially generated social matrix structures which have influenced an entire generation of adolescence to fall victim to impossible and unattainable beauty standards, leading to a whole host of psychological issues relating to self esteem, self worth and identity. Yet, if we were to check in with ourselves and remain vigilant and in our awareness, we can begin to see how much of an ego trap this is for ourselves and not fall into the vicious cycle of needing external validation and approval for being human.
