Hey there, lovely listeners! It's your favorite podcast host, Monica, back with another episode of "Deep Dives & Sarcastic Sides." Today, we're jumping headfirst into a whirlpool of spirituality, ego, and the human race's penchant for running off cliffs like a bunch of lemmings. Trust me, it's going to be an enlightening rollercoaster – with a twist of sarcasm, of course!

The Intricate Dance of Inner Healing

First off, let's talk about the ever-confusing dance of introspection. You know, that thing where every spiritual guru tells you to "find your answers within?" Well, I'm here wondering, are we tuning into our higher self or just having a chit-chat with our ego? It's like being on a cosmic blind date with yourself – you never know who's going to show up!

The Unhealed Self: Our Constant Companion

Here's a reality check – if you're incarnated on this crazy planet, you've got an unhealed part. That's right, folks! Being one with the cosmos is a work in progress. So, when I say, "Go do your research," I'm crossing my fingers, hoping you're not just binge-watching cat videos and calling it "spiritual awakening."

Lemmings, Humans, and the Cliff of Existence

Did you know about lemming massacres? These little creatures running off cliffs for no apparent reason? Yeah, that sometimes feels like the human race in a nutshell. We’re all just running in circles, possibly towards our own metaphorical cliffs. And before you ask, no, there's no predator chasing us – it's just us, folks!

Looking Back vs. Moving Forward

Now, let's get real about our obsession with the past. We’re like those people who can’t stop talking about their high school glory days. News flash: innovation doesn’t come from mimicking the past. It’s about forging ahead, creating what we need, not rehashing what we had. Let’s be more like inventors, less like historians of our own lives.

Breaking Patterns: The Fear of the New

Ever notice how we’re all stuck on repeat? It’s like we’re scared to change the channel. We need those dark nights of the soul, those moments of being the black sheep, to break free from the herd. Imagine everyone wearing black, and you decide to wear white. Sure, it’s more work (hello, laundry!), but someone’s got to show it’s possible to be different.

Are We All Just Cosmic Mutts?

In a surprising twist, our conversation veers into the realm of genetics and identity. Guess what? We might all be cosmic mutts, with a mishmash of ancestries stirring up our DNA cocktail. No wonder we’re a bit all over the place! It’s like having a family reunion with ancestors from 14 generations – talk about a crowded house!

Embracing Our Roles: From 3D to Soul Mission

Let’s dive into the concept of roles. Whether you’re thinking about your 3D job or your soul mission, it’s all about embracing your part in this cosmic play. Not everyone can be the innovator throwing spaghetti at the wall. We need the record-keepers, the pioneers, the testers, and yes, even the skeptics.

The Value of Every Role

Here’s a radical idea: let's start valuing every role equally. From the janitor to the CEO, everyone’s contribution is vital. It’s about time we ditch the hierarchy and start appreciating each other for the unique pieces we are in this jigsaw puzzle called life.

The Ego and The Quest for Perceived Power

Why are we so obsessed with hierarchies, anyway? Spoiler alert: it’s the ego. We’re all chasing that dopamine rush of being “better” than someone else. But what if we embraced the idea that everyone's role is equally important? That the janitor is as crucial as the principal? Mind-blowing, right?

The Great Reset: Burning Down to Rebuild

Sometimes, I wonder if we just need to let everything burn down (metaphorically, of course) to start anew. It’s like realizing we’ve been calling a three-legged stool a chair. It’s time to acknowledge it’s not working and build something that actually does.

We’re here learning and growing alongside you as we move the conversation forward together from the BS that’s crushing authentic voices and keeping many in a loop of self-destruction. We’re here to make better choices consciously and truly understand the connection to our subconscious mind. We’re seeking the questions no one is daring to ask and are here to listen to answers with an open mind & loving heart - are you willing to do the same and help move the conversation forward? Alos, anything written or said about diet and mental health are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing. What worked for me, may not work for you. I am not a doctor, therapist, nutritionist or dietician and all medical advice should be gotten from a qualified professional.
