Dualistic Unity Social Episode 48 (September 3rd, 2024) | Navigating the Weight of Our Narrative

In this episode, we dive deep into the invisible barriers we've created around ourselves—barriers built from habitual narratives, expectations, and the persistent fiction of self. Join us as we discuss the surprising momentum of our subjective environment and the profound impact of narrative weight on our choices and experiences. From societal expectations to the subtle yet powerful illusion of personal identity, this conversation sheds light on the opportunity to break free from false certainty and embrace the possibility of "flight" when we let go of self-imposed limits. Rediscover the boundless potential of simply being.
