Awakening To The Influences That Drive Us With Mike Vera
Episode 62
mercredi 25 septembre 2024 • Duration 53:58
Send me your thoughts in a Text Message
There are many different awakenings and today we explore awakening to the influences that drive us with Mike Vera.
What influences your choices, and worldview, what unquestioned beliefs are unconsciously shaping your experience? These are some serious questions and they require thorough investigation. In my conversation with Mike Vera, we uncover the right attitude and questions to ask to un-hypnotise ourselves. Our human experience is run on automatic, as our beliefs are colouring our perception and we get to live in a bubble of a self-sustaining system. You can use this conversation as a mirror allowing your beliefs to come to awareness. Awake in the non-dual sense or not, our human experience is included and there might be many places that still need conscious attention.
Mike Vera is a Board Certified Health Coach (NBC-HWC) and the founder of Avantia Health Optimization. As a dedicated podcaster, Mike challenges traditional health narratives through his influential platform, Healthy & Awake Podcast.

Self-Inquiry Session 2: When The Belief System Starts To Collapse
Episode 60
mercredi 11 septembre 2024 • Duration 43:12
Send me your thoughts in a Text Message
Meet Omar in our second self-inquiry session and see how he is doing.
When the belief system starts to collapse it can be very intense and confusing. How to navigate what happens next?
This raw, open and sincere conversation reveals what many do not see in the positive and light non-duality videos. The beginning of deconstruction for some may be blissful, for others, it can be hell. Either way, a lot is happening and it’s good to know that everything is unfolding in the right way, what needs to fall away is going to fall away and that there is no turning back.
Join us for a 5-minute meditation that will help to balance the system.
What helped me through this period was learning to say yes to whatever was happening by practising and changing my attitude to the emotions that showed up. Bliss or purge— it will eventually pass.

Self Is A Story Behind Stories With Chris Niebauer
Episode 59
mercredi 4 septembre 2024 • Duration 59:47
Send me your thoughts in a Text Message
Self is a story. Created by the left brain and experienced as your inner voice there is a story. A story behind all stories.
Meet Chris Niebauer. He is the author of a famous book No Self, No Problem. Chris earned his Ph.D. in cognitive neuropsychology at the University of Toledo, specializing in the differences between the left and right sides of the human brain. He is currently a professor at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania, where he teaches courses on consciousness, mindfulness, left- and right-brain differences, and artificial intelligence.
Listen to our fascinating conversation and learn about the trick of language, the left brain and right brain functions and a unique Brazilian tribe, that has no stories. In the episode, Chris shares some exercises and advice for a seeker.
“Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 percent of everything you think, and of everything you do, is for yourself—and there isn't one.”

Everything Changes, Nothing Stays The Same With Tim Cliss
Episode 56
mercredi 14 août 2024 • Duration 01:05:02
Send me your thoughts in a Text Message
Tim Cliss is a well-known non-duality teacher, speaker, and author.
Our conversation revolves around awakening, non-duality, nothing and everything. Tim shares a little bit of his awakening story which was full of desperation, aloneness, and suffering while looking for Truth. What revealed itself was surprisingly liberating and indescribable. Since then Tim has been sharing Nonduality message. We touch on the subjects of liberation, a shift that may happen, silence, birth and death and take a closer look at what exactly the self is, what it wants and how it gets to be real.
You can find him on Facebook, where he posts every day, and meet him on Zoom every Thursday at 7 pm UK time.
Tim's presence is light, spontaneous and somehow mystical, just like the names of his books.

Awakening to the natural state is an identity shift, and it's a shift from what you think and imagine yourself to be to seeing what is always here underneath all concepts.
In this episode meet Angelo Dillulo. Angelo stands out from the crowd of non-duality teachers as a unique and energetic guide who is able to express clearly and create valuable content for everyone on the awakening journey. He points home, to the natural state in a simple language, and can cut through the veil to the point.
In this episode we covered topics of what awakening is, what pre-awakening is, we discussed glimpses and their value, how the awakening experience may look for some people. We talk about helpful techniques, self-inquiry and what happens when identity shifts.
In this video, Angelo Dilullo is kindly sharing his awakening story.
