from Discerning Consciousness' Podcast · host Discerning Consciousness

In this episode Antony explains why having an addictive type of personality has given him the impulse to strive for a deeper meaning and purpose to life. He reflects upon how this led him to become disillusioned with normal life and the types of activities that most people seem to be satisfied with. Antony also points to the paradoxical nature of our lives, in terms of how something seemingly negative on the surface can actually serve a higher purpose.Discerning Consciousness - An Epic Journey - Covid-19 Video Diary: https://www.bitchute.com/playlist/qS4xh0mQtgWo/Antony In Conversation With Niall Murphy (aka Mr Opaque Lens):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8693RQreXsQ&list=PL5U0qZZ5ABD_RcNywWbI5y7wzszwCoW_x&index=4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FneI30ghflw&list=PL5U0qZZ5ABD_RcNywWbI5y7wzszwCoW_x&index=6https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ7A7fdDMmw&list=PL5U0qZZ5ABD_RcNywWbI5y7wzszwCoW_x&index=5
