Summary

In this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about a recent plant medicine journey Scott took in Austin and the ways in which it opened him up to the expansiveness of his masculine and feminine energies (and everything in between). This led to them discussing sexuality and gender and the growing rapidness with which our world is evolving around these and other realities, and how that can feel exciting and/or destabilizing, depending on one’s perspective. The friends talked a lot about lived experiences, and how important it can be to partake of stories from others who are having different lived experiences than you, how that creates a pathway to understanding and to offering compassion and love for one another. Reading, from The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle “Once you have disidentified from your mind, whether you are right or wrong makes no difference to your sense of self at all, so the forcefully compulsive and deeply unconscious need to be right, which is a form of violence, will no longer be there. You can state clearly and firmly how you feel or what you think, but there will be no aggressiveness or defensiveness about it. Your sense of self is then derived from a deeper and truer place within yourself, not from the mind. Watch out for any kind of defensiveness within yourself. What are you defending? An illusory identity, an image in your mind, a fictitious entity. By making this pattern conscious, by witnessing it, you disidentify from it. In the light of your consciousness, the unconscious pattern will then quickly dissolve. This is the end of all arguments and power games, which are so corrosive to relationships. Power over others is weakness disguised as strength. True power is within, and it is available to you now.”
