Losing Your Soul

In this episode I explore one of the most famous sayings of Jesus, and one of his clearest teachings on the self and nonduality. It is found in all four gospels, which is an extremely rare occurrence. Here it is in four slightly different forms: Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.Whoever finds his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will find it.Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life will keep it for eternal life.Here is the longest form of it:“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?In all of these sayings Jesus is talking about moving from identifying with one’s temporary human self and finding one’s identity in the eternal or true Self. View Marshall's books here:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU
