When the Last Illusion Fell, There Was Nowhere Left to Hide with Christiane Michelberger

from Awakening Now · host Ilona Ciunaite

Send me your thoughts in a Text MessageWhat happens when the last illusion falls away, and it doesn't feel like peace?In this conversation, Christiane Michelberger returns two years after her first appearance to talk about what actually happened when her final fetter fell away. Rather than the bliss she expected, she describes hours of disorientation, the sudden loss of a place to withdraw to when things got hard, before it resolved the next morning into something she calls relief.We talk about the difference between direct pointing and direct experience as paths to seeing through illusion, why awakening doesn't mean the end of anger, fear, or being triggered, and why no teacher can transmit realization to another person. Christiane also shares a striking way of thinking about illusion itself, as a kind of hallucination, sensory experience without sensory input, and what it means to keep returning to what is actually here.This one is for anyone who has had a glimpse and is quietly wondering what a fuller shift might cost.Music by Valdi Sabev. In loving memory and gratitude for the music he shared.Support the showWebsiteshttp://ilonaciunaite.comhttp://liberationunleashed.com
