Why I Had to Stop Talking About Consciousness (A Post Awakening Confession)

from A New Way of Being

THE SHIFT HAPPENS RETREAT WITH SIMON & ALEX (October 3rd in London): https://shift-happens-retreat.subscribepage.io/In this solo episode, I share why—after powerful conversations with Donald Hoffman, Rupert Spira, and Bernardo Kastrup which have been viewed over half a million times —I’ve had to stop talking about consciousness in the way I used to.Since a profound Kensho experience 10 months ago, something fundamental has shifted. It’s not that those intellectual, non-dual conversations were wrong or unhelpful; in fact, they were an essential doorway for me and many listeners. But what’s become clear is this:The mind can’t grasp awakening—and trying to think our way there keeps us stuck.Awakening happens at the level of the heart, as loving presence, not as a set of concepts.Merely “witnessing” or “accepting” experience can hide a subtle indifference and rejection, whereas the true shift is an embracing, loving yes to what is.👉 Work with Me - free 15 minute 1:1 consultation: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/simon-mundie-intro-call👉 Website for coaching endorsements and retreat info: https://www.simonmundie.com👉 Free Course on 'Freedom From the Me Mind': https://www.simonmundie.com/courses👉 My book on Flow and Real uccess: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/champion-thinking-9781526626486/ Hosted on Acast.
