Probably my favorite blog of yours thus far. I have a list of links to read through and a podcast to listen intently to! Thanks for the summary and recommendations. This especially interested me, since my return to meditation consistency has been facilitated by Waking Up.
I’m already thinking through the concepts and I’m sure it will impact my week ahead. Something I’ve been wondering: when we come closer to understanding the narrative we have been telling ourselves about *who* we are and *how* we think, what happens next? Perhaps a simple covering in awareness and attention. But does that pave the way to a more authentic version of ourselves, if that is even an existing possibility?
I found myself analyzing my multitude of selves throughout this blog and it was actually quite funny (staring awkwardly at the coffee shop menu knowing damn well I’m asking for the black coffee light roast 9/10 times). Or even the way in which I feel the need to bring my philosophical and intellectual side to our conversations, meeting you where I *think* you are, whatever that means. This has been a classroom for me—thanks Elias!
Read a book in grad school called What is Called Thinking by Martin Heidegger and this reminds me of it. It’s a deep down dive of our self and our thoughts and their origin. Thank you for another fabulous blog. The seed example really got to me. 💗
