Attaining a sense of inner freedom is one of our core needs but we’re often blocked from having such an experience. This can lead to problems like addiction, depression, and anxiety.
There are two ways to make your inner freedom conscious: The first is to process the negative altered states of mind your problems induce (depression, anxiety, etc); the second is to process the positive altered states of mind you unconsciously seek through drugs, alcohol, sex, exercise, work, success, play, love, eating, sleeping, dreaming, meditation, medication, incantation, ritual, prayer, music, and so on.
This episode presents a far-reaching discussion of how your life issues are really just expressions of your process, and if you use them in an intentional, proactive way, they can become your guide to inner freedom, healing, well-being, and wisdom.
