Is it really a bad news? Is it awareness or self-monitoring? Is it awareness or judgment? Is it awareness or judgment? Or control. As someone who's been doing this work for nearly 10 years. What I know to be true is awareness without connection to the senses, It's often. Just another form of overthinking with better branding. I'm all about doing the inner work and cultivate a deeper sense of awareness. But the same inner world can become a trap. Here are a few things to look for. When inner work teaches you to explain yourself instead of experiencing yourself. When inner work rushes to reframe your lived experience into a lesson. Well before you had an opportunity to sit with the part of yourself that have been hurt. When inner work tries to make you more regulated, More healed. Instead of making you feel more honest, More compassionate, And more human. Because then. . . It doesn't set you free. It only gives your mind, Your analytical mind, A more sophisticated language to protect itself. And it makes it significantly harder to take steps towards your unconditioning. Take steps towards your freedom. So is it a virus? Or is it something else? Thank you for joining me on Unconditioning Path. My name is Hadi and I see you in the next video.
