Spiritual Rope Burn
Ego consciousness can leave us with spiritual rope burn, the suffering caused by attachments to transient concepts, such as beliefs, opinions, perceptions, needs, wants, and desires. The mind can become a matted mess without a process by which to develop enough awareness to learn how to observe its inner workings. Trillions of bits of data stream into the mind every moment of every day, and by default, the brain filters out that which it has been conditioned to ignore. Where there is trauma, the brain focuses on what is most similar to what has caused pain and, thus, becomes hijacked. Learning to stabilize awareness assists with self-actualization, which can lead toward unity consciousness beyond the pursuit of pleasure or the fear of pain. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano explores the potential when one is willing to confront the mind.
