Fred also highlights the role of conditioning and the need to reduce the screen time of the egoic voice.
Key Insights
- 🗣️ It is important to differentiate between the egoic voice and the voice of awakeness in our heads. The egoic voice often identifies with our human self, while the voice of awakeness is not authored by the ego.
- 🔄 Stabilizing in "don't know land" refers to a state of not constantly seeking certainty or being attached to fixed beliefs. This state allows us to be open to the wisdom that comes through the non-egoic voice.
- 🤔 Questioning the authenticity of the inner voice is crucial. The voice that feels authentic, non-fighting, and non-begging is more likely to be the voice of awakeness.
- 🧠 Choosing the wiser path, even if it doesn't feel immediately gratifying, is important for personal growth and development. It is about what is best for us rather than what simply feels good.
- ⏰ Reducing the screen time of the egoic voice involves not giving it too much attention or believing everything it says. By examining our conditioning and questioning the egoic voice, we can decrease its influence in our lives.
- ❓ When something new comes into our lives, we have the choice to either question it or believe it without inquiry. By choosing to question and inquire, we can gain a deeper understanding and make more informed choices.
- 🗣️ Nonduality is not about constant happiness. It is about examining our emotions and experiences closely, recognizing that we are not always happy or unhappy, and not being driven solely by the pursuit of feeling good.
