I’ve spent more than four decades exploring what it really means to wake up — not as an idea, but as a lived experience.
We’re all born awake, but most of us are conditioned to forget who we really are. As a child, I could sense the spirit in nature, yet like many of you, I was taught to ignore it.
In this talk, I share:
• Why we lose touch with our natural state of awareness
• The difference between your ego’s awareness and the awareness that’s aware of your awareness
• How meditation, Tai Chi, and even working with archetypes helped me reconnect to the deeper “I” within
• Why the journey of awakening can feel like a death of the ego — and why that’s the doorway to real freedom
This is not philosophy. It’s the living truth of your own soul.
