The Story of Your Life Is Not What You Think It Is
Most of us believe our life story is a collection of the things that have happened to us—our successes, our traumas, and our roles. We spend our entire lives telling ourselves the same story—the ups, downs, triumphs, and failures that we believe define who we are. But what if that story, the one you've been editing and re-editing since childhood, isn't actually the story of your life?
What if all of that is transitory, like the weather, and your true story is actually more like the sky, holding all of the weather with equanimity, unbothered and unthreatened?
In this episode, Terry and Haydn examine how the mind creates fictions based on incomplete information gathered in our early years, and why we often feel trapped in a "closed tape loop" of the past. You'll discover how to pivot from a life of survival to one of realization, and how to stop reacting to life from the outside in and start living from the inside out.
We discuss:
The difference between your experiences and your existence
Why "your life is a story too common to be told" (and why that's actually good news)
The spiritual bankruptcy of seeking fulfillment "out there."
How to build inner stability that transforms your outer circumstances
5 Truths to live by to transition from a story of suffering to a plot of self-realization
