This is a recording of a recent LIVE we held in our Instagram Community on Our Journey Through Pain - the first in a series.
Excuse the occasional responses to viewers - it was all very spontaneous! 🥰🤗
What is Pain?
It seems obvious....it's a feeling....isn't it?
And it's undesirable.....isn't it?.....Doesn't EVERYONE believe pain simply shouldn't exist?.......Isn't the aim to just get rid of it?......Create a world where there IS no pain?
Before we know it, we've bought into a paradigm without even realising it.
It even has a name: 'mechanical reductionism' - everything is a machine, and science can fix that machine by reducing it to its tiniest part and finding out what it does, how it goes wrong, and how to 'mend' it.
So we've learned to look at everything in terms of what it does, and how.
For years, we've forgotten to ask other questions. Like, WHAT or WHO and WHY.
And so we walk asleep, having no big picture to call on other than this mechanical reductionist world view:
Consciousness exists in the brain, when the brain dies, so do we.
Pain shouldn't exist, we must eliminate it. We might as well try to make this one tiny life the best it can be, at least!
And then a new paradigm began to re-emerge: one that Eastern philosophies and indigenous peoples have always understood - we are beings, not machines. And EVERYTHING is conscious.
And scientists started to experience the truth of it. And to begin to explain it. We exist in a vast web of consciousness, and consciousness exists beyond - and independently of - the brain.
So THIS is the journey! Let's look at pain through NEW eyes!
I'm so glad you're here. Blessed to be part of your sacred journey!
