Meditation, exercise, nutrition, yoga, psychotherapy, energy work, philosophy, etc all can be important in our awakening process. Yet seeing clearly can melt the delusions that may be causing much of our problems. When I see that the deadly cobra in my room is actually only a rope all of my issues regarding that "deadly" event melt away quickly. No psychotropic drugs or psychotherapy needed for my previous dread and anxiety. No meditation, no philosophy, nothing is needed. All done. While all of the above can be vital at different times, "To See Is To Be Free." From my contemplation number 1 on my website, www.williamecooper.wordpress.com
Though I am a psychotherapist and these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, they are not psychotherapy. If psychotherapy is ever needed, please reach out to a psychotherapist.
