Episode Details

Who is the you underneath the you? There is a self below the ego, and the ego is the part doing all the suffering.

Ask who Steven is and the false self answers first. Podcast host. Councillor. Meditator. Man in a wheelchair. All of that is memory doing the job it evolved for, remembering where the bear was. Underneath it is something with no desires and no story, and you can find the edge of it right now. Are you aware of your left toe? You were not, and then you were. Now widen that until it is not pointed at anything. Not warm, not cosy. Just there, and it does not come and go.

One thing to try: Be aware of your left toe. Then let the awareness spread until it is not aimed at anything at all.
