Who am I without my story?
Episode 15
Published 20 hours ago
Description
Who are we beneath our names, histories, roles and carefully constructed identities?
In this episode, we explore the stories through which we define ourselves—and the quiet, ageless presence that remains when those stories briefly fall silent. Drawing on an encounter between a Western seeker and an Indian yogi, as well as neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor’s extraordinary account in My Stroke of Insight, we ask whether our personal history is the whole of who we are—or simply something appearing within a much larger awareness.
Perhaps freedom does not require destroying our story, but learning to hold it more lightly.
