Letting Go

Attachment is conflating a true, soul-centered longing with an ego-driven desire for gain.

We conflate joy with pleasure and become addicts to people, places, or things.

We confuse peace and contentment with a state of mind and emotion and spend the day discontentedly manipulating the outward circumstances trying to arrive there.

Before we realize it, we are living our lives attached, or let’s just call it what it really is, shackled to these conflations that we are miserable.

And the only solution is letting go.

Soul-Centering

You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.  – Author Unknown

Grasping this – and learning to live by its truth – is what we’ll call soul-centering.

An ego-centered life is like a black hole – everything is pulled towards itself. Nothing escapes. Not even light. It’s pure darkness.

A soul-centered life is more like a star – everything is radiating outward. There is only warmth. And light.This is how we’re meant to live.

Know Thyself

I had been my whole life a bell and never knew it until at that moment I was lifted and struck. – Annie Dillard

Awestruck Podcast is a hero’s journey to the center of you.

Have you ever been awestruck? We were meant to live in this transformed state of attention, not just long for it or experience it rarely. It is the real. It is what makes you real. To be spellbound, captivated, filled with wonder, held in aesthetic arrest, awestruck. 

It is in this state of wonder that we find our ability to find ourselves. To be real. And to accept real truth that transforms us into everything we long to be.

Podcast Goals

To lead you to that state of wonder we call AWESTRUCK, which is the doorway through which we must all walk to achieve transformation.

To lead you to seek and discover your true self – your soul. To embrace your real self and let go of the false self – the ego. To “know thyself.”

To help you grasp and receive the overwhelming, sacred love of God.

Read the fascinating story of the scientific examination of Saint Luke’s bones in Padua.

In the book of Acts, Luke mentions 32 countries, 54 cities, and 9 Mediterranean islands. He also lists 95 people by name, 62 of which are not named elsewhere in the New Testament (Metzger, 171).

In addition, Luke is intimately familiar with the constantly-changing political conditions of the Roman world. References to Augustus, Tiberius, Claudius, Quirinius, the Herods, Felix, and Festus are recorded. In not one of these citations is there a mistake. (Source)
