From Sunday Zen on YouTube! Enjoy ❤️
Let's dive deep into the themes of trust, surrender, and the Threads of Awakening model introduced by Dr. Pierce Salguero in this live episode of Sunday Zen.
I've been reflecting on how traditional spiritual models can leave us feeling lost, stuck, or even scared, and how Pierce's approach offers a more inclusive framework that resonates with my own experiences.
We share insights on the different threads—emptiness, energy, unity, and psyche—and how they manifest in our lives. We discuss the challenges of spiritual ego, which I've grappled with myself, and discuss the role of psychedelics in opening new pathways of understanding. And we touch on the importance of embracing the unknown as the true entry point to the nature of reality.
Topics covered include:
The Threads of Awakening model and its impact
Trust and surrender in the spiritual journey
Navigating spiritual ego and its pitfalls
Psychedelics as tools
Embracing the unknown and the nature of reality
The integration and release of spiritual threads
Personal reflections on my own spiritual path
Practices to open the heart and simply BE
Mrs. DoggMD and I hiked up to the top of a crazy temple and cemetery called Otani Sobyo above Kyoto this morning. Pure madness 🔥 and HELLLA G-HOSTS!
As the sun set tonight our lovely birds had no idea they were savouring their last taste of freedom for several months (I guess). It had to happen sometime but we have a confirmed case of H5N1 Avian Flu in the area and we just fall into the 10 Km Surveilance Zone. So now inside are a weird collection of chickens of various ages, 3 cockerels (I've told them the red wine is on stand by for Coq au Vin if they start fighting) and five gentle, thoughtful Turkeys. I'm really not at all sure how they will get on sharing indoor space with no sky or grass.
