In This Interview, Amoda Maa and I Discuss...

  • Her new book, Embodied Enlightenment: Living Your Awakening In Every Moment
  • Awakening
  • Waking up out of the dream of separation
  • Waking up out of the dream of thinking that we are our thoughts and feelings
  • Awakening not dependant on or a precursor to one's psychological health
  • Surrendering the need to uphold oneself
  • Surrendering the psychological self
  • The need for psychological safety giving rise to egoic tendencies
  • The defense and attack found in righteousness
  • The verticality of being
  • Not having an agenda of the outcome when opening ourselves to our experience and meeting it as it is
  • How to be free from suffering
  • The strength of life's intelligence
  • The ripening that happens within oneself when you've finally had enough of running away from pain
  • No real relief from pain and no final freedom from pain when all you're doing is running away from it
  • Am I willing to meet this exactly as it is?
  • Trying not to try
  • True fulfillment is the emptying of the spiritual shopping basket
  • The paradox of trying not to try
  • Accumulating agendas = committing to a particular spiritual path and expecting that you'll feel worthy and good enough
  • Love is seeking to know itself
  • Silence is ever present in everything
