“Part of the joy of selflessness is that as we become selfless much greater forces of what life is move through us.” – Jack Kornfield

In this episode, Jack mindfully explores:

Disentangling your illusions
Opening to the paradox of self and no-self
The yogic practice of asking, “Who am I?”
This mystical present moment
How the entire universe is inside your mind
Experiencing selflessness
Why you can’t just ‘no-self’ it away
Moving past your inner-critic, shame, and unworthiness
Listening to, accepting, and loving the shadow
The strength of being grounded on Earth
Working with meaninglessness
Letting go of old identities
Love as the work of a lifetime

“You can’t just ‘no-self’ it away.” – Jack Kornfield

“All that you need to do is to keep coming back to the present and what needs to open in you will. You can really trust that.” – Jack Kornfield
