0:00.0	Aaron Apki, we're here, we're here.
0:03.1	Good to be with you, bro.
0:04.6	Yeah, thank you for being here.
0:07.3	What is the root of suffering, Aaron, from your perspective?
0:12.5	Well, you know, the root of suffering is definitely the belief in separation.
0:16.6	But I find that to be a concept that by itself is usually not super helpful alone, and it needs
0:24.1	a little bit of clarification.
0:25.6	Further, I would say suffering arises from three root beliefs that the ego has.
0:32.3	The ego is the part of our mind that believes we're a separate entity, right, apart from
0:36.8	God.
0:39.2	So me believing that I'm just limited to this physical body in this physical lifetime is what creates ego. And so the ego is
0:46.4	like a mental activity that just identifies with everything that is placed in front of it,
0:51.2	that you give attention to. I am this, I am that, my this, my that,
0:55.8	I mean my. And as your ego goes along collecting identities, the more identities your ego
1:02.6	collects and that you believe in, you can almost say like the heavier the weight becomes
1:07.6	on your soul. And so collecting so many identities over a lifetime, I'm this person, this and that
1:14.6	happened to me in the past, I've been abandoned, I've been abused, et cetera.
1:18.2	It starts to weigh the soul down to a point that, you know, almost like alchemizing the
1:23.2	coal into the diamond, that downward pressure the ego creates on the soul becomes the spark
1:30.3	for spiritual awakening eventually. And so the sort of three beliefs, the way that I dice separation
1:36.1	down is into these three beliefs, that the moment I think that I'm separate, I'm not one with my
1:41.8	source. I'm not one with the universe, one with you, one with all. The moment I believe I'm not one with everything, the first sort of mental belief that's created is the belief in lack. If I'm separate, that implies that I must be lacking. And the ego doesn't really know what it's lacking, right? It just feels that it's lacking something.
