"Sometimes it's foolish to be wise and wise to be silent." It's tempting to tell our wisdom to others. And sometimes it can be very helpful if delivered at the right time and in the right way. But very often, telling people wisdom outright can be an ego trap. Learn when to stay silent and sit on your wisdom. Paradoxically, that can be the wisest, most compassionate thing to do. – Daniel Lev Shkolnik ________________________________________ Sign up for a free consult: https://www.stableawakening.com/service-page/free-consult?referral=service_list_widget ________________________________________ About Daniel: Daniel offers a practical approach to inner growth that combines nondual teachings with modern therapeutic practices.

Spiritual Awakening, sometimes called enlightenment, is simply realizing our true nature: the felt sense that we are the cosmos, and the cosmos is us. When we are connected in this way, we become a channel for the universe to flow through us. It liberates us from our cramped personal identities and we become capable of immense compassion, total freedom, and profound peace. This union with Everything is the central teaching of all mystical traditions. But actually living this truth can be difficult, destabilizing, and even frightening — especially if our ego mind is not ready to let go. ________________________________________ IMAGE CREDIT: https://www.flickr.com/photos/spacewil/with/6018205876

A lot of critiques I've heard about Buddhism are that it feels like you're disengaging from life. And I believe many people are initially attracted to this path as an escape from life. But the real result of Buddhism, or spiritual awakening in general, is not about sitting perfectly for hours on end with a silly little smile on your face, disengaged from the world. in fact, it's about engaging life in full presence. Eyes wide open. As Jean-Luc Picard would say: "Engage!" – Daniel Lev Shkolnik ________________________________________ Sign up for a free consult: https://www.stableawakening.com/service-page/free-consult?referral=service_list_widget ________________________________________ About Daniel: Daniel offers a practical approach to inner growth that combines nondual teachings with modern therapeutic practices.

It is incredibly clever and incredibly persistent. It is like a shape-shifter that can take on any number of forms—except the form of true consciousness. In this video I talk about how we can drop below the turbulent, thinking mind down into consciousness, which is as quiet as the depths of the ocean. – Daniel Lev Shkolnik ________________________________________ About Daniel: Daniel offers a practical approach to inner growth that combines nondual teachings with modern therapeutic practices.

Why should you do ritual practices? In fact, why do temples, monasteries, ashrams, and various spiritual traditions rely so much on structure and strict limitations? Structure is powerful in spirituality. The bounds of structure allows us to approach what is boundless. Spiritual awakening, or nonduality, is the substance that no container can contain. So it's all the more important to have a steady boat when you set out into the empty waters of the absolute. Eventually, you'll have to give up the boat, too. But don't jump out too early. – Daniel ________________________________________ About Daniel: Daniel offers a practical approach to inner growth that combines nondual teachings with modern therapeutic practices.
