You Are Not What You Think – Conscious TV Interview
In 2014, I had the pleasure of traveling to London to speak with Iain McNay from Conscious TV about my own spiritual awakening at the age of 29. We discuss the struggles, insights, and experiences that led up to it—and the simple truth that the treasure we seek has always been available in the present moment.
From childhood, I was driven by the desire for enlightenment, aware early on that the voice in my head wasn’t truly “me.” This journey included terrifying glimpses of no-self, panic attacks, and depression. Eventually, letting go of the relentless quest for enlightenment and simply focusing on living brought relief—and ultimately, the experience that ended my search.
As I describe it in the interview: “There’s just the impersonal flow of awareness being everything without exception, no way to get it and no way to get out of it. It basks in the ordinary and mundane as well as the fireworks.”
