039 // Why Living Consciously & Authentically is the Antidote to Our Problems

Jun 21 2022 • 1 hr 38 mins

How do we live a good life? What is a good life? This question is one of the greatest philosophical questions and its answer is why RE SELF exists. We’re talking about how conscious, authentic living fosters contentment, meaning, and flourishing, i.e. the "what" and "how to" of living a good life, fully, and the link between one's good life and the Good of Being.

We start with equations for dissatisfaction and contentment (01:53), discerning what is inauthentic and unconscious within us (15:05) and nourishing our authenticity and conscious nature (24:42). We discuss how and why to create our authentic, handmade life (27:32). Then we dive into our birthright of living consciously and authentically (33:43), the complexity of being human and how each human’s authenticity empowers us (36:51). We look at the role of presence in conscious, authentic living, the hero’s journey (39:31), and the fulfillment of being authentic (48:35). How this enables our living in harmony with the deep truth of life, Oneness, ourselves as Oneness, and why this is life-changing to live it (55:24). We discuss how we live consciously and authentically (1:07:27), why RE SELF exists (1:32:48), and some ways to enact and integrate this conversation today (1:36:08).
