Episode 262: Better

There are just a few spots remaining for the upcoming Awaken the One retreat, and I want to offer it to you, brothers. It’s exciting to do this retreat in particular with you, brothers, since it’s an initiation process where you can invest more deeply in who you are, rather than just going through the motions. This life-changing journey to Columbia kicks off on October 8th, so be sure to book now so that you have ample time to prepare before we set off. Today’s episode is all about betterment, brothers. Now, I\'m not suggesting that you need to change or be better. This idea of being \"better\" or wanting \"more\" is relative. In fact, I believe that the entire notion of \"betterment\" is just a marketing ploy, an illusion, a Ponzi scheme. Everywhere you go, you have advertising designed specifically to make you feel like you need to be better. And I’m not saying you shouldn’t try to do things that might enrich you, what I’m saying is that you should ask yourself “Why?” Because what does it even mean to be better? There’s no level of accumulation or betterment that can transform you into a concept that exists only in the realm of illusion. Brother, striving to be \'better\' is futile because the \'you\' we often refer to is just a narrative. If you aim to improve within that narrative, you\'re simply enhancing the story. In reality, by telling yourself you\'re inadequate, you\'re complicating your story, turning life into a game of constant betterment. It\'s a choice you\'ve made about life. But what if we could choose simplicity over complexity? Acceptance over betterment?  Join me as we unravel these thoughts and embark on a journey of deeper understanding. And don\'t forget about our upcoming retreat – it could be the transformative experience you\'ve been searching for. Listen now, and let\'s continue to elevate our alpha, together!
