Rediscovering the Self Behind the Doing. In this powerful episode of "Voices of the One Mind", we explore the subtle yet profound difference between doing and being. The human "being" is not passive-it still acts, but from a space of conscious presence. In contrast, the human "doing" runs blindly in a loop of tasks, performance, and fear-often until collapse. Through a guided meditation, reflection exercises, and deep inquiry, we invite you to:
In this deeply transformative episode, we unpack what it means to “die” in order to truly live — shedding ego, limiting stories, and attachments that keep us trapped in suffering. Central to our conversation is the shadow side of the soul — how it’s only a part of the illusion that shapes our experience, and how embracing it leads to true integration and awakening. What you’ll discover in this episode: The profound meaning behind “You need to die to live” — letting go of ego and identity to access bliss Why the shadow side of the soul is just part of the illusion — and how to embrace it rather than fight it How the stories you tell yourself influence your perception and keep you stuck. The illusion of time: living fully in the present moment beyond past and future Understanding ego death through releasing desires, ambitions, and fears Why fear is a mental construct of the ego and how to transcend it. Connecting with your heart and the “naval consciousness” beyond mental cognition Facing and integrating difficult emotions like anger and shame with compassion. Why redirecting negative energy isn’t true healing—reflection and inquiry are key How suffering is part of the human experience and can be embraced without judgment The inseparable link between personal healing and collective awakening. If you’re ready to go beyond surface healing and dive into the core of your being, this episode offers deep insights and practical wisdom to guide your journey.
In this deep and provocative dialogue, Bear Saorin & Zen Monk Kosho unravel the complex illusion of identity – as something constantly shaped and reshaped by our memories, cultural conditioning, psychological patterns, and the stories we absorb from society. They explore how roles, spiritual titles, gender labels, and social personas often masquerade as “self,” creating a fragile sense of meaning that can quickly collapse under pressure. The conversation moves beyond surface-level debates to address a deeper crisis: a global disorientation of identity intensified by algorithms, media manipulation, and the psychological hunger for belonging. The speakers challenge the idea that identity – whether spiritual, social, or personal – is something to be claimed or declared & point to a deeper awareness that emerges when one steps out of self-identification and into embodied presence. Critiquing the seduction of spiritual performance, youth culture, and online affirmation, they expose how clinging to identity becomes a subtle form of insanity – a safe psychological comfort zone that disconnects us from the rawness and wisdom of lived experience. This isn’t just philosophy – it’s a direct reflection of a fractured world, where the self is constantly fragmented and reassembled by trends, ideologies, and digital filters. And yet, amid the confusion, the speakers suggest that this crisis of identity may be necessary: a passage through chaos that could ultimately point us back to something more real, more whole, and less divided.

Spiritual Add-Ons explores the deeper connections between energy, consciousness, and how these forces shape the world around us. This episode is a leisure conversation between Kosho Sama Zen Monk & Bear Saorin into the concept of spiritual upgrades that transcend the physical and mental realms—touching on mindfulness, nature’s purity, and the subtle energies that influence everyday life. The conversation uncovers how simple things like water and words hold powerful vibrations, subtly guiding experiences and interactions. Reconnecting with nature’s flow, living in harmony with the environment, and embracing its pure energy are key to unlocking profound spiritual shifts. It also dives into how emotions and stories shape perception and reality. When caught in the narratives created by the mind, the true essence of being is often forgotten. Awakening occurs when these limiting beliefs are released, revealing the possibility of expansion in every moment. The path to spiritual growth lies in breaking old patterns, embracing ancient wisdom, and understanding how these spiritual add-ons can lead to a more authentic, expanded self. Mindful living, aligning with life’s flow, and creating inner transformation become essential in fostering lasting change from within.
In this deeply transformative episode, we dive into the essence of inner work—a practice not of doing, but of undoing. So often, we are taught that spiritual growth requires effort and achievement, but true awakening comes from simply releasing the layers of conditioning that separate us from our authentic self. Through the lens of pure awareness, we explore how the simple act of observing—without judgment or attachment—can lead to profound clarity and peace. This episode emphasises the power of reconnecting with nature as a way to reset and cleanse the mind. We discuss the sacred practice of sitting in stillness by a creek, observing the flow of water, feeling the texture of a stone, and fully immersing ourselves in the beauty and simplicity of the natural world. By allowing ourselves to be present in these moments, free from the overwhelming stimulations of modern life, we open the door to a clearer, more expansive mind. We also delve into the ancient practices of solitude, fasting, and purification, highlighting how they serve as pathways to deeper self-awareness and spiritual transformation. These rituals—when approached with intention—allow us to shed the distractions and rediscover the stillness within, where true happiness, peace, and wisdom reside. Join us as we unravel the sacred process of undoing, and explore how surrendering to the present moment can help you unlock the infinite peace and clarity that are already within you.
What is life? In this profound spiritual conversation, we expose the illusion of survival—the unconscious cycle that keeps most people, regardless of wealth or status, trapped in a relentless pursuit of external validation and fleeting pleasures. But true peace, true living, is never found outside—it can only be realized within. Are you defining yourself by your body, struggles, and external circumstances? Or are you rooted in the infinite, unshakable essence of your true self? We explore: ✨ How most of humanity unknowingly creates their own enslavement to the system ✨ The illusion of fulfillment—why money, relationships, and achievements never bring lasting peace ✨ The 3D world as a sacred challenge, designed to push the soul toward expansion ✨ The path to true tranquility—detaching from the finite and aligning with the infinite. This episode invites you to see beyond the physical—to recognize life as an earth walk of transformation, where challenges are simply part of the grand play. The question remains: Are you merely surviving, or are you truly living? spiritual podcast, cosmic consciousness, self-realization, spiritual growth, oneness, consciousness podcast, awakening podcast, higher consciousness, divine wisdom podcast, metaphysical podcast
How to shift from 3D to 5D? Here is the secret! In this profound episode, we explore the nature of the ego and its powerful influence on our perception of reality. The ego thrives on separation, fear, and the illusion of control, leading us to believe we are disconnected from the wholeness of existence. It fuels stories of lack, comparison, and attachment, trapping us in cycles of suffering. But what if we could dissolve this illusion and experience life as it truly is—whole, interconnected, and free? The ego operates through perceptual thinking, causing us to see the world through the lens of division—self vs. others, past vs. future. But what if we transcended these limitations? What if we recognised the deep interconnectedness of all things? True awareness begins when we let go of the ego’s grip and embrace the oneness that connects us all. As we shift from egocentric consciousness to higher states of awareness—ethnocentric, planetary, and eventually kosmic—we begin to expand our perception beyond the limitations of the mind. In this state, the illusion of separation dissolves, and we awaken to a life of love, peace, and harmony. Ascension, as we’ll explore in this episode, isn’t about reaching a distant mystical dimension—it’s about a shift within ourselves. The mind operates in 3D, grounded in separation and limitation, while the heart resonates with 5D—a space of unity, love, and infinite possibility. The true ascension is the movement from mind-based thinking to heart-centred living. In this episode, we’ll dive deep into how we can break free from the ego’s control, align with the natural flow of the universe, and experience life as a harmonious, interconnected whole. Are you ready to let go of the ego, dissolve the illusion of separation, and step into your true nature of love and oneness?
