How to Get to Know Your SELF – TPS579

In this episode, I am interviewed by my friend, Greg Harrington. We decided to do this after having a long discussion about aloneness, which was the topic of the previous podcast episode. We talked about that and then talked a lot about getting in touch with instructions from yourself.

Highlights

• We discussed the difference between loneliness and aloneness.
• Loneliness leads us to seek others and to be part of a tribe. Aloneness is a feeling of emptiness and separation from our self.
• People often look for God everywhere except within themselves. We have the power and we’re connected to everything.
• Greg: I’ve learned that I keep myself from self-discovery with busyness.
• Joan: It isn’t easy to move in a new direction.
• We talk about the search for meaning in our lives and why it’s important to connect to other people.
• Everyone’s path to their self is different. Every life and every path has value.
• We talk about the childhood experiences that perpetrate the feeling of aloneness.
• We also talk about getting in touch with your intuition and the process of sitting on the couch and waiting for instructions.
• Greg asks how we can tell the difference between our intuition and the noise in our head and learning how to wait.
• You're so unique no matter who you are, and you have something to offer the world. It's good to understand how things work.
• Don’t try to make things happen; allow them to happen.
