Awaken Heal and Thrive‪!‬ Benjamin Bernstein

Many spiritual paths teach that you have to kill your ego to attain spiritual awakening. But holding this belief is virtually certain to provoke massive resistance from your ego and your numerous subpersonalities. (Which we all have.)
In this nine-minute episode, I invite you to consider a faster and easier strategy that’s worked well for me: invite your ego to become happily housebroken!

How can you tell whether you're being challenged by a dark entity … or if the challenge is coming from one of your own wounded parts?
I initially covered this topic In Episode 4 of this podcast, which I recorded way back in October 2022. Then, a year and a half later, one of my Awakening Plus members brought up this subject during one of our “Ask Us Anything” events. 
Our conversation was so interesting that I based this 15-minute episode on it. (With my member’s permission, of course.) I do say some similar things in both episodes, but there are plenty of fresh insights here.
Join us to learn how to distinguish between dark entities and wounded parts … and deal with them effectively!
CORRECTION: In this episode, I say that Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) tends not to speak openly about dark entities ("critters"). But I've since been alerted to a recent book by Robert Falconer called The Others Within Us: Internal Family Systems, Porous Mind, and Spirit Possession. This book even has a foreword by Richard Schwartz, the founder of IFS. I'm glad to see that the IFS community is now discussing dark entities more openly!

How can you help reduce racism, casteism, and other sources of discord in the world? You can start by understanding which of the six levels of consciousness – from self-centered to universal – you're at right now. 
Then you can do your inner work to keep upgrading your level of awareness, which radiates out and affects everyone else. In this eleven-minute episode, I discuss this and other ways to help make the world (and your life) more harmonious!

What kind of fool would dare a powerful plant spirit teacher like ayahuasca to give him her best shot?
That fool was me, back in June of 2009.
This is the story of how Mother Ayahuasca responded to my impudence with a challenging ceremony that taught me some much-needed humility. Yet, in the midst of overwhelming intensity, she was still kind enough to give me some ecstatic experiences and critical insights.
A few of these insights concerned my sexuality, and I share those near the end of my tale. I’ll give you a heads up before I start on that topic, so you can listen without concerns about sensitive subject matter until then.

How did getting diagnosed with candida launch me into an extraordinary breakthrough? 
In this special 20-minute episode, I describe the life-transforming changes I’ve been enjoying from the ketotarian/anti-candida diet I've been on for the last month. They include 20 pounds of effortless weight loss, sharper memory, boosted vitality, consistent equanimity, and the disappearance of anxiety and depression.
This experience has given me a much deeper respect for the profound impact of my food choices on my mind, body, emotions, and everything else. Even if keto isn’t on your menu, this episode should give you plenty of food for thought!
