“Belonging is TRUE, it’s not up for debate, it’s a fundamental fact that we all belong to everything” - Sebene SelassieWelcome to Part 1 of the long-awaited interview with writer and meditation teacher Sebene Selassie. We introduce her book “You Belong - A Call for Connection” and her motivations for writing it. We discuss the fundamental fact of belonging and the paradox of belonging.
We later go on to look at the way that the world seems to be suffering from a “Delusion of separation” and how the way to wake up from that reality is to look inwards.
This was a very rich, insightful, and enlightening conversation about belonging with one of the world’s leading thinkers on the matter.
Key ideas we explore in this episode:How her book is not a map to belonging, but rather a “map key” where each one of us is expected to make our own maps. The Paradox of two truths: Even though we are not separate, we are not the sameThe delusion of separation: forgetting that we are all interconnected and part of the same realityWe touch on some of the systemic issues that have led us to forget the fundamental truth of belonging‘Mana’ the comparative mind and how it keeps ups in the delusion of separationWhy we must start with grounding ourselves BEFORE we can begin to know ourselvesHow cultivating “embodied awareness” can help us find our way back to belongingAnd much more…
