    #151 The Self is an Illusion with Zac Russell

    In this episode, we talk to Zac Russell. He focuses on quality of life, value to humanity and giving back. Zac lives in Canada.  Zac tells us about sitting on commas throughout his life with living in the future and never knowing peace, contentment and presence. Zac shares about experiencing fear, anger and other emotions as a result of living an ego-driven life. He was so focused on future and identifying with pursuit of perfection, he couldn’t even recognize the commas this created for him. In pursuit of answers and relief, he consumed knowledge (and more) to satisfy his cravings. Over time, he began to reflect and build awareness, leading ultimately to a way of being that asks questions and recognizes self awareness. Tune in to hear what Zac means when he says “no matter what I achieved, it was still empty”.
