Description

“For some people when their ego dissolves, a new self arises inside them, a new identity arises like a phoenix from the ashes of that ego and that new self is always a spirituality awakened high functioning self.” --- Steve TaylorIn this episode of @mysevenchakras, our host AJ and Steve Taylor covered topics such as spiritual awakening, traumatic experience, the meaning and significance of suffering, the importance of detachment and the true nature of the soul….Steve Taylor, PhD, is the author of Extraordinary Awakenings and many other bestselling books. He’s a senior lecturer in psychology at Leeds Beckett University and the chair of the Transpersonal Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society. Steve’s articles and essays have been published in over 100 academic journals, magazines, and newspapers and he blogs for Scientific American and Psychology Today. To learn more about Steve Taylor visit www.stevenmtaylor.comKey Points Discussed I studied for a Master's Degree and I realized this is what I am interested in, this is my role, this is my purpose.

(25:58)There are actually two kinds of near-death experience. (26:39)Ego dissolution can take place through intense stress or through a long process of loss and detachment. (43:11)Life is always an adventure. Every experience we go through in life has a developmental effect on us. Every experience deepens us, widens us that's why old people often have special wisdom. (45:26)There’s certainly a parallel between psychosis and spiritual awakening. (47:11)Life in this world, in this body, is an incredibly precious and fragile gift, so we gotta appreciate it. (54:41)In a few years, we will realize that we have undergone some post-traumatic growth.
