Are you a truth seeker? If you are, then you will find a kindred soul in David Medina, who has dedicated his life to the pursuit of the Absolute Truth. It’s a subject that I, too, find immensely interesting, so let’s dive into this path of examining life, studying consciousness, and discovering the nature of our existence.

Topics Discussed in this Episode:

• The meaning of Truth and why it’s important to be on this path to awakening
• What it means to distinguish between Absolute Truth and relative truth
• What ‘awakening’ truly is
• How to perceive that life is always going your way even after experiencing something painful
• Why we should embrace pain
• How to create ‘space’ in your life

Key Takeaways:

• It’s not always pleasant to have truth as your highest value.
• When you are curious and wondering about this thing called life and existence, and you’re asking all these questions, your mind becomes still because you really don’t know. You keep on asking and you become so present that you get to appreciate what’s in front of you.
• Nothing is absolute and everything is relative. The world we live in is all relative and ever-changing, not the absolute. The absolute is absolutely nothing.
• The absolute is when you’re in complete silence. It’s in that space where nothing seems to be happening, nothing seems to be going on. But if you have the courage to stay there a bit longer in that space called ‘nothing’, if you look very carefully, that’s where you can find everything.
• Going on this path to awakening is not so much about being a witness of life and just witnessing what’s happening. It’s feeling life and being life itself. It’s feeling life’s complexities of feelings and emotions that are not always pleasant. And that’s the beauty of life, to feel the pain.
• Living life to the fullest is the biggest risk that you could ever take because it’s fully opening your heart to what life has to offer.
• In every experience, you’ve ever been through is gold, is wisdom, is something you can use, is pure life within you, and you get to choose how you want to relate to that and what you want to do with it.
• When you allow yourself to be with your pain, that’s a sign of self-love.
• When you acknowledge that life sucks, sometimes it feels like it sucks less.
• True change only happens when you embrace exactly who you are, when you embrace everything about yourself, even the things that you don’t like and don’t want to look at. It’s a lasting change because it’s a change that comes from freedom.

Action Steps:

• Create a detachment to realize that you are not your thoughts and your feelings. You are before and beyond your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
• Realize every single feeling you’ve ever felt in your life.
• Realize that it’s not about life happening to you but for you.
• Have a sense of wonder about the experience of being. Slow down and be curious about what life is.

Thank you for listening!

 

Quotes:

“Truth is the absolute. It’s that which encapsulates everything, every relative truth. Because there are many layers from which we can just think and express but there’s only one Truth that is absolute.” -- David Medina

“The easiest thing to take for granted is your own existence, your own life. Everything else is predicated upon that, including your own problems. So we slow down first, we take a deep breath, and we generally see that we are life on this planet, that we woke up today.” -- David Medina
