1 小时 4 分钟The work is really just about transforming our relationship to the world.
When we transform our relationship, it's not that the world just instantly changes.
It means that I have an agency in how I'm choosing to react to the world, to the forces around me.
Your concern for others deepens because you begin to realize that not a lot of people have reached this level that you've reached.
I choose to return back to places to help people come out of the same kinds of suffering that I was able to come out of.
I only did that because there were people who came back and got me and because I realized what has been done for me.
Then I also am ethically mandated to offer that same help to others.
So have you ever felt trapped by the weight of your own thoughts and beliefs?
Or maybe struggled to find freedom from difficult emotions like anger, grief, or heartbreak?
In today's deep dive conversation, we explore two powerful practices for untangling the roots of our suffering and unlocking our truest, most liberated selves.
So my guests today are Byron Cady and Lama Rod Owens, two deeply inspiring teachers who have walked the path of radical self inquiry and transformation.
Byron Cady's profound awakening in 1986 sparked the development of the work, her simple yet life changing method that really helps question the thoughts that cause our suffering that I often turn to myself and reference.
Lamarat Owens is a buddhist teacher who weaves together his experiences as a black queer man with buddhist teachings on spiritual liberation.
So from the intersection of identities, hes created this approach called radical dharma, that shows how to tenderly hold our anger and heartbreak as fuel for awakening.
And in their powerful and contrasting journeys, both Byron, Katie, and Lamourat have discovered how to radically question the beliefs and narratives that keep us trapped in cycles of pain and their sharing insights and practices and deeply personal stories to help you find clarity amidst life's confusions and choose freedom in every present moment.
So excited to share this conversation with you.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
Hey.
Our first guest today is Byron Cady, whose profound awakening in 1986 showed her a way to liberate herself from the suffering caused by her thoughts at the bottom of a decade long spiral into depression and self loathing.
Byron woke up one morning in a state of profound joy and clarity, and she realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered.
