In this podcast Bernhard and Laura propose the question “Do you really want to awaken or just be comfortable in your dream state?” and how “enlightenment is a destructive process” as it may introduce us to difficult truths; and how certain components of character are necessary to have in order to go through this process.
In the 4th episode of the Cosmic Matrix podcast, Laura and Bernhard discuss spiritual integrity and what it means to engage in inner and outer work. Many well-meaning “truth seekers” are overly focused on the external world while lacking a balance of sincere inner work and embodiment. On the other side of the coin, there is the New Age trap of too much “self-work” resulting in narcissistic tendencies, whereas people are overly focused on their internal experience without understanding the world around them, which often results in solipsism.
