Dr. Nicole Worldaw in Conversation with Ilona Ciunaite
Sentient author Nicole Wordlaw was a recent guest on the Awakening Now podcast with Ilona Ciunaite. It's a conversation you won't want to miss!
Ilona Ciunaite is the author of Liberation Unleashed and co-founder of the Liberation Unleashed community, where thousands of people have explored the process of seeing through the sense of a separate self. She is also the host of the Awakening Now podcast, where she talks with teachers, authors, and people further along the path, all in service of the genuine seeker who is actively in the process of waking up.
About the episode: Most people who find their way to a conversation like this one have been looking for a long time. Going from teacher to teacher, book to book, carrying a quiet picture in the mind of what it would feel like when it finally arrived. Nicole Wordlaw did that for years. And what she found was that she had to be tumbled by the water for a while, until it really shifted her into the woman who is more at peace standing alone. Nicole is a clinical psychologist and the author of Waking Up Alone, and in this conversation she traces what the seeking actually cost her. The teachers who reinforced the cage rather than helped her find the key. The image of awakening she had built without realising it, and how that image was the very thing keeping her from noticing what was already here. Nicole names it simply: the one who is seeking is not the one who awakens. The seeker believes there is somewhere else to go. For anyone still in that place, still waiting, Nicole closes with this. Treat yourself the way you would treat someone you really really really love. And wait.
