In the eastern philosophy, there is a concept of Maya. Maya means illusion. Maya is not something external. Maya is something which takes root within our consciousness. She goes inside different places, and she causes us to create an aberration of reality. Illusion is outside of ourselves, and it is projected unto us. And there is an illusion within us, and when we look outside with it, we see something which is not there. Illusion works in both ways. Outside, the illusion is there, and within us, it is there as well. A lot of spiritual practices are about refining the ego and purifying the ego. 
In Vedic Wisdom we do not try to annihilate the ego, rather, we work on understanding who we truly are. Ego is a sense of who I am. There is a false ego and a true ego. The false ego is "I am Indian, I am American, I am European, I am 6 feet tall, I am black, I am white, I am a man, I am a woman," etc… Those are temporary egos. When time takes away all of this, what is left? That is the real ego. In the Vedic tradition, we break the illusion within by removing the false ego. At the same time, when we see the world, we don’t see the illusory world because we look through the true ego. So, when we have purified our ego of any sense of illusion, then when we look around we cannot be tricked by illusion anymore. The illusion is projected unto us. The programming we were born into, the religion, the culture, the parents etc…, All that societal stuff is an illusion! This whole thing is like a dream. And of course our understanding of how the world works is also an illusion. We discover our own path along the way. So when something makes sense to us, we just take that road. A lot of religions will take you along a path to a certain point, but the dogma often does not make sense. Eastern philosophies such as the Vedic Wisdom coming from the Vedas, make more sense. We are born into a construct, an illusion, but we begin to seek out, and we find the path which makes sense. When you keep on telling lies, and call it truth it becomes a so-called culture. And when that culture is perpetuated from one generation to the next, it becomes a so-called tradition, and people born in that fake tradition decide their goals and aspirations from the platform of that so-called culture, and they are just living a lie.

I want to learn to stay in my own energy and never leave myself again. Which program do you advise that does that? The love challenge? Or The shift membership? Or something else? Love to hear your reply! 🩷

Do you seemingly have a successful life in your career, for example, or maybe you have a good stable job or something of that nature, something that many others would die to have, and yet you have this external success, you still feel empty. Well let me tell you: if you relate to that then read on because I am going to explain why this is. Whenever you have external success it doesn't mean you're going to be happy and mostly that's because of the main reason why people are still unhappy despite external successes: 1. They were motivated by the wrong desire. 2. They're not prioritising their mental health. Let me explain. 1. What I mean by that is that people, when chasing success in a career or a business for example, will often use trauma to motivate them for that. They use it in such a way where it's destructive to them, not productive, and this is not good. This means that even despite success they still feel that emptiness inside them because it goes deeper than that. It goes to trauma. 2. They often sacrifice mental health in order to create the success. This means they don't prioritise, for example, trauma healing, healing anxiety, and depression. They'd often refer to it as "oh that's cringe" or something, right? But If they just did, for example, some meditation for 5 minutes a day, if they do gratitude journaling and write down one thing they're grateful for, and do some basic exercise and get some sunlight in their eyes and eat clean day after day, and they also heal their trauma, then they would actually feel happy, right? They should still be doing that on the journey to success also, and for the rest of their lifes, this will create more results too not just happiness. Thank you for reading. Hope it was valuable.
