In This Interview, Cheri Huber and I Discuss...
The Wolf Parable
Her book, I Don't Want To, I Don't Feel Like It: How resistance controls your life and what to do about it
How the process IS the outcome
That now is the only moment there is
How the quality of your life is determined by the focus of your attention
Everything comes into being, together
She doesn't believe that there's anything that ISN'T God
Our dualistic thinking
All of the ways to refer to the ego
The unique ability that humans have to experience themselves as other than life
The ego is a survival system
Believing we are not connected to life
Everything is a verb! A gerund
The illusion of being separate from life
My ego is the no to life's yes
Always asking what's lacking, what's missing, what's wrong keeps the ego as the center of the universe
How we are deeply conditioned for negativity
Awareness being able to watch the conditioned mind
I hear it in my head, it sounds like me, it must be me, it's who I am
Approach the stuff that's going on inside our heads by imagining that it's somebody next to you saying it
Recording and Listening
Make recordings of what's true, what I appreciate, what I love
Hearing what's true for you in your own voice
Talking ourselves into a life that's true
How we direct our attention is the be all and end all in life
We have these tendencies to see what's negative so we need to bring ourselves to what is true that isn't negative
We transcend the conditioned mind, we don't resist it
The key is to turn your attention away from the negative voices not to change what they are saying
The habit of going with the conversation in your head is so powerful
If we can wake up out of it, we can decide to go somewhere else in our attention
Hear Cheri Huber talk about her book,  I Don't Want To, I Don't Feel Like It: How resistance controls your life and what to do about it
Cheri Huber teaches that the process IS the outcome
Cheri Huber explains what she means by this: your ego is the "no" to life's "yes"
Do you believe that we are deeply conditioned for negativity or hardwired for negativity?
Here's a tip: Approach the stuff that's going on inside our heads by imagining that it's somebody next to you saying it
The quality of your life is determined by the focus of your attention
