The Addiction to Knowing What You Are
La adicción a saber lo que eres
This session explores the mind's addictive pull toward constructing and maintaining a known sense of self, and how that obsession creates a cage of narrative and identity. Through meditation and dialogue, participants examine the layers of reactivity, shadow, and the archetypal wound of 'not good enough' at the core of the self. The teacher guides students toward directly savoring uncomfortable sensations rather than narrating them, revealing that beneath the protective layers of identity lies an emptiness that is actually freedom.
