What is awakening? If this question is alive in you, listen to my conversation with Ryan Burton. This is a deep dive. Ryan Burton, an awakening guide and meditation teacher, explains that awakening involves dissolving the self and dualistic perceptions, and is a cessation of the old way of seeing life.
I loved talking to Ryan as he was expressing from a place of wisdom with light humour, it made the conversation fresh.
We explored the nature of awakening, describing it as a shift from living in craving and dissatisfaction to experiencing profound peace and contentment.
Ryan shared his experiences with meditation retreats, describing moments of stillness and profound peace as foundational to his spiritual path. This path often involves personal suffering, which, in Burton’s case, included losing his father, leading him to deeper spiritual exploration.
Awakening, while offering bliss and clarity, also brings challenges as one's previous life attachments and mental patterns resurface, requiring release and acceptance. This intense transformation can feel like a "dark night" or detox of the mind, body, and spirit. A lot is happening after the shift!
We discuss the illusion of separateness and how deeply entrenched beliefs shape one’s experience of self and the world, with awakening providing an escape from such dualistic tendencies. Awakening is described as a realization that all aspects of life—the pleasant and the challenging—are simply manifestations of consciousness.
Additionally, the conversation touches on meditation's role in seeing things as they are, unclouded by preconceived beliefs, and the importance of allowing experiences to unfold without needing outcomes.
