SEPARATE SELF IS IMPOSSIBLE — and in this raw, unscripted satsang you’ll see why. We dismantle the final myth of awakening: the idea there’s someone here who must awaken. Drop the seeker, the doer and the thinker, and watch presence, joy and creative flow ignite on their own. Press play and let the insight land in real time!

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Nothing awakens because nothing was ever asleep
• “I choose” is merely a thought riding a pre-wired impulse — free will is felt, not factual
• Memory, emotion and resistance weave the story of me yet collapse on inspection
• Once separation is exposed as thought, compassion, creativity and fearlessness flow

👇 TRY THIS
Pause at 15:45, close your eyes and notice breathing. Does a breather appear, or is breathing simply happening? Repeat whenever the sense of I’m doing it re-asserts. Drop your insight and a timestamp in the comments!
