Embracing life's dance: A conversation on chaos, calm, and the human condition with Shiv Sengupta

'Nobody has a handle on this thing called life. Life is a dance you learn to engage with on a day to day basis'. Shiv Sengupta is an author and teacher who I discovered over on Substack. He has a really fascinating perspective on life, spirituality, and the human experience. As a young man Shiv had a transformative experience he had that led him to question a lot of the common ideas around self-improvement and awakening. He shares his views on the role of chaos and calm in life, and why he believes embracing life as it is, rather than constantly striving to be better, is so important. We discuss: Shiv's unique perspective on the role of chaos and calm in lifeThe limitations of self-improvement and the importance of self-acceptanceShiv's personal story of a transformative experience and its impact on his spiritual journeyThe relationship between meditation, suffering, and spiritual awakeningShiv's nuanced views on metaphysics and the nature of consciousnessThe definition of enlightenment as the ability to see with clarity in the present momentInsights on embracing the ups and downs of life without attachment to outcomesShiv's substack: https://shivsengupta.substack.com/My links:Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/bookYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundieWebsite: simonmundie.comSubstack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/🔗 Free course on beating burnout and finding flow: https://www.simonmundie.com/beat-burnout-mini-course Hosted on Acast.
