Letting Go of the Ego and the False Self: John Purkiss on How and Why to Drop Everything to Find Pure Consciousness

In this podcast, I have the great pleasure of speaking with John Purkiss who wrote the bestselling book “The Power Of Letting Go: How To Drop Everything That’s Holding You Back” which focuses on “letting go” and how it can bring you not only better health, happier relationships, more creativity, and greater prosperity but how it can also connect you with pure and supreme consciousness. We talk about the different notions and conceptions of the ego both in the Western and Eastern traditions, how as a body-mind we tend to identify with our job titles and roles, with what we do instead of who we are deep inside as well as the role and the importance of intuition. As John explains, spiritual practices like meditation, mindfulness, and yoga not only clear our minds and help us better read, understand, and follow our intuition but they give us also a glimpse of a state of consciousness that is not bound and limited by the limiting and false self or ego. Moreover, he provides a three-step process that starts with simply being present and leads to immersing and merging oneself with pure consciousness on one’s path to enlightenment. To do so, John combines analysis with a more intuitive approach by unclutching thoughts, reliving and completing, and hence releasing and freeing ourselves from childhood trauma and emotional pain patterns.
