Exploring Identity, Spirituality and Divine Love

In this episode of the EZ Conversations podcast, host Furkhan welcomes Troy, an experienced yoga teacher from Trinidad and Tobago, to discuss the intricacies of identity, labels, and spirituality. The conversation covers the consequences of attaching too strongly to societal labels and how this can lead to suffering. They dive into the concept of a higher power beyond religious structures and the importance of redefining one's beliefs. Troy shares his experiences with meditation, religious teachings, especially his connection with Christ outside of organized religion, and the transformative power of divine love, free from fear and shame. The discussion also highlights the significance of understanding the collective spiritual existence, self-preservation, forgiveness, and recognizing the divine in everyone. Troy introduces his book, 'My Name is Love,' and shares how listeners can connect with him further through his website and Instagram. Troy Hadeed was born in Trinidad, wrote his first letter to the editor at age 10, has taught yoga internationally for over 15 years, and founded several successful businesses, including a hemp store, a waste oil recycling business, and a yoga studio. He has walked coast-to-coast across Central America, navigated the world on a ship, spent prolonged periods in silence, and continuously sought to make sense of the human experience. In all things, Troy hopes that his life will assist others in rediscovering a relationship with the God of their understanding while inspiring people to embody more compassion, knowledge, and love. 03:27 Welcome and Introduction 03:51 Exploring Identity and Labels 05:13 The Concept of God and Religion 06:41 The Impact of Opinions and Beliefs 15:35 Meditation and Spiritual Journey 17:47 The Essence of Identity and Separation 28:25 The Immortality of Influence 29:39 Exploring Identity and Ego 31:38 Redefining God and Spirituality 34:56 The Role of Love in Divine Connection 39:09 Yoga and the Practice of Surrender 50:41 The Importance of Forgiveness and Understanding 53:15 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Sponsors of the Podcast: BetterHelp: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://betterhelp.com/ez10⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for 10% off your first month of therapy WeShape: https://weshape.postaffiliatepro.com/scripts/dcfogwyuk?a_aid=FurkhanDandia&a_bid=d7508fa8 for 35% all plans.
