EP33 What Difference Does it Make if We Mostly Focus on Goals, Purpose, or Meaning?

Three Ways of Focusing - Three Different LivesFor pedagogical purposes we imagine three different persons.  The first lives their lives by focusing on achieving goals.  The second has their focus on purpose.  And the third one on meaning.We discuss what types of differences arise as a result of this in their world views, in how they connect and interact with others, in how they view science, in their narrations of what is, and in who they believe they are.  We also look at where win-lose and win-win dynamics fit in.The three persons are fictitious but it is easy for us to tend to lean more towards one of them.  By choosing to allow the view and focus of the third person we automatically gain a number of advantages as to our mode of operation in the world and how we feel about it.  We are also given greater access to clarity, creativity, and imagination.By spending more time in the realm of pure Awareness, uncluttered by mind concepts, the door for identifying with it opens wider, and thus also our passage into a different way of functioning.If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for the podcast you can contact me on Instagram @BasiasThoughts.  And, of course, if you would like to see more content from me do sponsor me on https://www.patreon.com/basia because that will allow me to focus more on content creation.
