Finding the true self under layers of beliefs fed to you in those formative years takes stillness, and consistent openness to what comes up. It's an interesting and profound process.

Beautifully said, Jocelyn! Yes, it all starts with that "stillness, and consistent openness." Without it, we can't see the layers we've built up. That's the space where we can question how those beliefs were formed and what keeps them running on repeat.

Thank you for sharing this. Appreciate you taking the time to read the article.

A good read and "Identity debt" names the spiritual hemorrhage & reframes modern work.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much, VedicSoul. This means a lot.

Beautifully put! "Spiritual hemorrhage" is such a vivid and accurate phrase.

Glad the idea of identity debt offered a helpful reframe. It’s something I’ve been wrestling with for a decent while.

Appreciate you taking the time to read this! 🙏

The point you make about attitude at the task& identity one brings (your ref: cleaners healers) is very true about most work.

Thank you so much! Appreciate you taking the time to read it.

I completely agree. The story we bring to the task can transform even the most routine work into something meaningful.
