69 Azaza: Releasing the Guilt Around Privilege and Other Hard Conversations

Hello and welcome to a thorny banger! This is honestly a very tricky topic to discuss as most folks can have a lot of built-up trauma around money, systemic power struggles, and perceptions with income classes that’s just got it good. As much as spirituality and Love steeps all things, very “societal” constructs: like classism and privilege are these very real karmic-imprints/thought-forms/collectively-shared-baggage that can’t be just philosophized away but is something that needs to be seen with utmost clarity, compassion and alchemy. A very human integration to say, spiritual experience.

Consider this podcast episode a primer to reflecting about one’s own privilege, how that shows up “karmically” for different folks, and how money-position-power can be something that is wielded with utmost compassion (while also clearing the imprints of how previous owners of these things, or nakagawian/nakasanayan ways of doing things) can also really offer a giant shift and deep deep freedom.

This ep is partially in taglish!, some cussing too
