E160 - Aaron Abke: 3 Hidden Beliefs That Keep You Miserable (and How to Break Free)

What if the very beliefs you’ve carried your whole life are the source of your suffering? In this episode, Aaron Abke returns to share insights on the ego, breaking down its three core beliefs that keep us trapped in cycles of fear, lack, and control. He explains how our misunderstanding of the ego causes unnecessary suffering—and how, when seen clearly, the ego can actually be an ally on the path of awakening.

Aaron guides us through the process of moving from compulsivity to consciousness, releasing the illusion of lack, and embracing a deeper abundance that is not dependent on external circumstances.
