Ep 252 Adam Keen – Understanding Self Through Yoga

Adam explores the fundamental definitions of yoga, emphasizing it as a process of subtraction rather than addition. He contrasts Eastern and Western philosophies regarding self-perception and the inherent nature of individuals, highlighting the confusion that arises from overcomplicating our experiences.

Adam Shares

· Yoga is fundamentally about subtraction, not addition.

· Eastern philosophy views us as inherently whole.

· Western philosophy believes we are lacking and need to add more.

· The confusion in our lives comes from adding too much.

· Self-awareness is key to understanding our true nature.

· The essence of yoga is clarity and simplicity.

· Philosophical differences shape our understanding of self.

· We often complicate our experiences unnecessarily.

· True understanding comes from seeing ourselves as we are.

· Yoga helps in removing the layers of confusion.
