The Awakening Journey: Aspiration, Surrender and Grace.



The spiritual path, like life, offers different routes to different people. The ‘Endless Possibilities Podcast’, hosted by the insightful duo, Eva and Gareth, consistently embodies this notion. They share their unique spiritual journeys with their audience and discuss various concepts, from the components of awakening to energy transmissions, engaging techniques, and much more.



During one of their recent podcast sessions, the pair elaborated on three components of awakening – burning aspiration, willingness to surrender, and receiving grace. Aspiration, as they define it, refers to an inner desire to explore something more profound, a quest for undeniable truth. Surrendering, on the other hand, often poses challenges as it comes with a fear of the unknown. The final piece of the puzzle is grace, which they percieve in various forms such as opportune encounters or wisdom filled books.


In the spiritual domain, personal experiences hold a place of great importance. A fascinating example of this was when Gareth shared a man's near-death experience. The man, after surviving a heart attack and being clinically dead for a breathless 10-15 minutes, awoke with haunting memories of a security guard marked by the numbers '3456'. Eerily enough, those same numbers were discovered to be associated with an actual security guard sat out side the operating room. This was the start of his journey, raising intriguing questions about what exists beyond life and the veil of death.


Through their podcast, Eva and Gareth also delve deep into the complexities of spiritual energy. They reveal that not being able to feel energy doesn’t imply that you’re not receiving the transmission. Tender encouragement is given to listeners that the nervous system refines over time and with repeated experiences, leading to enhanced sensitivity. Energy, in the words of Gareth, is subtly hidden in every experience, every encounter.


Another topic of interest in their recent discourse was the TT technique, a regime for the soul which combines breathwork and visualization. As ardent practitioners, the pair shared their experiences with it. For Eva, it was a challenging ride, marked by discomfort, whereas Gareth found it beneficial, empowering his energy body with newfound vigor.



However, dedication, revealed Gareth, plays a critical role in the success of this practice. It demands commitment with unwavering discipline, and the extreme practices that Gareth undertook like ice baths and fasting for three months underpin his tenacity.


On the contrary, Eva's spiritual journey involved less extreme practices, shedding light on the varied ways one can venture into the spiritual realm. For her, the ebbing away of desires over time came by immersing in an activity one loves, a practice often termed as Darshan in spiritual terminology. This highlights beautifully that different routes can lead to the same spiritual destination, neither less worthy than the other.


Their candid sharing of personal experiences doesn't, however, shadow the larger discussion of awakening and the concept of deconstruction of the human identity. Eva and Gareth describe human identity as an energy construct built around belief structures and habitual patterns. Awakening involves navigating through this labyrinth, disintegrating the structures, and finally, achieving a state of liberation, a newfound freedom.



An episode of this podcast is a journey through spiritual insights, introspective musings, and abundant positivity. From discussing the Bhagavad Gita's language simplification for Western audiences to introducing complex concepts like reincarnation or karma and their refined perceptions, the conversations are designed to redefine the spiritual realm for the audience.


The hosts, with their raw, honest personal stories and thought-provoking concepts, are certain to keep churning the wheels of spiritual thought. With a range of future episodes and guests planned, the Endless Possibilities Podcast holds the promise of a continued exploration into the vast, unexpressed expanses of spirituality.


There's a final takeaway for everyone embarking on a spiritual journey - be patient with yourself. Aspiration grows enormously with time, and spiritual shifts may not be perfect. But the embodiment in the present moment, physical self-care, trust in the path, and a constant willingness to learn can go a long way in your spiritual journey. As aptly put by our hosts, in spirituality, the focus is not merely on reaching the destination but cherishing every moment of the journey.
