Episode Synopsis

What is your greatest contribution to the world?  How can you reach your highest potential, so that you can offer the very best of you?Oddly enough, this episode was inspired by a flying squirrel, on its way to realising its highest potential as a squirrel.In the two previous episodes we already talked about how opening ones heart, increasing ones sensitivity and ability to love is a path of freedom and is essential if we wish to find out what our highest potential is.  This is a path of love.In this episode we talk about what the path of discovering who you are, has to offer.  This is a path of knowledge, wisdom, and coupled with meditation it brings insight.  We also talk about the Ten Paramis (Generosity, Virtue, Renounciation, Wisdom, Energy, Patience, Truthfulness, Resolve, Loving kindness, and Equanimity), the Buddhist list of the ten Perfections, and how they can contribute to your life and the life of all who interact with you.  This path involves action, but not empty action, or action out of obligation.  Instead it is aligned action, where the action brings you a sense of expansion, freedom.  This is a path of action, or karma. The three paths lead us in the same direction.  All ultimately culminate in spiritual liberation, freedom.  They take us through our three ways of experiencing, through feeling, thinking, and perceiving.  The first starts with feeling and moves into love.  Love is perceived when we "feel" unity.  The second starts with thought and leads to awareness.  Awareness is when we "know" unity.  And the third starts with action and beauty.  This is when we are unity.These are the paths that lead us to being able to provide the world with our greatest contribution.If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions you can contact me on Instagram @BasiasThoughts.  And, of course, if you would like to see more content from me do sponsor me on https://www.patreon.com/basia because that will allow me to focus more on content creation.
