011: The Quest for Truth: Our Journey Home with Preston Bryant

In this episode, we welcome Preston Bryant - a dedicated psychospiritual coach, writer, and artist who empowers individuals to embrace a state of integrated wholeness through a transformative method known as “Self-embodied recognition.” With a Master’s degree in philosophy, cosmology, and consciousness from CIIS, he draws inspiration from eastern philosophy, creativity, and the pursuit of authentic self-expression. A whole Soul Share dedicated to exploring the concept and experience of discovering Truth, we recognize that no matter what, the Truth is here to set us free and bring us home.

 

You'll notice Preston and I share many commonalities, and so this conversation really brings through a certain depth I enjoyed so much and found extremely fulfilling. Many of us might resonate with feeling a deep inner yearning to know truth, or resonate with the path of seeking - whether that seeking was truth, freedom, love, wholeness, peace, purpose. Regardless of the subject, we discover that all these seeking paths really lead us home, to the home that is Truth.

 

So, what is Truth? Who are we in Truth? What gets in the way of knowing ourselves as we truly are? And experiencing the embodied knowing that allows us to live out these essence truths accordingly? In this Soul Share, we muse on these inquiries throughout the episode, where we reveal that both of our journeys of "waking-up" to larger awareness of Self really began with the willingness to meet Truth, whether that Truth was terrifying and destructive, or liberating and comforting.

 

Preston shares his riveting story of awakening that began it all, where after that, there was no turning back to the familiar, and his life after this moment became a devotion to that unveiling mystery. We also discuss themes like the components of an authentic mystical experience/awakening, our journeys of coming into writing & poetry, why creativity & self-expression is essential, being with the plague of perfectionism & how our thoughts gets us humans into trouble, as well as tangible tools to take with you for accessing the embodiment of Self. 

 

As always, we get raw and real with our experiences with you about the journey of existential becoming mystical, our pain that moves us into connection with something much bigger than us, embracing the full-spectrum of our humanity, and liberating the mysterious path of our unique expression and authentic soul service in the world. 

 

Preston also shares a poem at the end - "Let Me Be Grateful" that you won't want to miss. OOOPH!
