Welcome to the fourth episode of Impressions—The Art of Relating. Recorded during a transformative retreat in Australia in 2018, this episode explores the deep and essential question: Is it possible to love others without first loving ourselves? Drawing from the Sattva Connect course, we journey into the dynamics of love, perception, and the ego's role in distorting our understanding of self-worth.
This episode delves into how self-hatred, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy are born from ego-driven beliefs, leading to a distorted view of love. We explore the layers of the mind—Chitta, Buddhi, Manas, Ahamkara—and how they shape our experiences. By understanding the mind's workings and recognising the ego's influence, we can dissolve harmful self-narratives and move toward states of greater awareness and enlightenment.
Through practice, we can stabilise our inner dialogue, shift our internal content, and experience love as an intrinsic part of who we are—free from the ego’s hold. Tune in to explore the path to self-compassion, observe patterns of self-loathing, and discover how deeper awareness can transform our capacity to love authentically and fully.
