Episode notes
Everyday Human Traits Came Back After Awakening
- Simon experienced a five-month post-awakening return of ordinary traits like irritability and grumpiness.
- Alexandra and Simon noticed these human reactions show up (child in bed, tiredness) but without long attachment or story.
Presence Remains While The Nervous System Still Reacts
- Simon says Kensho didn't erase the human nervous system; presence remains but preferences and reactions persist.
- He emphasizes there's no strong story or attachment to ups and downs, so emotions pass faster.
Approval Seeking Habits Fall Away Naturally
- Simon notes a subtle shift in humour and social behaviour where previously automatic teasing or approval-seeking now drops away.
- He attributes this to being led by an inner knowing rather than seeking external approval.
