Ep. 495 – Selfistry with Sarah Marshank

Exploring the wisdom of Selfistry, Sarah Marshank joins to share her spiritual journey through the lens of Ram Dass's teaching of "from role to soul."

"There is a place that's always here that's in us and that holds us, that is 'okayness.' It's a relief to finally land there. And from there, to feel happy and sad, and witness the horrors as well as the exquisite beauty of the world, and feel okay with all of it. It's that dance—to know that everything is fundamentally okay and to address all the fucked up things in the world at the same time. Those are not mutually exclusive." – Sarah Marshank

In this episode, Raghu and Sarah mindfully explore:

• Stories and themes from Sarah's new memoir, Being Selfish: My Journey from Escort to Monk to Grandmother
• Sarah growing up in the religious container of Judaism, and how meditation helped her come to spirituality
• Ram Dass's teachings of role to soul, and cultivating the witness
• How Sarah came up with the term "selfistry" through playing with self and no-self

• How Ram Dass's teaching of "loving awareness" is synonymous with "soul" as well as "okayness"
