This week’s topic is not an easy one. First, because it’s a significant blindspot to how we experience reality itself, how we experience ourselves and each other. And second, because it’s the root to some of our greatest attachments in survival, so it may bring up a lot of activation for you.  So we’re talking about the greatest human addiction of all - the human story. We human beings are storytelling animals, and the mind itself is a storytelling mechanism. These stories not only define how we think and know of ourselves, but they literally colour and give us our entire experience of our reality, the stories of our family, of our ancestors, of our countries, of love. So let’s unpack this great human drug that are the stories that run us.  What is Covered:  -Why we need stories and how they are connected to our survival-How our attachment to stories block our longing for connection with others-Whose stories are running us and how we absorb them -Identification with stories and the illusion of identity-The alternative to holding on the stories and why we avoid it-The stories of countries and how they create our shared reality-Why we can compare stories to drugs-How we can begin to come out of this blindspot Resources: -Access our ’21 days of Expansion’ Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender
