✨ Episode 3: See for Yourself — You Are Not Your Thoughts
In this meditative and heartfelt episode, Jacob invites you into a simple but powerful experiment: to stop, breathe, and watch. What begins as a guided self-awareness practice unfolds into a deep exploration of identity, suffering, and spiritual clarity.
You’ll discover why you are not your thoughts—or even your body—and how disidentifying from them can lead to the deepest kind of peace. Through reflections on prayer, mindfulness, Christian and Buddhist wisdom, and a raw story about financial hardship, Jacob explores the liberating truth that love and awareness are one and the same.
He speaks vulnerably about sitting in silence during a dark night of the soul—not to escape pain, but to embrace it—and how this honest presence opened the door to compassion, clarity, and even unexpected help.
Whether you’re a seeker, a skeptic, or simply burned out, this episode invites you to stand nowhere… and discover you were always home.
