E22: Happiness Through Commercialism

In this episode, we talk about commercialism's impact on humanity.   1:36 - We are in the highest point of consumerism in a given year. There is so much marketing and obligation around consuming.   2:58 - We think that we have “active will”.   5:28 - We’re just supposed to stay in our place.   8:18 - It’s a subtle clusterfuck that you can’t put your finger on.   9:48 - The amount of distrust that has arisen as a byproduct of feeling scammed or taken advantage of.   11:55 - The problem is that until we do the emotional work, until we find the true happiness inside all of these things will keep being a false illusion.   13:57- Become the creator and the controller of your life.   15:52- When you check in with your body, you realize how draining the life you have created is.
