Embracing Constant Growth and Healing with Olivia Grace Jensen

Well, I see the soul as the deep self.

That's what a teacher of soul called Michael Mead calls it, the deep self.

And he has this phrase that he says, it takes the right kind of trouble to get to the deep self.

I can't remember the exact phrasing.

And the idea is that you said the little self is the ego or the personality and the deep self is the soul or our inherent natural essence.

And for me, I don't like to necessarily segment things so much of like, this is my personality and this is my soul.

But I do believe that we are carrying an essence.

All of us have this unique essence that lives in the core of us, which is the soul.

And we are therefore connected to other souls through our soul.

Everyone lives a fast life and so a lot of people could be completely lost and not know what their true self is.

How would someone who isn't sure what their deep sort of personality or their deep authentic self is, how would they go through finding that?

Well, there's different ways in.

And I feel like if you want to get quite nerdy about it.

Yeah, I love being

nerdy about it.

Some of the esoteric teachings that I've followed, they talk about stages of initiation.

And so the first stage is you start to see...
