Many spiritual traditions teach us to transcend suffering, rise above the human condition, and seek light beyond the darkness. But what happens when awakening pulls us in the opposite direction—into the raw, messy, fully human experience? In this series, we explore Awakening the Below: returning to the body, to pain, to ancestral memory, and to the sacredness hidden in the very parts of life we were taught to avoid. Together, we uncover how true awakening is not just about rising above, but also about falling deeply into life, where even suffering becomes divine. <br/><br/><a href="https://www.awakeningthebelow.com?utm_medium=podcast">www.awakeningthebelow.com</a>

Releasing Control and Embracing the Dark
<p>Oholomo and Jack explore the idea that much of our suffering comes from the desire to control, understand, and manage life rather than fully experiencing it. We argue that genuine spiritual growth is less about attaining some transcendent ideal and more about surrendering to uncertainty, embracing all aspects of experience, and becoming more fully human.</p><p><strong>Topics covered:</strong> </p><p>* Letting go of the need to control life</p><p>* Taking action without needing certainty</p><p>* Intellectual understanding as a subtle form of control</p><p>* Spiritual growth through surrender rather than transcendence</p><p>* Trusting the flow of life’s unpredictability</p><p>* How idealized notions of enlightenment can be a trap</p><p>* Releasing attachment to spiritual beliefs and frameworks</p><p>* Embracing suffering, darkness, and imperfection</p><p>* Awakening as becoming more fully human rather than transcending humanity</p><p><strong>Connect with us:</strong></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/4vEgXCs">Get the </a><a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/4vEgXCs">Awakening the Below</a><a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/4vEgXCs"> book</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.awakeningthebelow.com/">Oholomo’s website</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.jackmorrigan.com/">Jack’s website</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://youtube.com/@myrisingrose?si=m18sN3NraZ1egc0g">My Rising Rose YouTube channel</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Integration, Being Human, and "The Middle"
<p>Oholomo and Jack talk about how the Above and Below meet in the Middle, resulting in an integration of spiritual realization with ordinary daily life. </p><p>Topics covered: </p><p>* Present-moment awareness and memory difficulties</p><p>* The “Above, Middle, Below” model of awakening</p><p>* Witness consciousness and emotional detachment</p><p>* Spiritual superiority/arrogance</p><p>* Therapy alongside spiritual practice</p><p>* Different people need different spiritual “medicine”</p><p>* Monastic vs lay ideals and role models</p><p>* Healthy expression of anger</p><p>* Spirituality as embodiment, not escape</p><p><strong>Connect with us:</strong></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/4vEgXCs">Get the </a><a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/4vEgXCs">Awakening the Below</a><a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/4vEgXCs"> book</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.awakeningthebelow.com/">Oholomo’s website</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.jackmorrigan.com/">Jack’s website</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://youtube.com/@myrisingrose?si=m18sN3NraZ1egc0g">My Rising Rose YouTube channel</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Suffering, Redemption, and Spiritual Fantasies
<p>Oholomo and Jack dive into the raw, real-time experience of redemption rising unbidden from the depths, and why the spiritual mainstream keeps getting suffering wrong.</p><p><strong>Topics Covered:</strong> </p><p>* When the underworld comes to you — ancestral emotions surfacing uninvited and what to do (or not do) with them </p><p>* Synchronicity as invitation: Netflix, a long-lost phone call, and the doors that are always opening to the below </p><p>* Why sitting with suffering without an agenda is radically different from trying to heal, filter, or transcend it </p><p>* The redemption that lives inside the wound itself — not beyond it </p><p>* Feeling the unresolved trauma stored in the earth and the body </p><p>* The savior fantasy: why thinking you’re the one who will heal the land or your lineage is just another ego project </p><p>* Time-bending moments where personal, ancestral, and historical timelines snap into alignment </p><p>* The identity game: why “I am awareness” or “I am God” are just versions of the same ego move </p><p>* Why spiritual perfection is a myth — and authenticity is the actual goal </p><p>* Honesty as the only prerequisite: being exactly what you are, rawness and all </p><p>* How the “above” and “below” both become escapism if they don’t flow back into the middle — ordinary, everyday human life</p><p><strong>Connect with us:</strong></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/4vEgXCs">Get the </a><a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/4vEgXCs">Awakening the Below</a><a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/4vEgXCs"> book</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.awakeningthebelow.com/">Oholomo’s website</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.jackmorrigan.com/">Jack’s website</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://youtube.com/@myrisingrose?si=m18sN3NraZ1egc0g">My Rising Rose YouTube channel</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
