I know. It sounds so stupidly hyperbolic.
‘Do this one thing and you’ll be set for life!’
It’s in the mold of:
“Do this one thing and you’ll have six-pack abs in six weeks!”
“Do this one thing and you’ll be a millionaire in a month!”
“Do this one thing and you’ll be wrinkle-free in no time flat!”
But the truth is…it’s true. Stay seated and you will be set for life. How?
Let’s start with what I mean in the subtitle by, ‘Stay seated.’
What is the seat of self?
The first question is, stay seated in what? Answer: The seat of self.
What is the seat of self? It’s our consciousness, the vehicle through which we experience life.
The bottom line, when we strip away all the spiritual BSery, is that the seat of self is just one of many ways we can describe the essence of who we are. The soul. The Atman. Presence. Awareness. God consciousness.
The reason I’m devoting an article to the seat of self is because of the invaluable metaphoric imagery this phrase provides.
