The heartbreaking story of Martin Ball's relationship

[legendary]

Dr. Martin Ball's marriage is coming to an end.

In his latest podcast, he discusses his relationship and their struggles to maintain a conscious and loving relationship.

Martin also outlines how the ego jumps at these opportunities to tighten its grip on his fears around survival and relationships.

P.S.: In addition to this, Martin also lost his job (Coronavirus) and will soon have to move out of his house. If you can and wish, please support him (donations, buying his books, booking consultations. etc.).

Nostalgia 

Leo's interview with Martin 3 years ago. 

Leo asking him right away about 5-Meo for enlightenment. So cute. 

Enjoy video and donate to Martin Ball.

I hope and pray for his family and hope he gets through this hard time. 

Love the way he describes Infinity. 

 

Also love how he talks about Rigveda texts in Hinduism and Atmaan and Brahman in hinduism. 

He mentions the soma psychedelic plant during the Rigveda times.

Only listened to the podcast a few minutes but it seems like they were on complete different levels... so its probably a good thing. Still heartbreaking.

Idk why, but I just felt like watching a bit of that video today, and now I stumbled across this topic... Coincidence?

Synchronicity from the universe wrapping you.

Man I listened to the entire podcast and it was very sad

Then again, it's just a divorce. Happens to people all the time. There's no need to make a giant narrative out of it. People grow apart from each other frequently. It's okay. You move on and meet new people and keep growing.

50 years old is still very young.

Ralston just got newly married and he's almost 70! Martin will find a new girl.

The podcast literally shocked me and open my mind.

It's crazy how I used to think that enlightened people never face this "down to earth" issues...

To be honest, Martin lacks a lot of mastery and embodiment work. Psychedelics can only get you so far. He still has a lot of attachments.

There is a big gulf between woke people and deeply masterful woke people who have a deep embodiment & purification.

Who in your opinion is both deeply awoke but also deeply embodied and purified?

For what I've seen Ralston, Sadhguru, Mooji, and you might be good examples

To be fair, intimate relationships pose a big challenge when it comes to being conscious and mastering emotions. There's no other place where 'all the shit comes out' and nothing is good enough. It's pretty difficult to put things on autopilot and be immersed in being.

Many enlightened masters choose to remain celibate. I wonder what would happen to a Zen master if he were in an intimate relationship with a woman that can't go an hour without any drama.
