This was the first of these L/L podcast thingies I've listened to in quite some time. It had a good, strong narrative which I find far more enjoyable than a mere talking head format, and it covered an essential topic. I have to say that I was in one way disappointed with the first two thirds of the recording, but that this was made up for in the concluding portion.
Specifically, participants all regarded "first, know yourself" largely as the process of becoming aware of self as more than being just a body, and secondarily as being about peeling back the layers of unconscious self. Personally, I would have preferred more discussion of the inner self-discovery process, but, of course, one can only offer a reflection of reality as one has experienced it.
The strongest part of the narrative, I thought, was the clear presentation of spiritual transformation whereby the guest was driven to appreciate a clear distinction between the biographical self and greater elements of Spirit. I thought that was well presented.
The final portion having to do with becoming the Creator was firm and, shall we say, plangent; although I would have preferred some discussion of the experience within the heart of melting into that consciousness of Love. Perhaps something along those lines will be included in a follow up exposition some years hence?
