Our default setting has become to decide everything rationally and consciously. We don't know, or have forgotten, how to trust our higher aspirations and the authentic insight and wisdom of our inner genius. Society extols our lower aspirations, such as competition, materialism, cold-heartedness and every man for himself, but this is a recipe for mediocrity.
Those who aspire to excellence need to find ways to discover their suppressed talents and bring them to life. When our potentials are not actualized we may experience fear, anxiety, addiction, and depression, which can be messages to look in another direction.
In this conversation, Scott points out that many of our desires are learned desires - pastimes, amusements, and substitutes for what we truly want. Our real craving is for our authentic being. Once we connect back to ourselves, that's the cure for everything.
So where do we begin? How do we come back to our authentic selves and find our direction in the chaos of being? Is it even worth the effort?
Coming Back to Ourselves is Scott Teitworth's refreshing and inspiring response to these vital questions.

"This is a gem that every spiritual seeker or just about anyone who is
interested in the questions of life, the universe and everything should
listen to. In this talk, Mr. Teitsworth speaks very cogently to the
dilemma we face as individuated beings. On the one hand we are directed by
our innate instincts and desires to outward activity that takes us further
and further away from our authentic selves and on the other we long for a
place of rest and ease where we can fully be ourselves and express
ourselves in a way that is meaningful for us and those around us. He uses
his knowledge of Indian philosophy and western science to take the
listener through the sources of this conundrum and a way out. I especially
enjoyed listening to his personal anecdotes and stories of his
interactions with his teacher, Guru Nitya Chaitanya Yati, and the life
lessons he learned along the way. I loved the honesty and clarity of this
talk. Check it out!
