I’m thrilled to share the latest episode of the "Endless Possibilities Podcast" with you. This time, I had the pleasure of diving deep into the fascinating journey of Frank Yang, an artist, mentor, full natty bodybuilder, fitness coach, and successful YouTuber.
Meditation and Consciousness: Frank’s journey into meditation began with Transcendental Meditation (TM) and evolved into profound experiences during Vipassana retreats, where he encountered mystical states akin to psychedelic journeys.
Trauma and Healing: Frank candidly discusses his struggles with sexuality, relationships, and family dynamics, emphasizing the importance of addressing trauma through self-reflection and healing.
Interconnectedness of Reality: Throughout our conversation, Frank highlights the interconnectedness of all experiences and the fluidity of time and reality, offering a perspective that transcends linear thinking.
Catalysts for Awakening: Frank shares how intense experiences, including a significant LSD trip, acted as catalysts for his spiritual shifts, leading to profound awakenings.
Collapse of the Observer: A pivotal moment in Frank’s journey was the collapse of the observer, where he experienced a complete dissolution of the subject-object duality, leading to a boundless perception of reality.
Integration and Ongoing Exploration: Frank discusses the years of integration that followed his awakenings, involving shadow work and further energetic unfoldment, allowing him to recalibrate his understanding of self and reality.
Omni-Integration: Frank talks about the later stages of his journey, where he integrates his human experience with the realization of being everything and nothing, leading to a stabilized state of being.
P.S. Don’t forget to check out Frank’s website and social media for more of his incredible work. And if you’re new to his journey, start with his video capturing his awakening experience—it’s truly eye-opening!
