A New Way of Being

Many people struggle to say no without over-explaining — not because they lack communication skills, but because part of them feels unsafe being misunderstood.
In this episode, Simon explores the deeper emotional pattern behind over-explaining and how meeting the underlying feeling with presence and compassion naturally leads to clearer boundaries and greater self-trust.

In this conversation, I’m joined by physicist and microprocessor pioneer Federico Faggin for an exploration of consciousness, reality, and awakening. Federico is widely recognised for his role in shaping modern computing, yet after years of professional success he found himself deeply unhappy. In 1990, a spontaneous awakening experience radically shifted how he understood himself and the nature of reality. Rather than dismissing that experience, he spent decades integrating it with science, leading him to a view in which consciousness and free will are fundamental to the universe, not products of the brain. We talk about direct experience, science, meaning, and what all this might mean for humanity at this point in time.

In this conversation, we explore:
Federico’s background in physics and computing, and how his inner life didn’t match his outer success
Why professional achievement alone didn’t bring fulfilment
Federico’s spontaneous awakening experience in 1990 and how it changed everything
The importance of direct experience over concepts or beliefs
Why love is not something we find outside ourselves
How Federico developed his model of reality after his awakening
Quantum physics explained in clear, simple terms
A practical analogy for understanding the collapse of the wave function
The limitations of materialism and the flaws of “scientism”
Free will, the separate self, and what it really means to choose
The deeper purpose of the human experience
How suffering, war, and evil can be understood through this lens
Simon’s own kenshō experience and what followed
The difference between talking about awakening and living it
Why responsibility and honesty are essential for real awakening
The post-awakening “dark night” and integration
Why this moment in history feels pivotal
The relationship between fear, science, and belief systems
Why consciousness must be the starting point
The spiritual quickening happening now
What needs to change — individually and collectively
Why love, ultimately, matters more than fear

Why Anxiety and Nervous System Reactivity Don’t End After Awakening
Why Emotional Triggers Still Fire After Awakening
Why Relationships Still Feel Difficult After Awakening
Why You Stop Rescuing People and People-Pleasing
Why Overthinking Drops Away After Awakening
Why Resistance to life Drops Away (Even When It's Uncomfortable)
Why Awakening Isn’t About Escaping Yourself

This is a real example from my own life of how self-abandonment can show up in very subtle ways — and what changes when you stay with yourself instead. If this resonates and you’d like to explore it further, I’m hosting a free live webinar where we’ll look at how self-abandonment operates moment to moment, and how to stay centred.

I am hosting a free webinar this evening Tuesday January 13th at 8pm called How To Stop Abandoning Yourself (and Live From Presence).

Every January there's a familiar conversation about becoming someone new. But real change doesn’t come from trying to fix a 'broken self.' Lasting change comes from stopping self-abandonment — learning to listen to what you feel, know and need, rather than overriding yourself to cope, please or perform. When you stop betraying yourself in small, everyday ways, clarity returns, boundaries become simpler, and life begins to flow with far less struggle.

I am hosting a free webinar next Tuesday January 13th at 8pm called How To Stop Abandoning Yourself (and Live From Presence).
