Enlighten Up! w/ Special Guest, Elle de Lyon (Ep 13)

Welcome to Episode 13 of Enlighten Up! Join our hosts, Spiritual Teacher Morgan O. Smith and Comedian Nathan Griffith, with special guest Elle de Lyon from Pretty Dope Art. As a community developer, Elle organizes art events and showcases for emerging artists through RISE (Reaching Intelligent Souls Everywhere). Moreover, she’s a multi-faceted performing artist specializing in spoken word, visual arts, and yoga. In this enlightening episode, our hosts and guest explore the intricate concept of ego death. Listen in as Morgan poses the intriguing question, “What is ego death?” and prompts a discussion about the self, broken down into the id, ego, and super-ego. Delve into the duality of the ego as the false self, and consider the authentic self, free from the persona shaped by our environment. Discover Morgan’s take on the temporary death of the ego vs. the lowering of ego defence mechanisms. Nathan ponders the reason behind the common urge to ‘kill’ one’s ego. Morgan discusses the multifaceted nature of the ego, with each facet embodying its own persona, together forming the sense of self. Get into the psyche’s depths with Morgan’s insights on LSD and its capacity to analyze different aspects of the psyche. Hear about the obligations that lie between serving the group vs serving all of humanity and listen to Elle’s thoughts on personal space. Morgan distinguishes between the dark and golden shadow, leading into a discussion with Elle about the challenges of being a public figure and an entertainer. Share a profound moment with Morgan, Elle, and Nathan as they touch on the disconnection between persona and reality, and the disappointment it often brings.
