What If You Could See The World With Fresh Eyes? with Stephan Kerby

Catherine Llewellyn welcomes Stephan Kerby, who goes by Kerby, to explore curiosity, openness and how these qualities can change the way we experience ourselves and the world. Kerby's own journey through depression, anxiety and a search for fulfilment led him into exploring consciousness, healing and identity. Today he works with people around transformation while continuing to question who we are beneath the stories we tell ourselves. Kerby shares how curiosity has guided him throughout his life, including a childhood insight about watching the world like a movie and having some choice about how we respond. They explore how becoming curious about our thoughts, beliefs and programming can create space for different responses and new patterns. The conversation also explores psychedelics as a tool rather than an identity, the danger of putting ourselves and others into boxes, and the possibility of continually evolving rather than deciding that we have everything figured out. #Curiosity #Openness #HumanTransformation ================== Where our conversation went: 01:39 Kerby's lifelong relationship with curiosity 02:51 A childhood insight about watching the world like a movie 04:01 Creating space between what happens and our automatic reactions 05:39 Psychedelics as a tool and the psychology of transformation 07:19 Curiosity as a way of staying open rather than trying to be right 08:23 Questioning our beliefs and remaining open to change 10:14 A bird's nest and noticing the extraordinary things happening around us 13:02 Curiosity about humans, nature, the universe and the beauty surrounding us 15:31 Asking whether our beliefs are actually helping us in this moment 17:52 Mortality, limited time and asking how we want to spend our lives 19:14 The problem with putting people into boxes based on their roles 22:31 Identity and the danger of replacing one identity with another 24:35 Allowing our work and understanding to evolve over time 25:49 Radical transformation and the possibility that anybody can change 26:25 Seeing friends and family with fresh eyes 28:03 Kerby's first psychedelic experience and the beginning of a new journey 31:54 Identity and the first stage of awakening 32:11 Metacognition and learning to notice our thoughts 32:55 Creating space between a thought and our response 33:38 Choosing whether to repeat old patterns or create a new future 35:15 Noticing physical reactions without automatically acting on them 36:49 Kerby's message of hope for anyone who feels stuck 37:18 Free will, automatic patterns and giving ourselves grace 38:15 Moving beyond the expectation that we should be happy all the time 38:44 If you don't feel you are living the life you want, there is hope 38:55 Asking how we want to spend the finite time we have 39:13 Choosing the version of ourselves that brings greater contentment and peace   #podmatch #Curiosity #SelfAwareness #HumanTransformation   Where to find Stephan Kerby: https://mindscapeinstitute.org ========================= ✦ Make the most of your calling; Book an Exploratory Call with Catherine: https://beingspace.world/#explore 🤝 Join our Being Space Community ✦ Podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com ✦ Podcast: https://different-points-podcast.com/ ✦ Website: https://www.beingspace.world ✦ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BEINGSPACEcatherinellewellyn ✦ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beingspace.world ✦ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld ✦ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beingspace.world Support the podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com/donate
