May 12, 2025 · 27 min

What if everything you’ve believed about consciousness—and your sense of self—is just the tip of the iceberg? Dive into this mind-expanding episode of Soul Sessions with CreativeMind, as Debra Maldonado and Dr. Robert Maldonado unravel the profound concept of pure consciousness and its origin in ancient non-dual teachings.

Discover how understanding the witness within you can unlock freedom from limiting roles, dissolve feelings of separation, and radically shift how you coach, create, and experience life.

In this episode, we discuss:

What pure consciousness is (and what it isn’t)—drawing from the Upanishads and non-dual philosophyThe illusion of separation between subject and object, and how your “dreams” shape waking realityWhy shadow work is essential for truly experiencing non-dualityPractical ways this awareness can free you from anxiety, redefine your identity, and transform your approach to coaching
