Episode 252
Thursday, 8 January, 2026

His work bridges consciousness, psychology, and personal transformation. Learn more about his books, teachings, and workshops at ddeangraves.org.@simpleenlightenment on InstagramDean's Facebook pageDean on YouTubeHe joins us to read an excerpt from his book, Edifying Children of a Lesser God, specifically the chapter titled “Stress and Suffering.”Dean explores the roots of human suffering and how our perception of self directly shapes our experiences. He explains that suffering is not an unavoidable part of life, but rather a distortion of perception — a learned belief that can be unlearned through conscious awareness and healing.He illustrates this concept with a powerful metaphor:If everyone were splashed by a sprinkler, all would be wet in the same way — because the water caused it.But when witnessing a car accident, no two people feel the same — because the experience doesn’t create the emotion, our interpretation does.Dean reminds us that our reactions are reflections of our internal condition. As we evolve, we begin to interpret life from a higher, more peaceful state of consciousness — reducing suffering and expanding awareness.Takeaway PracticeDean encourages listeners to begin their journey of healing by:Recognizing the false lens through which suffering is perceived.Releasing the belief that pain is inevitable.Observing experiences as neutral, allowing emotions to be guided by awareness rather than reaction.5 Minutes of Peace is created by The Peace Room, Boise.Each episode offers reflections, meditations, and readings designed to help you reconnect with peace, love, and awareness — within yourself and the world around you.Learn more about Reiki treatments, crystal healings, and workshops at www.thepeaceroom.love
