The Unknown Self October 30, 2008

Armand DiMele guides listeners through a contemplative exploration of the ‘unknown self’—the parts of our inner world that remain hidden, unexpressed, or misunderstood. With poetic reflection and philosophical insight, he asks what it means to truly know oneself and how societal expectations often mask deeper emotional truths. The episode encourages listeners to embrace their shadow selves and to confront fears, insecurities, and suppressed experiences. DiMele reflects on how silence, stillness, and solitude can illuminate what is most real within us. Through metaphor and gentle provocation, he invites the audience to stop performing and begin feeling—acknowledging that the unknown is not to be feared, but explored. This is a meditation on depth, vulnerability, and inner presence.
