Closer To Truth

CHAPTER

Challenging the Illusion of Self

This chapter explores the complex relationship between the self and consciousness, arguing that the self is an illusion rather than a concrete entity. It encourages listeners to reconsider their intuitions about consciousness and presents innovative theories while linking neuroscience to meditation practices as avenues for understanding consciousness. By emphasizing the independence of consciousness from the self, the chapter invites fresh perspectives on personal identity and reality.
