Episode notes
Non-Dual Flow of Self and World
- Our self and the world are not separate but flow together like a river without banks.
- Recognizing this flow helps dissolve the illusion of observer and observed as distinct entities.
Beyond Dualistic Meditation
- Mindfulness meditation often treats self as separate observer on riverbank observing flow.
- True integration in meditation is non-dual, where there is no separate observer or bank, just flow.
