Episode notes
Entranced in Consensus Reality
- We often get lost in a reified reality, oblivious to our role in creating it.
- We chase fleeting desires, unaware of our true, subjective nature.

- Contemplative existential psychotherapy emphasizes felt experience over conceptual understanding.
- It uses contemplative practices to access a less concept-bound awareness.

- Years later, he uses Buddhist concepts to explain Western philosophy due to Buddhism's wider understanding.
