Episode notes
INSIGHT

Perception Before Form

  • Non-duality points to raw immediate appearance rather than mental labels like object, space, or distance.
  • What you actually see is color and light gradients, not inherent form or separation.
INSIGHT

Value Is A Mental Overlay

  • Form and value are mental attributions layered onto raw experience, not intrinsic qualities.
  • The mind assigns higher value to certain forms, but that value isn't present in the pure perception.
ADVICE

Reduce Reactivity First

  • Prepare gradually by working on reactivity before confronting non-dual experiences directly.
  • Reduce reactivity to stay present with intense dissolving of form without dissociating or hiding.
