Episode notes
Subjective Reality
- Reality is subjective, based solely on individual experience.
- External reality is perceived through consciousness, making subjective experience fundamental.
Emptiness as Process
- Emptiness is a process of co-arising, like a Shrodinger's cat in a state of indeterminacy.
- It's also the merging of singularity with infinite consciousness, a dark light of the absolute.
Cessation and Awareness
- Continuous awareness isn't necessary for awakening; the highest meditative state is cessation, a type of unconsciousness.
- Cessation offers insight into reality's construction and shifts baseline consciousness.
