Episode notes
Experience Transcends Thought
- Yoga investigates the nature of actual experience, focusing on experiencing itself rather than its content.
- Thought can't grasp experience's true nature; attention is the medium that transcends logic to explore it.
Only Experience Truly Exists
- Objects and events in experience are mental constructions and don't truly exist.
- The sole actuality is the immediate field of experiencing present here and now.
Conceptual Mind Falls Short
- The conceptual mind fails to engage actual experience because it differs radically from conceptual logic.
- Reality's true nature is inherently incoherent and irrational to thought, making conventional analysis futile.
