Episode notes
Beliefs Shape but Can Limit
- A man shared how beliefs about good and evil from his religious upbringing shaped his experience unconsciously.
- Those beliefs initially served a purpose but became limiting as he grew older.
Good and Evil Are Concepts
- Good and evil are conceptual beliefs, not found in direct experience.
- Evidence for any belief is circular and depends on interpretation.
Hold Beliefs Lightly
- Recognize that any belief is limiting because words and concepts do not capture your true identity.
- Hold beliefs lightly as helpful concepts, not as absolute truth.
