Episode notes
Inner vs. Outer Reality
- You live inside your mind, not outside, and care most about the outside's impact on your inner state.
- True spirituality involves recognizing your inner consciousness as the observer of experiences, not the experiences themselves.
The World as Internal Representation
- The world is experienced internally through sensory input, similar to watching a screen.
- You are not directly experiencing external reality but an internal representation created by your mind.
The Three-Ring Circus
- Besides external input, your inner world includes thoughts and emotions.
- True spirituality lies in recognizing the 'you' that observes these internal phenomena.
