Are We Seeing Reality?

In this dharma talk, we explore the nature of reality. By seeing through the illusion of a fixed, objective reality and a fixed, objective "you" we can flow more peacefully and harmoniously. Drawing on Buddhist teachings and cognitive science, we reflect on how perception is shaped by survival, not truth - and how our mistaken identity with a separate self lies at the root of our suffering. Through mindfulness and self-inquiry, we begin to see that the self is not a solid thing, but a process - arising and passing like everything else. And in that seeing, a deep freedom becomes possible.

Beautiful talk. Such important reminders. Can you imagine what this world would be like if we were taught this in school?

I don’t know what it is about needing to hear this again and again lol lol. Maybe it’s the trickyness of the ego. but I’m glad to have this talk to be reminded again and again. And too compassionately say to myself, Alice, sweetheart you’re doing good.😊🐞♥️😊🐞♥️😊🐞♥️😊
