· The Allegory of The Cave:
In the allegory "The Cave", Plato describes a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them and give names to these shadows. The shadows are the prisoners' reality, but are not accurate representations of the real world.
· We explore how the shadows on the cave wall are synonymous with our experience of thought
· the ME is the very first shadow that developed- and never explored further.
· This weird experience of “having thoughts”; the seeming separation between a me and a thought. Or awareness and an object. Kicks off the game of trying to change, control or manage thought.
· What can happen when the mind is caught in the Shadow Play
· When the shadows seem real we make it our job to predict which shadows will show up next and how the sequence of shadows has meaning in our lives
· The phenomena of the ongoing self-improvement project which aims to improve the shadows
The Wonder Land is a deep dive into questioning what has been learned and believed about reality, suffering, and awakening. Join coaches Alex Linares and Amanda Jones as they drop down the rabbit hole with weekly explorations and realizations.
