Exploring the Depths of Perception and Reality
In this episode of the Spiritualogic Podcast with Sanal, we'll dive into understanding the purpose and motivations behind our actions by encouraging listeners to connect with their 'why'.
Sanal discusses the importance of listening for transformation rather than confirmation of pre-existing beliefs.
Later, exploring the concept of learning and the stages of realizing the limits of one's knowledge, emphasizing life as the ultimate teacher through experiential learning, versus structured educational formats.
This episode will then transition into discussing perceptions, the difference between our maps of reality versus reality itself ('the map is not the territory'), and how our relationships with thoughts, feelings, and the world are often misconstrued.
Sanal touches on the illusion of control, the power of seeing things as they are, and the fallacy of trying to live life under predefined notions of right and wrong.
The importance of relationships, curiosity, and embracing the unknown are highlighted, with a critique on conventional views of spirituality, existence, and the afterlife.
