Reality and Perception
Henry shares his belief that experiences of oneness and emptiness reveal the true nature of reality, often obscured by our perceptions. He discusses how practices like Kensho can help release these obscurations, allowing deeper insights to emerge. Tim adds to this perspective by referencing a cognitive scientist's work, suggesting that our understanding of reality is more like interacting with icons on a computer, rather than the solid entities we perceive.In this clip
