In this week’s episode, part 1 of 2, Deepak and I chatted about the nature of consciousness, He unloaded his extensive knowledge of the cosmos, described what it means to be embodied, shared his understanding of what a belief in God is or means, and listed some of the reasons people suffer from existential crises. It was a wonderful exchange. Enjoy. (Originally published September, 2019)

tell me who you are and
but at last words were I'm awake. He woke up
What new lionize he woke up to
The divine source which
the source of all, knowing all experience, all perception, all sensation, all images, all feelings, all thoughts that is,
Only god, the rest is a dream. Is there
in the I feel such fear, an egg
and anxiety when I'm unable to access or sustain those states of awareness and awakening, because on some
curative level there is an impulse within me. Trying continually to return to those states could cyclists
disorders such as anxiety, fear, depression could addiction or or
these phenomena be regarded, as I miss misinterpreted awareness that we are separate from this awakened police and that we are striving to return and do not have the techniques, understanding methods or teachers to help to deliver us salutes absolutely absent.
Thirdly, in the wisdom, traditional bid redonda with
a non dual tradition that looks at contemplative self in
we transcendence and various forms of meditation? They speak of the five felicia's that five
it shows glaciers, sanskrit word, which means human suffering. So in our document,
suffering of other animals. Also sentient beings suffer if you physically cool to them, but they don't have issues like us.
Would they don't have addictions? They don't have
existential anxiety. Did
question the meaning of existence. What is dead?
is there a god what happened to us afterwards, we do
and so the redonda says there are five reasons we experience existential suffering humans
first, as we don't know what fundamental realities we think its physical,
Ok really have never experienced the source of thought and emotion, and
I am not talking book- thought
feeling, emotion, imagination or perceptual activity. What's the source so
we are confusing, what
experience with the source of expense? Number one number two
grasping and clinging experience, which is on grass bubble
Every experience is born and dies appears
disappears as soon as it's. If I asked you, what
and your childhood gets his gun
If I asked you what happened this morning, it's gone. What
Into the moment you came here, it's got one,
to these words,
by the time you hear them, they don't exist. So what
uh we grasping in clinging
is ungraspable so there
leads to the third fear, which is the fear of impermanence
which leads to a false construct called the eagle, which is not yourself, but your selfie
we have sacrificed herself for selfie for self image, everybody
That's real and read
one hold onto that identity which is constantly
once forming anyway. You're thought
john swarming, your mind is evolving your person,
it is evolving your bodies changing so the egoism
it's gone right, but we are holding on to it, and that leads to the fifth sphere, which is the fear of death.
so these are related thereon
same here,
and they lead to escape mechanisms called addiction
The fear of separation leads to anxiety, leads
anger and hostility which is remembered separation? Basically
which then leads to guilt. Shame because
blame yourself and ultimate?
leads to depression, and so I've been
recently, looking at the data on this
better analysis,
Ninety nine percent of the human population lives low grade anxiety and depression, and they don't know why and they have low grade,
inflammation and the precursor to every chronic disease, including a dick
behaviors everything is this existential anxiety
which is unfounded through any problems. Any problem
any solution that we have devised other than transcendence other than knowing that
not separate. Every experience you have is a perceptual activity of your own self.
So when I look at an object before I can call it an object, is an experience in me
and, as is an experience and meets in activity, perceptual experience in me.
And the me he's. Not
space time.
Formless being having the experience of form and phenomena, and when I look at form I seats,
phenomena there's no such thing as a form, every form
the phenomenon and the phenomenon is the arising in subsiding
of modes of knowing and experience in consciousness. Sensations perceptions, images, feelings, thoughts. The rest is a mother. I get it
Something is apparently an obviously an object, such as the chairs. We sit in on a will, only temporarily be this chair and if you look more deeply, lay their molecular or if you look unprinted through a different lens they're made of vibration of different types of light, so we are projecting their chair, nes onto them, and the
substances to which this is made is not a substance. There's not visit
a certain substance that makes this this or all of this. We can't distinctly and regard its essence
Cause you can continue to break it down. Tat scientists have models, they call it the quantum vacuum, ok, so the quantum back
is brimming with what we call virtual particles. Does our models and the summit
these virtual particles become actual particles which concern the physical universe. The
virtual particles exist in non local infinite
zero dimensions as possibilities and when they
was the big bang, which is that human construct, then for every billion,
anti particles there, a billion and one accidentally
billion in one particles, so dislike despicable
and the billion ninety particles in the particles collide the inoculate each other and the one particle extra leftover because
the physical universe, that's the current bided, but what is the quantum vacuum way?
does it exists. Is it in space time you'll endless arguments about this
but he can make up their minds. What for?
mental reality is if its physical, because if you look at physical reality,
Physical models
atoms molecules become particles, particles becomes waves of possibility in Madame
of space? How does that
become this experience.
Science is unable to address that. I understand so the narratives in time
The ology science, as we understand it, was able to liberate us from a love, ignorance and delivers great understanding of this band. With that we live in current me how we experienced reality by congress experience if agree
material reality, but there are
mutations to these models and a product of the narrative of science was disrupted

religious orthodoxies were challenged the thing
If ever evolution,
this challenge, our understanding of the myths of creation, but as the journey and narrative continues, we arrive once more, this great a base of the unknown and potentially unknowable, and this is
once again find ourselves in a place where we have to contemplate wary.
this quantum vacuum war is
a high human concept for a particular mode of knowing has any
ever seen a particle. You knew you go to these big expense.
When stunned that the aid drawn collider. Looking for the higgs boys on whatever mathematical concept
what you see is a ghost of a trail of a measurement
who measures? What are they measuring the measuring men experience and what is the experience and where is it? If not,
in consciousness, where else could it be so,
No all up experiments are actually pointing out to a deeper mystery. Many of this
rachel tradition say: all knowledge is ignorance. All
judges, ignorance, because every

to ignore the rest of reality. That is hiding behind the scenes in a roomy,
This is not the real reality. This is our shadow. In truth, we are not here. The
reality, is behind the veil, the big bang, the screen of person,
jill activity, so
what we have every time. You know something you have to ignore everything s egg nor rents mean
ignore everything in
to know something in particular, and that's what
scientific inquiries, the more you know
bigger, the unknowable and the
unknown looms.
As soon as you get to the horizon, there's another horizon which is even further away so
as science advances

Becomes even more mysterious. I understand
and again I like to call drew me, because it is one of my favorite boys. He says it's too,
and your cleverness for bewilderment if
not bewildered, then your manatee is incomplete and
The thing about sciences, it starts with a very interesting bewilderment. It starts with curiosity and wonder and read as that, come from
and we become so sure of our models that we sacrifice the territory for a map of the territory for a particular map that too

in that there are likely whole strata of sensory information that we do not have access to, because we simply don't have that language and we don't have the instruments.
