  • Summary

  • In this week's episode, we're exploring a rather dramatic and powerful question -"Are you the product of your mind?" We'll look at the relationship between thoughts, identity, and self-perception, and the contrasts of Western philosophies, like Descartes' "I think, therefore I am," with Eastern views, such as Buddhism's concept of the self as an illusion. We'll discuss how our minds filter sensory data and shape our realities, often trapping us in limiting narratives, and the influence that our unconscious mind has on the nature of free will. Lastly, we'll look at mindfulness as a tool to observe thoughts without attachment, and how that can create a deeper understanding of the self beyond our mental constructs. Don't forget, we've been nominated in the Hubhopper 2024 Podcast Awards for the "Best in Health and Wellness" category.
