In this espisode I reflect on the latest podcast episode on Sean Carrol's "Mindscape" podcast in which he speaks with Laurie Paul, professor of philosophy and cognitive science at Yale University.  In this episide in which they speak about transformative experiences, they talk among other things about why such decisions which may lead to transfomative experiences such as getting married or having children are so difficult to make because we cannot predict the outcome of these decisions and how they will change who we are. In this episode I speak again about the illusion of the concept of a single, stable sense of self, and also talk about how it is we can at times perhaps be TOO open minded. From my vantage point, NOT all things are on the table, and I believe there are some things that are not going to change, such as the fundamental principles of stasis (consciousness) and change, as well as the non-dual nature of reality.
