I talk with Andrés Gómez Emilsson about his research into consciousness and how to lessen suffering. Through the Qualia Research Institute, he is working with altered states of consciousness to advance our understanding of how our conscious experiences are fabricated. Enjoy the conversation.

Focusing on the "Now" in meditation is a tricky thing. Conceptualization of the object of meditation is difficult to do, yet it is necessary for the realization of Emptiness or Nothingness – pure consciousness without manifestation. In this video, I hope to present a helpful key to unlock the power of this method for you.
