Episode 20: What is Real?


Listen Later

First, we have to acknowledge that Real and Unreal are words, concepts, thought. So we need to ask what are the parameters we are using to define Real and Unreal?

Is it Real because I can see it, taste it, touch it, feel it?

Is it Unreal because it seems to only exist in thought? Is Real and Unreal not thought as well?

Where is the boundary between Real and Unreal?

How does this particular exploration help us? What could this revelation free us from?

No one can ever perceive anything out there directly. “ Jed Mckenna
