    Beautiful conversation. If you have broad taste of various spritual territories and are not bound by any one of them, there is so much to learn and practice from this conversation. Ricky, you are a wonderful host. And Daniel, you keep blowing my mind with your clarity again and again. Bow

    1:17:13. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis states that these concepts not only shape how we see the world but the world shapes these concepts. So it may mean that it is a truly solo project and we but share glimpses via concepts and allusions shared across each dimension(being our selves or perspectives/Culture and social).

      I appreciate this take. There's definitely more to enquire and explore in the overlap of cognition, concepts, and the make-up of reality.

    21:16. I would agree. Also point to a very likely influence for Jung in Nietzsche. He explained his Ubermench, or ideal man, like a BodhiSattva: as template to aim for, but that we might not achieve(he says maybe our great great grand-kids). It is the attempt to embody that we fail, but land in our true self of Jung: Individuation. To know oneself within the whole. Ich und Du. A We and Us, that does not deny the individual as neither can be separated.

    Regarding Actualism, I don’t have much to say beyond my essay on it, and that all feels long ago, so that essay will be fresher and more accurate than my fading memories.

      Great essay. I wasn't familiar with actualism but looking into it, it seems to (directly or indirectly) inspire a significant number of younger generation non-dual teachers. I doubt it's surprising that I'm highly, highly skeptical of their claims of everlasting freedom and eradication of any emotion other than bliss and love, but maybe I'm just a bitter, jealous, mentally-ill-person-in-recovery.
      Your description of the effect of the modality seems to describe the state I referred to in our talk as enchantment. The saturation of wonder and delight in life's beauty is its signature, a kind of glimmering and joyous field of energy that permeates perception, particularly in the visual, to the extent the direct experience of colour or texture, in all its simplicity and magnificence, moves me to tears. What's not to like about that. Your reflection provides orientation in how to stablise that state so it feels less pure chance and more deliberate - thank you 🙏🏻!

      Do you still have PCE's or are you past it now? I read quite a bit about your experiences on your site with the super long page of information that's been copy pasted from dharma overground. Almost done with the whole page.

    Thanks for the video! Personally I am not a fan of the 'spiritualish' music in the intro - imho it is a bit too new-agey for me.

    If you interview him again please ask him about his experience with actualism. And I suggest you try and interview Shinzen Young.

    Also, how boring would full enlightenment be, too? Careful what you wish for. Being human and not having all the answers is what makes all thsi interesting.

    • @MindThatEgo

      Totally agree. The lightbulb moment for me came from the idea of the unconscious. Can you imagine being conscious of everything all at once? Sounds awful 😅

      @@MindThatEgo Or completely fearless, completly calm. Or to know everything. How lame and boring art would be. Who wants to look at the stars and "know" - I don't. This old phrase applies in spiritual circles as it does anywhere else: seek those who are searching for the truth, ignore those who have found it. The major problem with much of modern and ancient spirituality is its "sufficiency" - it becomes teh catch all for everything and the person becomes captured. Even their metaphysics captured and framed.
