What is Non-duality? From Neuroscience to Nirvana

Описание: Have you ever had a moment where the "you" dissolved and there was just the experience? In this video, we explore the liberating concept of non-duality—the "not-two" reality that suggests the hard line between you and the world is more like a horizon than a wall.

We bridge the gap between ancient Advaita Vedanta (the wisdom of Ramana Maharshi and Alan Watts) and modern neuroscience to show that the "self" is often just a convincing storyteller in your left hemisphere.

-The Neuroscience of "Me": Why researchers like Bruce Hood and Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor call the fixed self an illusion.
Expansion, not Subtraction: Why losing the "fence" of the ego actually gives you more "garden" to live in.
