"The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action." – John Dewey
Is the “I” you believe in real—or just a story you’ve been taught to believe?
Across traditions from Buddhism to Existentialism, and even in modern neuroscience, a powerful idea emerges: the self is not what we think it is. It is not a solid entity inside our brain, but a transparent awareness, a construction, a controlled hallucination.
In this video, we explore:
The Buddhist insight into emptiness of self
Douglas Harding’s “pointing experiment” and the radical discovery of transparency
Tung-shan’s epiphany at the water’s edge
Jean-Paul Sartre’s vision of consciousness as nothingness
Neuroscientific perspectives on how we “predict ourselves into existence”
Ultimately, this is a journey into one of life’s deepest questions: Who—or what—are we, really?
