We can't see into the aspects of each other's minds outside of the actions that come out and stem from them. But it's much more difficult to have a reference point for what it can feel like to be a liberated being where you're not so closely identified with this voice in our head that runs our life, that won't leave us the heck alone.

And it really is an amazing challenge for anybody who's listening who hasn't already. Just try to observe your breath continuously without broken attention for every inhale and exhale and see how long you can last, you know, because it is shockingly difficult. The habit of the mind just jumps right back in.

Yeah, it's the experiential knowing that we were speaking to before when you feel yourself as a being of flowing continuous vibrations and not this solid I, this solid locus of thoughts and emotions kind of somewhere crouched around here that's like, you know, kind of in a survival energy towards the external world. It takes it from knowledge to truly wisdom because you're living that experience.

And, you know, I'd like to get your perspective on impermanence because it's such an important thing for us to, one, understand intellectually and then also deepen our experience of because life has this illusion of continuity. Like, for example, a lot of these lights that are around us are actually flickering maybe hundreds of times per second.

But because it's so fast, so rapid, we're not aware to the degree that it's actually not a full continuous light source. And similarly, within our experience of life, we have this experience of being a solid self moving through solid space and time. And as you deepen from anapana to vipassana, you're starting to really experience that illusoriness.

the observer right like even even with vipassana like you know some people say just you know be the observer but even the observer melts away it goes back to what you said in the beginning of deciding to live more gently like when you experience the impermanence of something that there will be a first and last time that we do anything in life yeah it changes radically how we approach all of our relationships our career our family and how we engage with them because

As much as I love this conversation and meeting you, who knows what's going to happen to either of us the next moment, you know? And that invites actually an immense presence and that brings so much more aliveness to life. On the path of deepening our awareness, I found, especially through studying through Dhamma and Vipassana,
