It's interesting because I completely agree.

And we live, especially in Western modern culture where the education system shapes us to sort of identify with the intellect in a way where we like live life often through our ideas of life and through like our models of reality instead of reality.

indirect experience of reality um and like the psychological term of like top-down versus bottom-up processing right like we see a bird and it's like it's a raven and like we think we know what it is and then we stop experiencing the raven yeah right oh i love that yeah yeah so yeah i'm curious your thoughts on like uh to like kind of return to more of that like bottom-up processing like experiencing life from a fresh place um you seem to do that extremely well

Hey everyone, a quick share.

Back to the show.

I've definitely thought quite a bit about like,

I guess it kind of sounds mad, but how does one get intimate with life?

And instead of, like we were speaking to, living through our ideas of it or our own prejudices and beliefs and infatuations and imaginations and desires of who somebody is or what life or reality is, to be able to...

pay attention and have perception open up.

Like you said, instead of just the face value of what the form of the thing is to like experience more of what the essence of the thing is.
