it's kind of necessary to accept what you're experiencing and what the situation is and how you feel and the types of thoughts and patterns you tend toward in order to make whatever changes can be made.

So I do think it's kind of part of the same process.

I mean, it depends on what level we're talking.

I think at a fundamental level, I don't believe anything could be different.

Sure.

And that's actually, that's part of what I was, when I wanted to kind of talk a little bit about the levels of usefulness of being aware of these different illusions, because I would say most of the time in our daily lives,

the types of illusions that I'm interested in shaking up are not useful to remind ourselves of most of the time.

I really think there are different levels of usefulness to thinking about and reminding ourselves of the places where we have false intuitions.

And so I often use the analogy of living on a sphere.

So

It still feels to most of us most of the time.

I mean, our intuitive sense, we're not thinking about whether the earth is flat or a sphere, but we behave as if it's flat.

And that makes the most sense.

And it would be exhausting to keep reminding ourselves as we walk down the street, like, it feels flat, but it's not flat.

It's like, there's just no reason to do it.

It's not useful in that moment.

If you're building a house, you can build it as if the world is flat.

And, but, you know, of course, so there are psychological reasons to bring it into view and maybe even spiritual reasons to bring it into view.

And then there's just like usefulness.

So if you're building a rocket to the moon, you better understand that.
