Once you take the jump, it's liberating. And it can't be described. That's why, you know, the yogic traditions, you seem to know yoga. There is, you know, the yamas and the niyamas. And the last niyama is called Ishwar Pranidhana, which means surrender to the incomprehensible. Because you can't figure it out. You cannot figure it out conceptually. Because anything you conceive is wrong.

Anything you perceive is wrong. My perception tells me the Earth is flat. Nobody believes that anymore. My perception tells me that this ground we're sitting on is stationary, spinning at dizzying speeds and hurtling through space at thousands of miles an hour. My perception tells me you're a three-dimensional solid figure, but you're proportionately as void as intergalactic space.

If I could see you through God's eyes, I'd see a huge emptiness with a few scattered dots and spots, maybe some pixels. But even those pixels and those random dots and spots are made of emptiness. So... Therefore, everything I perceive is a magical lie, is a total lie. And then my conceptions are based on my perceptions, which are human perceptions.

What does the world look like to a dragonfly with 30,000 eyes? which can see 360 degrees all the time? What does it look like to a chameleon whose eyeballs swivel on two different axes? To a snake that navigates infrared? To a butterfly that knows ultraviolet? Through a bird that navigates through electromagnetic radiation? So what's the real world look like? It's a silly question.

There's no such thing. There's no real world and there's no real look. It depends on who's looking and what they're using to do the looking, which means the brain, the conditioned mind and the eyes. So, you know, seeing is not happening in the eyes. There's no picture of me in the eyes. It's not happening in the brain. It's happening in something that is beyond our comprehension.

that is non-conceptual, non-perceivable, ultimately you surrender to it. Ishwar Pranidhana, the fifth one. Surrender to the divine mystery. And, you know, Freeman Dyson, one of the greatest physicists of all time, lived at Princeton just past a few years ago. He said, God is what mind becomes when it goes beyond the threshold of our comprehension. If you can comprehend it, it's not God.
