And that's insight into our true nature of what's expansive or interconnected more than we realize on an everyday basis.

We realize how ourselves kind of work in different contexts and that we're not just one room or even the entire house. were actually realized that there are other houses also in the neighborhood that their other selves and that we're all part of this vast neighborhood and that all of our experiences are interconnected and interdependent all the different windows that we can look out into the world

provide us perspective, but that the individual really is the community and the community is the individual. This is actually a fundamental principle by the Ubuntu practice to realize how we are one. And there's some really great Pani Shad stories that talk about how ourselves are connected to the greater whole. And so through awareness,

We recognize our own needs, our wants, our fears, our expectations, that our self-identity and how it's distinct from needs, wants, fears, and expectations of others. And this is a relative reality.

And once you gain insight into our own mental habits and realize that this is a very relative view of the world, one of the biases that we come to the world with is that is the whole world, is only what we see. But there is this absolute reality that's beyond our own senses, right? So we hear between 20,000 to 20,000 hertz, for example.

It doesn't mean that sound doesn't exist below 20 hertz or above 20,000 hertz. It's just our reality is relative to what our sensory apparatus can detect and translate into something meaningful. So once you realize that there's an absolute reality, We expand our awareness, and this leads to what we refer to as self-transcendence.

It's the ability to recognize that there are boundaries between self and other, and that we can dissolve them or begin to dissolve them when our perspective becomes more non-dual and more unified. That's something that we can investigate also with a scientific lens. This is the self-transcendent. and we can't forget about self-regulation, which is critical to just surviving in this world.
