Seeing Through the Thin Veil of Mind

Viendo a través del fino velo de la mente

This session explores the recognition that thought, time, and identity are imagined constructions, and that direct intimacy with sensation and perception reveals what was never missing. Through dialogues, the teacher addresses the illusion of identification, the addiction to intellectual knowing, and the paradox that emptiness and full immersion with life are ultimately inseparable. The conversations weave together themes of surrender, pride, spiritual bypassing, and the courage of not-knowing.

The Addiction to Knowing
dialogue
The Addiction to Knowing
