He is a strategy and management consultant & coach based in NY and initiator of ‘The Schole' - an inquiry into the nature of being. Join us on an inquiry into self and the nature of reality: 💡 Nature of Self-Inquiry: Self-inquiry is an exploration into the unknown, emphasizing the importance of approaching it without preconceived ideas or expectations. This approach allows for a deeper exploration of questions that arise, fostering a journey of discovery rather than seeking definitive answers. 💡 The Self and Language: We examine the interconnection between the 'self' and language. It posits that our perception and understanding of the self are heavily influenced, if not constructed, by the language we use. This suggests that self-identity is dynamic and shaped by linguistic frameworks, rather than being a static entity. 💡 Perception, Reality, and Existence: We explore the relationship between perception, reality, and language, suggesting that our understanding of reality and self may be more a product of linguistic constructs than an objective truth. This leads to broader contemplation on existence, the illusion of separation, and the interconnectedness of all things. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- THEMES -- Introduction to Self-Inquiry: Beyond the Known The Journey of Self-Questioning: Embracing the Unknown Redefining Self in Language: Identity and Expression Language's Role in Shaping Reality: Perception vs. Truth Questioning Existence: Life Beyond Language The Illusion of the 'Self': Understanding Our Inner Narratives Breaking Free from Linguistic Constraints: A New Perspective on Reality Exploring the Meaningless of Life: Finding Freedom in Emptiness Awakening to the Miracle of Existence: Life as a Gift The Paradox of Human Experience: Living Between Two Worlds - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Disclaimer: The views and opinions in "Beyond Perception Podcast" are those of the host and/or guest speakers, providing listeners with varied perspectives based on personal experiences.
