This is a message about PRIDE, shame, and the significance of tolerance.

The moral philosophy of tolerance encompasses an ecological and bi-directional understanding of human nature and societal influences. Rooted in compassion and knowledge, tolerance requires recognizing the inherent dignity and worth of every individual, irrespective of their differences.

It grows from an appreciation of diversity, seeing it not as a mere fact to be endured but as a fundamental aspect of the human experience.

Drawing on spiritual teachings, true tolerance involves maintaining equanimity and compassion even in the face of negativity, acknowledging that one's own balance of mind must surpass the external forces of intolerance. This philosophy transcends mere forbearance, encouraging a deeper respect for varied beliefs, orientations, and identities, fostering a more inclusive and harmonious society.

Gratitude is a dimension of mindfulness because it involves purposeful attention towards what is fortunate.  It can help people to develop a deeper empathy for others, especially those who are less fortunate or face injustices. 

By appreciating what one has and has access to, individuals can become sensitive to the needs and struggles around them.  This attitude of resourcefulness can foster a sense of connection, shared humanity, and expanded consciousness. 

Most of all, it can generate meaning and momentum towards transformative kindness.

AT 4:30 MARK LOOK UP THE MULLER-LYER IILUSION!

The brain does not see the world. It does not hear the world. It does not touch the world.

The brain rests in complete darkness, sealed in the cavern of the skull. What we call "sight" or "sound" or "touch" are not direct encounters with an external reality—they are internal translations.

Photons strike the eyes; pressure waves ripple into ears; electron clouds in atoms repel those in the skin. These signals are converted into electrochemical patterns,

The brain interprets through the prism of our psychology and assembles a model—what we call perception.

The brain does not merely receive the world—it creates a "middle world" to human dimensions and drawn between atoms and galaxies, tailored to survival, memory, and narrative.

This episode attempts to deconstruct the metaphysics of perception into 5 layers.
