Part 3/14:
A significant theme revolves around the concept of the self and the illusion of individual permanence. The host compares belief in the self to mythical creatures, such as Bigfoot—something that is often glimpsed or inferred but never fully seen or understood. They explore how the self is a constructed narrative, continually reinforced by societal stories and personal beliefs, and how both religious doctrines and ego reinforce this illusion. The conversation emphasizes that recognizing the fluidity and non-permanence of the self could lead to greater peace and understanding.
