Redefining illusion
There are two reoccurring themes referenced in this video. First, you are not your thoughts and emotions. You are the one that witnesses the thoughts and emotions. Second, there is an illusory quality to reality as we experience it. Orgyen Chowang makes a subtle yet profound point regarding illusion which I have often found myself referring back to. “Illusoriness is sometimes misunderstood to mean that there is nothing there.” He continues, “The point of illusoriness is that there seems to be something there, but it doesn’t really exist as we think it does.”
