E191: Living Inside—The Spiritual Science of Learning to Let Go

It's amazing that whether you realize it or not, you live inside.

How do I know? Because if you're outside, you wouldn't need sensors to pick up the outside and send it back to you.

But you do.

You call them senses, but they are sensors.

Your eyes, your ears, tactile, touch, olfactory, smell.

Why do you need those things? Because if they're not working, you're not receiving the outside world.

That's your first clue that you live inside.

You, the experiencer, the Atman, the self, the soul, call it whatever you want.

The essence of your being is the end user of the experiences that it is receiving.

It's so obvious why we discuss it.

That's not a spiritual discussion.

That's medicine.

That's physiology.

That's understanding why you have senses.

And, and it's funny, you can't hear through your fingers.

You can't see through your ears.

They're literally just like a computer.

They have position, and you put them out there, and then they have this connectivity.

Interestingly, nowadays, everything's wireless.

Your senses are not wireless.

They need wires.

Isn't that amazing? If you just had the senses sitting out there remote, you ain't getting nothing.

You have to have this thing called your nervous system that wires the senses back ultimately to your brain, to the central processing unit that is receiving.

Your brain receives from the ears, from, from the nose, from the tactile, from taste.

I left taste out.
