Huxley's The Reducing Valve Part 2 — The Two Veils, the Six Yogas, and the Technology That Opens It Permanently

Welcome back.

In part one, we sat with Aldous Huxley in a Los Angeles living room and watched him see three flowers as they actually were.

We followed the thread from Henry Bergson's reducing valve philosophy through Huxley's afternoon, through Robin Carhart-Harris' neuroimaging at Imperial College in London.

Three descriptions, one mechanism, the brain as a filter.

The full signal of reality being quietly, efficiently, comprehensively suppressed your entire life.

And we ended with a question.

The Tibetan tradition had been working with this mechanism for a thousand years before any of the others.

Not describing the valve from the outside, dissolving it from the inside.

So how? How do we do this? Welcome back to Quantum Awareness.

Sound is emptiness.

Emptiness is sound.

I'm QP, your quantum preceptor.

Today we answer the question.

Buddhism didn't just name the reducing valve.

It mapped exactly what the valve is made out of.

Two specific veils, two distinct layers of obstruction between you and the tathata of things, their suchness.

And more importantly, a complete technology for dissolving both of them permanently.

Not in an afternoon and not through molecule.

Through the sustained cultivation of the quality of attention that makes the valve open and stay open.

Let's go.

Consider this your second dose of quantum dharma.
