What if the reality you think you’re living in is just an illusion?
In movies like The Matrix and The Truman Show, the characters slowly realize their world isn’t what it seems. But what if the same were true for us?
In this episode, Jay leads the gang in a deep dive into the illusion of reality. He explores the idea that Consciousness created this universe of form to experience itself. And in order to make those experiences rich, immersive, and meaningful, it wrapped them in a brilliantly convincing illusion.
Jay breaks down what he believes are the four most significant aspects of this dreamlike existence, sharing insights from past and future lives along the way. Meanwhile, Steve wrestles with the mind-bending nature of time, and David attempts a hostile takeover with his beloved ocean metaphor.
Join them for a thought-provoking – p and surprisingly humorous – conversation about the nature of existence.
