How to Discern the Real from the Unreal?
Description
Shunyamurti opens by discussing the format of the Satsang, how it was brought to the West by Carl Jung. Shunya also discusses how we live in a world in which hardly anything could be considered real, how the Real is a threat to the unreal and how meditation is the greatest tool to see through unreality. The teaching ends with Shunya discussing how the world is moving towards collective trauma about which it has amnesia, and how in order to recover from that amnesia and know, it must pay the price of the ego.
