    This exciting episode starts right where it says it does as we open a dialogue for the expansion of our own ideas. I'm really happy to share this content with everyone! Jung, as an analytical psychologist and therapist, could not accept that a state of pure enlightened awareness and overcoming of self could be attained, releasing the individual from the suffering of this world. Rather, by opening up awareness of the unconscious, the Self could attain an improved state of equilibrium, of wholeness. We may, he thought, be better and more balanced selves, but not, in this life, wholly cease to be suffering selves. The unity he sought "is not that of undifferentiated oneness, but rather a harmony, a balance sought through the interplay of opposing but complementary forces."

    Like most occult practices, the true value of alchemy is hidden underneath much obscure symbolism, warding off the muggles, and keeping the secrets within. What alchemy is actually fixated on is spiritual development - with the end goal being a state of awareness, completion and harmony. If you’re saying that this sounds familiar, you’re right - it’s similar to the states that we see in other religious or esoteric traditions, including tarot (the world card), and buddhism (enlightenment), as just a few examples. Alchemy is another thread that links all religions and faiths to the vast Indra’s net of spirituality.

    I'm extremely humbled by the amount of support that Beyond Meaning: The Hidden Science of Thought has received over the last few months since I last uploaded an episode. I've said it before but this podcast was created as a way for me to express the ideas and symbols that have taken such a deep root within my own life. The fact that these ideas resonate with listeners across the entire globe is so incredible to me. With that being said, the show's content is still in the same formula and we dive into new concepts that we have not touched upon yet here in the show. What happens when you reach infinity? Why would we want to experience so much novelty in such a limited life? What is the purpose of our identity? Thanks for tuning in, Sai

    Happy new year folks! Creating this episode brought me much joy and I am looking forward to sharing it with you all. We get into new concepts, ideas, thought experiments and stories in this episode by exploring how psychological continuity impacts the way in which we make sense of the world through the first person experience that is afforded to us by the cartesian ego. We start this off by discussing the continuity loops illustrated following the thinking model created by Derek Parfit which essentially argues that the differences between different persons are extremely important, but does not consider the differences between the same person at different times to be important at all. Parfit argues that this makes self-interest theory vulnerable to attack from two directions. It can be compared to morality on one side, and 'present-aim theory' on the other. Parfit argues that our present aims can sometimes conflict with our long term self-interest. Arguments that a self-interest theorist uses to explain why it is irrational to act on such aims, can be turned against the self-interest theorist, and used as arguments in favor of morality. Conversely, arguments that a self-interest theorist uses against morality could also be used as arguments in support of 'present-aim' theory. We also have a super deep dive into the energy of the year ahead and the implied undertones that stepping into our purpose brings along with it!

    It's new years eve and I wanted to create this very lucid and personal episode to say thank you and share a little bit of the effect that Beyond Meaning has had in my life. We also talk about goals and milestones for the show and I share my first ever exposition that started the thought science fire within. All in all, this is a very raw episode and I am grateful for being able to share it. Happy New Year Fam
