If you are unable to find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?

A quote by Dogan

How do we discover what's true? That's what I want to spend this episode looking into.

And unlike previous episodes where I just gave you the truth, told you the truth, or just delivered a bunch of

statements to you about how reality is. In this episode, we want to do an exploration and investigation. We're less interested in the final answers and we're more interested in the process.

The actual reasoning.

So this episode we're doing something a little bit different.

I'm just shooting this totally off the cuff and I want to guide you through a bit of how I do existential inquiry or investigation.

I'm not talking about self-inquiry and if you just want to know what the truth is, go watch my episode,

what is truth, or I explain all that in detail here this is

actually more valuable I want to take you through the thought process the logic

that goes into questioning reality and life.

And really this is the heart of the work that I do.

This is the kind of work that I've been doing since I was 16 years old, like deep philosophical investigation, not by reading books or by

grabbing information from other sources, but deriving it simply through your own inquiry through your own contemplative process.

Thinking for yourself, I think this will be valuable for many of you because most people don't know that this can be done and they don't know how to do it because there's no examples of this that are taught to you in school or in university like this is rare stuff. So what we're

interested in here is truth. What is truth? How do we find out the truth about reality, about life, the ultimate truth?

That's what we're interested in. Why would we be interested in truth? Well, and like you might even start the investigation like what is truth? What does it even mean to go looking for truth and why would anybody

want to do it now I'm going to be talking a lot here almost as I'm talking to myself

and that's exactly how it should look.

You're going to be talking to yourself throughout this process. So kind of try to do this

vicariously through watching me talking to myself and talking to you. We're going to be kind of combining those two together, but this is kind of like how it should go in your own mind.
