I want to give you an update on my journey through this work because I experienced something pretty remarkable earlier this week and even though usually I don't like to talk about myself that much

I like to focus on the theory of the concepts I just don't feel like it would be right or authentic for me here to release an

episode about some theory or concept and just ignore what happened to me

earlier this week. And there are going to be lessons here that you can draw for yourself.

And I think it can be illuminating to see myself also going along on the ride of this journey

and not just preaching at you from the mountaintop, which sometimes

people get that sense because I'm just preaching, preaching theory at you, and it sounds as

though like I've got it all mastered.

And that's not at all the case. I apply all the stuff that I talk about myself and of course I struggle to apply it too. I don't apply it effortlessly.

So what happened with me earlier this week is that I became conscious of the

ultimate nature of reality and it felt like hitting rock bottom, as deep as it goes.

Now I've gotten glimpses of the ultimate nature of reality in the past.

And it's interesting, you know, because people think of the ultimate nature of reality

as being this, okay, so it's just one thing,

okay, so you got it and that's it and you're done, but it's not like that.

It's got many facets to it, it's got many layers to it, and it's such a gargantuan thing that you're realizing that it's difficult for the mind to understand it.

And it's so gargantuan that you're not going to understand it in one go.

One glimpse is not enough to understand it.

So I was thinking about how to explain this, and the best metaphor I came up with is sort of like tasting honey.

So imagine if I gave you a little spoonful of honey and I let you lick it just once.

So just one little lick.

That's what it feels like I had before.
