Episode 10: Language, Symbols, and Reality

Episode 10: Language, Symbols, and Reality

In this episode, we take a look at how looking into our thinking through our language, we are able to see more clearly how our perception molds our thinking and dictates much of our experience. Understanding this sheds light on why changing our thinking is so difficult, especially when language has solidified in our minds. This all sounds really heady, but I try and make it go down easily enough.
