Real, and Not What I Think

Real, y no lo que creo

A student shares her struggle with getting caught in a strong sensation, swinging between "this isn't real" and "this feels so real." The teacher responds that both are true.

Real, and Not What I Think

A student shares her struggle with getting caught in a strong sensation, swinging between "this isn't real" and "this feels so real." The teacher responds that both are true.

Can I say something really quickly?

Yes, of course.

Thank you so much for everything you shared today, and thanks to everyone. I was struggling a little with getting stuck in the feeling, this sensation, and swinging between "Oh, but this is not real" and "Oh, but this feels so real." Thank you.

Both at once

Yes. It's both. Through the mind, it doesn't make sense, but it's both. It's real, absolutely and totally real. And in a sense, it's not what I think it is, right?

Thank you.

You're welcome.
