Steve Hagen: Unpacking Reality and Our Deep-Seated Beliefs
“And it's like with the two wolves at the beginning. And if your heart is there, your heart is with the whole and with taking things as a whole.”
Ever wondered why some truths are hard to accept, even when we know them deep down? Steve Hagen, a Zen priest and author, dives into this paradox in this episode of 'The One You Feed'. With host Eric Zimmer, Hagen unravels the themes of his book, *The Grand Delusion: What We Know But Don’t Believe*. He explores the nature of reality, challenging Western notions with Eastern philosophical insights.
Hagen discusses concepts like existence, persistence, and realness, framing them within the context of mind and consciousness. This episode also touches on Zen practices, the role of doubt in spiritual breakthroughs, and the delicate balance between our 'good' and 'bad' wolves. If you're curious about how Eastern wisdom can illuminate Western scientific and philosophical dilemmas, this conversation offers plenty of food for thought.
