Exploring the Vedanta Principle of Superimposition
Have you ever wondered if what you perceive as reality is truly as it seems? In this thought-provoking class, we’ll dive deep into the Vedanta principle of superimposition, a powerful concept that challenges our understanding of the world around us.
Vedanta teaches that much of what we experience is layered over the true nature of reality, like the way a movie is projected onto a screen. What if much of our perception is simply a projection of our minds, built on assumptions, beliefs, and sensory illusions? How does this insight shift our approach to life’s challenges and the meaning we give to our experiences?
