Listen "The 7 Levels of Reality"
Episode Synopsis
Reality doesn’t make any sense. And I don’t mean that as an exaggeration. We know more about the surface of distant planets dozens of light years away than we do about our own existence. We understand more about the forces that govern black holes than we do about why we have a sense of self. The thing we call “reality” collapses under even the slightest scrutiny, yet it’s something every single person who has ever existed has experienced. That’s the paradox of reality, it’s simultaneously the most familiar and the most mysterious thing we’ll ever encounter. 00:00 The 7 Levels of Reality02:09 Level One - Consensus Reality06:23 Level Two - The Realm of Perception09:00 Level Three - The Realm of Belief11:30 Level Four - The Realm of Science14:50 Level Five - The Simulation Layer17:04 Level Six - Mystical Reality19:02 Level Seven - The Unknowable Realm
