Dualistic Unity - A podcast by Andrew and Ray

An unedited copy of the Dualistic Unity Livestream from January 2, 2023. Join us in this thought-provoking episode of Dualistic Unity Raw, where we delve deep into the fascinating concept of how our perceptions and societal norms are often arbitrary constructs. We challenge the very idea of time and calendar, exploring how our understanding of history, dates, and even days of the week are mere constructs that shape our reality in surprising ways. Our discussion takes a bold dive into questioning accepted truths, encouraging listeners to think beyond the conventional and embrace a broader perspective of human history and potential. We're not just talking about dates and calendars; it's a metaphorical exploration of how we, as a society, often accept and live within boundaries that are self-imposed and culturally inherited. From questioning the Gregorian calendar's relevance to exploring the vastness of human history and potential, we shed light on how breaking free from these mental shackles can lead to a greater understanding of our place in the universe. Whether it's rethinking what makes a society advanced or challenging the very notion of what constitutes progress, this episode is an eye-opener. It's an invitation to step out of comfort zones and question the 'given' – a journey towards mental liberation and a deeper connection with the universe. Don't miss out on this enlightening episode where we peel back the layers of conventional wisdom to reveal a world full of possibilities and unexplored truths!
