Does Science Actually Describe Reality?

Deep Psychology ·

2026/04/19

Science is very hesitant to assign reality to things; it tends to assign reality to parts rather than wholesFor example, science will say a human is really just cells, which are really just atoms, which are mostly nothing!No - the human is the human. It is irreducible. Sure, we can analyse and parse it, but the constituent elements are not the human, by definition.

What Models Actually Are & Their Fundamental Flaw

Deep Psychology ·

2026/04/16

A model is about a phenomenon. It is not the phenomenon. By definition. Therefore, models do not actually describe phenomena, because fundamentally they cannot be described.This is a snippet from my Wednesday 15/4 episode, Science is Addicted to Explanations.Philosophy category: https://player.captivate.fm/collection/41de4d4f-0232-4c5d-bb84-436add43f6f9Explore my 200-episode podcast library: https://deep-psychology.com/#pod-catsNewsletter & books: https://deep-psychology.com/my-links

The Brain Is In Experience

Deep Psychology ·

2026/04/14

We tend to think that our experience arises inside the brain, but in fact the opposite is true.All we know of our brain is our experience is it, and our brain is entirely contained within our experience.Episode category: https://player.captivate.fm/collection/41de4d4f-0232-4c5d-bb84-436add43f6f9Explore my 200-episode podcast library: https://deep-psychology.com/#pod-catsNewsletter & books: https://deep-psychology.com/my-links

Your Brain Does Not Think

Deep Psychology ·

2026/04/12

Our thought patterns: “my brain thinks”, “my brain goes round in loops”. These are cliches. Have you ever thought about this?No, your brain does not think. And when you think, you are not experiencing your brain.This is a snippet from my Wednesday 8th April episode, The Limits of Brain Science.Episode category: https://player.captivate.fm/collection/41de4d4f-0232-4c5d-bb84-436add43f6f9Explore my 200-episode podcast library: https://deep-psychology.com/#pod-catsNewsletter & books:

Your Brain Is Not the Source of Fear

Deep Psychology ·

2026/04/09

Our usual thinking is to pin the cause of the fear on the brain.So we say “we feel fear because x area of the brain activates. If it didn’t activate, we wouldn’t feel fear. It’s because of my brain”How can your brain “cause” fear? How can a squidgy lump of flesh cause fear?This is a snippet from my Wednesday 8th April episode, The Limits of Brain Science.Episode category: https://player.captivate.fm/collection/41de4d4f-0232-4c5d-bb84-436add43f6f9Explore my 200-episode podcast library:

Science’s Hidden Black Hole

Deep Psychology ·

2026/04/07

Science does not truly question the idea of self. Even though neuroscience itself would say that the self is simply a result of brain activity and isn’t actually a thing, neuroscientists themselves do not live out this wisdom.Also, science confuses accumulation of knowledge with wisdom.This is a snippet from my Wednesday 1/4 episode, The Hidden Dogma in Scientific Thinking.Episode category: https://player.captivate.fm/collection/41de4d4f-0232-4c5d-bb84-436add43f6f9Explore my 200-episode podcast

The Main Blind Spot in Science

Deep Psychology ·

2026/04/05

Science does not pay attention to epistemology and philosophy - it focuses exclusively on calculation and application.It is also highly skeptical, but rarely of itself.This is a snippet from my Wednesday 1/4 episode, The Hidden Dogma in Scientific Thinking.Episode category: https://player.captivate.fm/collection/41de4d4f-0232-4c5d-bb84-436add43f6f9Explore my 200-episode podcast library: https://deep-psychology.com/#pod-catsNewsletter & books: https://deep-psychology.com/my-links

The Hidden Dogma In Scientific Thinking

Deep Psychology ·

2026/04/01

Scientific practice contains certain philosophical assumptions. These are treated as facts and then passed on. And they are unexamined. That is, they are dogma. In episode 1 of my April series on the philosophy of science, we uncover these hidden assumptions and help you free your mind from scientism.My philosophy episodes: https://player.captivate.fm/collection/41de4d4f-0232-4c5d-bb84-436add43f6f9Explore my 200-episode podcast library: https://deep-psychology.com/#pod-catsNewsletter & books:

Why You Cannot Learn Spirituality

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/31

To engage in spiritual learning, you must believe you don't know your true nature, and then go out and try to find it. Yet, nobody can truly tell you what it is. It is a discovery you must make.This is a snippet from my Wednesday 25/3 episode, What Spiritual Teaching Can't Do.Related episodes: all March episodes!Newsletter & books: https://deep-psychology.com/my-linksExplore my 200-episode archive by category: https://deep-psychology.com/#pod-cats

What Spiritual Teaching Can’t Do

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/25

There is a fundamental limit to spiritual teaching: it cannot give you recognition of your true nature, and your true nature cannot be conceptualised. This goes to the heart of spirituality.Furthermore, to teach, the teacher must defile their own true nature.Related episodes: all March episodes!Newsletter & books: https://deep-psychology.com/my-links

The Spiritual Search Ends Where You Already Are

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/24

The true meditative path is one that is grounded right here, right now.To continue on the path is to be fully here in all situations, and to never turn away from This.The extent to which you do that is the extent to which you are truly walking the path home.This episode is a snippet from my Wednesday 18/3 episode, Why Meditators Stall on the Path.My newsletter & books: https://deep-psychology.com/my-links

Newbie Meditators Have Unrealistic Expectations

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/19

Meditators often have wildly unrealistic expectations regarding what meditation is, what its effects are, and where it eventually leads us. This is especially prevalent among newcomers, who have often been marketed on the idea that a little meditation will immediately render you calm, peaceful and wise.This is a snippet from my Wednesday 18/3 episode, Why Meditators Stall On The Path.Books & fortnightly newsletter: https://deep-psychology.com

The Word "Enlightenment" Creates False Expectations

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/15

Enlightenment is our default word for spiritual awakening or deep spiritual insight. While it may serve and inspire certain students to engage in spiritual work, I also believe it is problematic and that better options exist.This is a short snippet from my episode on 11th March, Is Enlightenment the Right Word?

Is Enlightenment The Right Word?

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/11

We use the word enlightenment all the time in spirituality.But it might actually be one of the most misleading words in the entire field.It suggests a climactic transformation, a final state, something rare and special.Yet the lived experience of awakening is usually quieter, slower, and far more ordinary.

The Late Stage of Meditation

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/10

Perhaps 1% or fewer practitioners reach late-stage meditation, where awakening has permanently altered one’s perception.Late stage says: “There is no centre for awakening to happen to.”This is a snippet from my episode from Wednesday 11/3, The Three Stages of Meditation.

The Three Stages of Meditation & Spiritual Insight

Deep Psychology ·

2026/03/04

We tend to see meditation as a single spiritual practice experienced equally by all. It seems meditators sit, practice their technique, attend retreats and accumulate hours.What’s missing is the developmental dimension of meditation. This practice unfolds in recognisable developmental stages.These are not rigid categories, but shifts in identity, perception and relationship to experience. What changes is not just depth of calm — it is the structure of self.My newsletter for fortnightly updates:
