In this episode of Reality Inverted, we explore a rarely acknowledged aspect of awakening and discernment: the personal cost of seeing clearly. Truth isn’t always comforting. It often asks us to let go—of stories, roles, communities, and identities we’ve clung to. And yet, while uncomfortable, this cost is often what opens the door to deeper peace, clarity, and integrity.

With support from historian Yuval Noah Harari’s insights on why truth is harder than fantasy, and a reflection on the post-truth world we now live in, this episode challenges you to examine your own relationship with truth—and what you may be unconsciously avoiding to stay comfortable.

“Yes, truth is expensive. But the cost of avoiding it is even higher.”

This is a gently confronting but ultimately encouraging invitation to live truth as a daily practice—not just a belief system. It’s a call to strengthen the intellect, question the dominant paradigms, and return again and again to what’s real.

What if the world isn’t what we think it is—but what we’ve been taught to see?

In this episode of Reality Inverted, we explore three dominant paradigms that shape modern life: physicalism, dualism, and reductionism. These aren’t just academic theories—they influence how we think about our bodies, our emotions, our relationships, and even what we believe is real.

We ask:
– What happens when we believe matter is all there is?
– What are the consequences of splitting mind from body, self from other, spirit from world?
– Why is our default response to break things down rather than step back and see the whole?

These inherited worldviews often go unquestioned—but they quietly shape everything. In this reflective and provocative episode, you’ll begin to see the hidden assumptions at the root of modern life… and what becomes possible when you name them.

Listen if you’ve ever felt split between science and spirit, logic and intuition, self-help and surrender.
This is the beginning of deeper seeing.

There’s a saying: The fish doesn’t know it’s in water.

In this episode of Reality Inverted, we explore the invisible paradigms that surround us—shaping our families, workplaces, culture, and even the way we think about ourselves.

These paradigms aren’t just big societal systems like physicalism—they’re the everyday assumptions that define what we believe is possible. Things like:

• Love = obedience

• Worth = productivity

• Success = status

• Truth = what the experts say

Most of these beliefs were formed before age 7. They’ve become the water we swim in—the lenses we look through without realizing it.

We’ll explore:

• How paradigms show up in families, workplaces, and culture

• The neuroscience behind subconscious beliefs

• Real-life stories that reveal how these paradigms drive behavior

• An introduction to systems thinking and why paradigm shifts are the deepest form of change

This episode is an invitation to notice the water—not to escape it, but to see it clearly.
