In this episode of Consciousness Conversations, Russell, Daizan and Mark discuss the concept of embracing uncertainty. They discuss how fear of the unknown manifests in human behaviour, the significance of not knowing in professional and personal contexts, and how mindfulness can help individuals tolerate uncertainty. The conversation also delves into the realms of quantum physics and the philosophical implications of time, reality, and consciousness. By juxtaposing scientific inquiry with Zen practices, they highlight the importance of staying present and the beauty of uncertainty. They talk about the importance of mindfulness and meditation practices in fostering a non-judgmental and open-minded approach to fear and uncertainty. The conversation touches on the challenges of being a parent and the tension between scientific paradigms and broader understanding in fields like human sciences. 01:03 Embracing the Unknown 02:58 The Illusion of Knowing 04:18 Science and the Unknown 07:41 Zen and Not Knowing 14:40 Parenting and Uncertainty 25:59 The Nature of Reality #daizanroshi #russellrazzaque #consciousness #spirituality #uncertainty #unknown
