“You’re not going to solve this idea of Emptiness by thinking about it.” Why is it so hard to grasp spiritual awakening through concepts alone? In this short video, James Wood uses the Grand Canyon as a metaphor to explain why intellectualizing nonduality doesn’t work. Discover why true awakening is something you must directly experience through practice—like meditation or watching your breath—rather than something you can figure out with a racing mind.
