The Map Is Not the Territory - Principle - Yogi Explains

Summary

, 15 min

The NLP principle that the map is not the territory: the brain deletes, distorts and generalizes sensory input into a small internal map, the yogis' dream world. Applied to practice: holding a spiritual path flexibly, enjoying bliss instead of overriding it with more Kriya, and finding the true guru as intuition within.
