Episode Description from the Publisher

What if enlightenment isn’t a mystical state—but the gradual destruction of the stories you tell yourself? Gary Cocciolillo speaks with Giotto De Filippi, creator of Practical Enlightenment, about radical honesty, identity, desire, ego, and the beliefs that quietly create suffering. Giotto explains why the word “should” can trap us inside an imaginary version of reality—and why effort often becomes another form of pretending.Gary pushes the conversation further into consciousness, dreams, paranormal experiences, meditation, time, existence, and whether anything we experience can truly be called real. They also explore the difference between chasing outcomes and simply tending to life like a gardener. Can enlightenment become practical? The first step may be brutally simple: stop lying to yourself. Learn more about Giotto’s work at PracticalEnlightenment.com.AppleSpotify
