Understanding the concept of the self
The importance of living in the present moment
The illusion of control
Based on the only things we can be certain of - what has happened in our lives in the past - we weave a narrative that makes sense and expect that the future simply must unfold this way. For example, imagine you're a turkey and for years you live on a farm, get to roam free every day and are fed great food by a farmer. Why would you expect anything to change? But if tomorrow's Thanksgiving, you're just 24 hours away from getting killed, stuffed and roasted.
