#71 - Accessing Bliss By Cultivating Symmetrical Valence in Experience w/ andrés gómez emilsson

Exploring the Aesthetics of Consciousness

In this episode, Andres we delve into the groundbreaking work of Qualia Research Institute (Andres’ core project), uncovering its ambitious principles and goals aimed at understanding the very core of consciousness and suffering. From the quest to grasp the conditions for meaningful existence to the pursuit of reducing extreme suffering and enhancing positive conscious experiences.

We talk about the computational properties of the mind and the nature of joy and suffering. Through the symmetry theory of valence, we decode the underlying patterns that shape our experiences of bliss and suffering. Gain insights into how understanding the texture of experience and fostering pro-social emotions like loving-kindness can lead to profound shifts in well-being.

Whether you're a seasoned explorer of consciousness or a curious newcomer, this episode offers a thought-provoking exploration of the frontiers of human experience. Prepare to expand your understanding of consciousness and uncover the secrets of bliss and suffering with Andres Gomez and the Qualia Research Institute.
