  • Seasons, Identity, and the Nature of Reality - Doc Mitchell (Part 2 of 3)
    May 3 2026

    What if reality is better understood as a process than a thing?

    In part two of our conversation, Doc Mitchell joins yuko uno and yuka una to explore classical Chinese thought, the changing nature of experience, and why concepts like identity, time, and certainty may not be as fixed as we imagine. The discussion touches on Buddhism, Christianity, personal cultivation, and the idea that much of what we cling to may be more like a dream than an objective reality.

    A thoughtful exploration of change, perception, and the search for what remains constant beneath life's unfolding seasons.
