]]> Manoj Dias manoj@gentle-noise.com Field Notes 01: Knowing Isn’t the Same as Knowing. What does it mean to really know something? This episode explores the gap between understanding an idea and actually embodying it. Through the lens of meditation and Buddhist practice, we explore why we can intellectually understand things like impermanence, attention and suffering for years before they begin to change how we live. A reflection on practice, repetition, and the slow movement from information into lived experience.

He also had a life changing experience in Vipassana and would eventually go on to become a teacher. We talk about losing his mother young and treating that loss as fuel rather than something to hide, the years he spent fluent in the language of practice without doing the practice, how the same bad moment can play as comedy or horror, and why Coltrane's "Olé" still makes him cry.
