@Heloise O'Byrne thank you so much for this comment! I wrote my endwork (thesis) at university about the link between music and language whereby musicality seats much deeper than language interwoven in the brain. Yet, not only promotors and teachers were not interested but also rejected what i was trying to show. Nevertheless, behind my back i noticed their interest through various online platforms. I got a 12 out of 20! Just enough to pass my master in translation. Nevertheless i do think my work deserved a higher score. But non of them had studied music, so they did not really understand much. --- Yes please, get our oldies out of these terrible homes and spoil them with live music and contacts with animals. I saw it for my own mum, how happy she became with music or when she had the opportunity to carress a cat, dog, sheep. These homes are terrible! We need a more HUMAN society inclusive all ages! I got my university degree at 60 and am studying tonal percussion for the rest of my life.

Yeah he doesnt get the art at all. It was so forced. Gotta sound natural and in the right context. This sounded like a big nerd trying to be cool in front of the cool kids.

[@vanillaghetto]

Yeah, I actually think that the Dr. was so embarrassed for Tom, that after a few f-bombs were tossed, the Dr. through in ONE f-bomb himself, so that Tom wouldn't look so bad and feel so lame. The Dr. is a very charitable guy, clearly. One. Even charity has a limit.

[@nonenone2669]

Yeah, it looks like he was trying to use what maybe he had heard or read about "not giving a fuck" and decided to show that he does "not give a fuck" by swearing.. Except his swearing came from a place of trying too hard instead of naturally using swear words. Hopefully he read the comments and learned from this.

[@mountainmedium111]

This information is incredible! Just a note; on the F word! I use it as commas myself, but, Sincerely, it detracts ones attention away from this great interview, it's so out of context, & makes it difficult to share this important information to everyone it could benefit! ( I have 500+ friends on fb, many business associates that I do not speak freely arround - I shared it anyway!.) I needed to hear this right now! I deal with Hemiplegic Migraines, worsened by barametric pressure changes of monsoon season in the high desert, added to massive grief, & the numb depression that follows it , this interview was a Gift to me!

The guy obviously likes to think he is an intellectual but using the F word makes him seem so ignorant and undisciplined. I doubt I would ever bother watching anything else from him because he does not have the decency to use clean language in a public environment.

[@meeksann1]

Tom, I love your videos. I work as a teacher and my husband is a principal in different high schools. When you use the Fword in your interviews, it limits our ability to use these videos in the classroom. If you could just remove that word, your videos could have such a greater impact with young people in the schools. We want to use your videos to help impact youth. We can talk about concepts, but we would love to use the actual interviews in the classroom and using the fword limits our ability to do that. Thanks for all you do.

[@missygee6155]

Tom, I love your interviewing style. You are a great listener and allow your guest to speak and answer your questions without interrupting. You sit still, giving your full attention. You don't finish their sentences, which I love. But you're also not afraid to point out that you aren't familiar with something or don't know something. That's very appealing and calming to watch. I'm just going to use his initials so as not to blast him out, but LH constantly interrupts, talks over, exhales loudly, heavy sighs, finishes his guest sentences and says things like, "uh huh, yeah, right" not just once or twice here and there but throughout the entire interview. It's very distracting. Great stuff here as always!

[@trueself520]

Tom, your message at the end struck home. It is 2:24 am, can't sleep worrying about my 25 year old daughter and the path she is headed down due to drugs.

Never thought I would come to this point in my life of feeling so lost and hopeless.

As many others have noted as well, please stop the cussing, Tom. I don't know why you suddenly started effing and blinding (as they say here in England), but you let yourself down and bring down the tone of your show. It's not cool, it's just vulgar and dumb. I'm no prude, trust me. In fact, I'm a rather anarchic, fucking hell-raiser, but this is an intellectual format and show, and the cussing isn't appropriate here. IMHO. Thanks for all you do! You are the best interviewer! You always ask relevant questions and never try to steal the limelight. You ask a concise question and then you shut your mouth and let the guest answer in detail. Perfect interviewer! You're awesome!

Words are words. People are authentic. When someone goes through a true emotional, AHA moment they say what they want. It is his channel. Who are you to say this isn't a proper format. If you don't like it, watch something else - to be offended by a "curse" word is silly. grow up

[@kaitlynkarol4600]

@@dillonbrooks7807 - t's not about being offended - it's about being turned off and having the energy and focus of the interview be hijacked by childish punkish banter that doesn't fit w/ this type of talk. You don't get it b/c maybe you're very young or just very immature yourself...? Maybe ppl could 'grow up' a bit more by really seeing into what happened here instead of making blind judgments on this by assuming those of us who don't agree w/ the cursing in this interview are being judgmental... There is a big diff btw. judgment and 'discernment' and when a person is a real 'grown up' - adult - etc - he or she is aware that there is a time & place for all things. As a writer and journalist, I interview ppl all the time, & I know how to modify my language and behavior according to where I am and who I am with. This is also called common sense and children who act infantile and refuse to level up to other adults don't get this. Also to your first comment - Words are NOT 'just words' - they carry weight and power but it's all in how we use and respond to them that gives us true power and FOCUSED purpose in our lives. But blind and deaf folks will go on acting infantile.... (sighing and smh as I sign out)...

Wow, I love Dr. Jandial's compassion. I came here in search of finding out how to reverse childhood conditioning. My brother and I are in our 50s. We have always struggled with each other. We are currently in a good place with each other, but when old mindsets pop up, it is very painful for me, and I want to not be around him. We've been estranged on and off for years. And I know we love each other, but we are critical of each other and end up emotionally hurting each other, in spite of our efforts not to. He's not toxic. I'm not toxic. We love each other and don't want to manipulate each other for personal gain. Yet criticism prevails most of the time. We'll apologize, overcome wounds, and move on, only to wound each other again. Last week I was deeply grieving over this hurt, and am even worn out, and I was praying. It hit me. We've been conditioned. Both of us have had childhood trauma due to our parents. I have been on the mental health journey my entire life. But I could not figure out this mystery with my brother and me. Hearing Dr. Jandial mention the groove absolutely floored me. He has confirmed my revelation that my brother and I have been conditioned to be pitted against each other. We see each other through the lense our parents wanted us to see through. Just typing this gives me a strained chest. It's sickening and so very sad, and painful. Now. Now I can proceed with seeking help in this, and I am hopeful my brother will be interested. But at least I can pursue this. I am truly encouraged, and feel hope that we might finally overcome this hurtful relationship. I can definitely see that it's going to take work. But, we've limped along our whole lives the way we are. I am desperate to put the work in. Maybe if my brother sees a change in me, he'll jump on this too. But I'll worry about me for now. Again, I'm very, very encouraged to learn this. Thank you, Tom, for this excellent talk. I love y'all's channels and watch frequently.

I used to feel sad when someone corrected my English usage. It's true, "Cool, calm, and collected," the "ed" on the end of "collect" is the correct way to say it. But I learned to LOVE CORRECTION NOT ONLY IN ENGLISH, BUT ALSO IN SPANISH! I have a friend who is an EXCELLENT Spanish speaker. She has a Bachelor's from a university in Chile. I asked her to help me improve my Spanish by correcting my mistakes whenever we conversed in the language. She literally took it to heart! As we spoke, she gently stated the correct word! She didn't say, "Oh, that was wrong." She simply stated the correct word. I heard my words corrected many times. I realized the gift she was giving me, so I set my pride aside, welcomed it, and to this day, years later now, she simply says the correct words. I'm happy to say that she adds the correct words less often! I KNOW that it was my willingness to receive correction, my willingness to learn, which allowed me to improve. The willingness to improve is one of the keys to growing intellectually. Our pride must be set aside. improving my English-language usage, and I believe word games and reading improve any language skills! 😀 I have such a long way to go, and English is so complex, there is always room to learn it, for ALL OF US!

He is so right about the nose at 9:00. I was making perfumes late at night one evening with lemon scent essential oils. That stuff kept me up the whole damn night, no extra coffee. Also 43:00 breathing...just, using oxygen and breath to consciously change how your sympathetic nervous system talks to your brain really helps a lot. I have some issues with rage every now and then but if I just make myself exhale slowly a few times, it takes me out of the rage spiral that you can get locked into if you're holding your breath or breathing too shallowly (angry breathing) I don't even remember what I was pissed off about earlier this morning, while at work, (probably just customers being stupid or not getting a response from someone I contacted/feeling ignored) but I did my "ttthhhhhh" sound breathing (you do not need to buy an $80 flute lol) to make myself exhale slower and by god it works.

This discussion was amazing and filled with usable information I’m going to try. I’m finding this pandemic is changing my mindset and I’m surprised at what I say out loud to people. I’m using humor and maybe being flippant to deal with stressors.

Thankyou forthis motivational video , my mind becomes dull when I am around negative people ,who discourage me when I do something good .I love to b with people who support and encourage me

[@bobpederson8392]

Hi Tom. I just wanted you to know that your show comes off as very professionally produced , the content very informative and your guests are amazing. Your show would stand tall on it's own merits, as would you as a host without all the profanity. It degrades you, your show, your subject matter as well as your guests. And besides, it would likely have no ill effects to clean up the language, and it would be a kindness to those who truly appreciate you and what you do, but are put off by the language. Keep up the great work!

[@carinwiseman4309]

Thank you so much for these vids. As an older person who rejected cable long ago, these have been an invaluable source of awareness of some of the highest quality cultural thinkers in our world today. I would not even have been aware of some of them without your channel and You Tube as a whole. Food for my mind and soul.

[@gursimrandodd9921]

Yes, I totally agree with you. What I also find very powerful for rejuvenating and regenerating the body is doing a long fast. Today (July 11, I just started a 30 day water and green vegetable juice fast. For my 30 day fast that I started today, I will mostly only have good quality natural spring water, herbal tea very occasionally and just have a little bit of green vegetable juice very occasionally as well ( for example: cucumber juice and kale juice). Most of the day I will be fasting with only drinking good quality natural spring water. I will also focus on getting to sleep early and getting deep good quality sleep and benefit from the awesome benefits of sleep. I will also focus on walking, yoga, dancing, meditation and consciously creating my life moment by moment instead of being in auto pilot. I believe that many of us in life are on auto pilot and are also severely addicted to food. I have been doing a tremendous amount of daily intermittent fasting for the past 3 years and I have seen over and over again that when I fast with drinking only natural spring water, I feel soooooooooooooo much more energy, more clarity of mind, more focus, more flexibility, more telepathic, more divinely connected with all people and source, my skin looks younger, my hair becomes fuller and softer, …….. Therefore today I begin a 30 day awesome experimental adventure of seeing what a 30 day fast with only drinking good quality natural spring water, very occasional green vegetable juice and very occasional herbal tea, as I described above will do in powerfully rejuvenating and regenerating the body. I believe we can be so much more than we all are physically, mentally and spiritually. I look forward to feeling and seeing the magic of fasting in my body and in my life. I will share all the wonderful awesomeness of my fast here for us all to learn and benefit together. Life is wonderful. Lets be all that we can be physically, mentally and spiritually. I believe we can all live a lot longer than we do. I believe that we do not have to dye with sickness or disease. Our body is always healing and regenerating. I believe it is us that destroys our body with what we put into our body and with what we do to our body.

[@sambreeding8212]

I’ve said thought patterns in the brain are like erosion on a dirt hill when it rains. At first when the rain falls, it creates small crevices of erosion in the hill. The next time it rains, the water will flow in those same crevices making them deeper and wider. The same goes for the brain creating neural pathways as a particular response to something happening. To change negative thinking, you have to consciously stop those negative thoughts and replace them with better thoughts, thereby creating different neural pathways.

[@bogdang.7627]

Can you explain why?

[@stanleyrzepka3077]

This interview is filled with many gems. Tom alway does a great job digging deep. My only criticism is Tom's use of the F word. It usually seems forced and net neccessary in enforcing the point he is making. I feel It takes away from the I intelligence of the conversation slightly. Perhaps its strategic but it doesnt seem natural.

[@vancityjudy]

agreed! Why throw the F word around when your guest is not cursing. Show some respect. And do less talking and let your special guest do most of the talking. Asking questions is important but taking over is just silly. This guy knows his stuff, let him speak. Thank you!

[@areufkingkiddingme]

You are more intelligent because you refrain from using F word?

[@sandynunez7444]

Tom has some very interesting and intelligent guests. His cussing and use of the F word detracts from his lack of vocabulary.

[@ivettevelazquez8648]

Agreed. There is no reason to keep using the “F” bomb every minute.

I was shocked by his language. I thought it was inappropriate and out of place. He's not playing darts, drinking beer with his boys. He is speaking to a highly intelligent man. And he also is an intelligent guy.

My most amazing memories were made while on LSD, I saw the beauty all around me. Endless laughing by myself, I felt my own best friend, my own company was ENOUGH. I walked on clouds my first LSD trip, as if I were truly weightless. I didn’t feel the stress in each step I took, instead I felt the earth...for the first time in my life I felt the earth and I saw her too, and I heard her all around me. Speaking to me, when I closed my eyes I saw myself glowing like a white light around myself in my brain, I was beautiful without looking in the mirror.

Loved this doctor's insights a lot, and want to watch him speaking in a different platform..Was getting thrown off when I was listening.. I don't know if Tom was having an off day, he was getting under my skin in this interview.. He seemed kind of aggressive, cutting Dr. Rahul off and yes for me personally I find when people use F word like any other word, to me I find the person sounds less intelligent.. We all definitely have different opinions and that okay people.. Do you and let others do them.. Anyways all and all I want to hear more from Dr. Rahul.. Very interested in the brain too!! Interesting.. ✌️ 💞

People who use cursewords don’t have a very large vocabulary, and they’re not very intelligent. I think they’re trying to relate to the masses who’s intellectual level is under the ninth grade.
