Humanity’s Meaning Crisis: What Ancient Wisdom & Modern Psychology Reveal | John Vervaeke

[@CoCoBurberry]

The fact that these podcasts come out every weeks feels like something illegal. How can you get such beautiful and absolutely mind blowing conversations EVERY WEEK? All I can say is… Thank you 🙌🏼

[@bluepak]

😂nice…🎉

[@UtterSanctions]

Truly

[@iam_greenlyt]

YES AGREED

[@LorenaCampos-p8s]

Agreed❤

[@maggieconnorhoody6101]

So fantastic!

[@NancyLoMedico]

Andre, you have such great guests on your podcast’s but I must tell you, I truly enjoy your insights! You are so thought provoking and knowledgeable in every interview!!

[@nazlannazarudin5090]

John Vervaeke was my professor in university and I absolutely loved his class. What an incredible teacher

[@elainesuth6771]

So you must be an incredible student then! 😉

[@thomastepfer9861]

​@@elainesuth6771 well, Always needs Both

[@shannondelima3028]

Wow lucky!!

[@matthewparlato5626]

He's my teacher now!! Thru technology Praise God

[@stevenlee9064]

Credit to Andre as this is the best interview of Vervaeke out of many I have listened to.

[@buckfojeiden9251]

25 years ago, while incarcerated, I took a class called cognitive intervention ( basically it was cognitive behavioral therapy) and it was the greatest thing that could have happened to me. I've been out for 20 years and I can definitely thank that class for the fact that I have not gone back.

[@lvxleather]

Right on brother 🙏

[@DonaldShifflett-b6z]

Maybe if they taught that in school there wouldn’t be so many young men going to prison

[@MaryM33778]

I don`t know how many hours of conversations with John I`ve heard, or his own programs. This conversation was the most profound and beautiful and I wanna thank you both for it. And I hope for more. John is a Philosophy by himself. This was so touching and moving. Somehow transcendent. To say "thank you" is not enough.

[@HappyHeretic1035]

I was gonna say the same.

[@MrSurfdude123]

1/3 in and it just seems like basic common sense here - ie “man’s search for meaning” … 56:00 calling qanon pernicious & earlier referring to a supposed rise is nasi’s seems telling of his political alignment, too, 👆ie “professor” = elitist , & doesn’t dare venture into the fray of calling out the invisible hand that feeds him

[@salvereginalaile4336]

Man, he did by yt teaching lots of good in my life! Absolutely fenomenal human

[@lenkazemanova696]

This one suprised me. I didnt think i would be into it but oh my dear - it was beautiful dance. I really admire how Andre is able to keep up with all the guests - being “on” for three hours and provide the guest with the respect, space and enthusiasm. It just has been a pleasure to be witnessing the conecting that was created during the interview. Thank you

[@ari_mas_cas3484]

Andre really does do a great job keeping up with his brilliant guests. Meanwhile, I sometimes feel like 😵‍💫 because of all the info that's coming in & going with the (sometimes rapid) flow of the convo.

[@sherrilawrence662]

You are one of most gracious and open allowing host's out there today 🙌 it's just so absolutely beautiful ❤

[@Robb3348]

so true, and this is a HUGE strength! makes me want to listen to all his interviews because I feel like I'll get a chance to encounter the philosophy of the interviewee in depth.

[@Asif-k3r4p]

A great interview. The best of vervaeke. And kudos to Andre for his energy&wisdom. All silk roads lead to Intelligence.

[@GOOBY-62]

Both times John said " If you want me back , I will come back ." I was moved to tears .

[@chela2910]

😂😂😂

[@dsstephen2173]

This was one of the best interviews i've heard with my intellectual hero, Mr. John Vervaeke. Thank you! Your interview skills are top-notch, and your probative insight with John earned you a "subscribe" from this guy!

[@jlouisa54ever]

Gratitude to John Vervaeke and equally to Andre. It’s as if Andre creates an energetic space that increases with each guest. An architect erecting these pillars of light, as he stands in the center as an exponentiation factor with his own wisdom radiating. The wisdom and humility. Exquisite.

[@janthonycologero9206]

I've listened to hundreds of hours of Vervaeke while driving/working. Starting my own ecology of practices has been life-changing. I truly believe he is doing some of the most important work of our generation. I can't wait to hear more about the philosophical silk Road!

[@DominieRobinson]

Andre I LOVE your comparative example " the difference between holding a menu , and eating a meal " . Excellent !

[@gameaudioshaman]

John Vervaeke is this close 🤏🏼 from becoming the Jazz musician of meaning. In his early appearances I personally found him a little to rigid and technical. He must have had found some „answers“ to his own meaning crisis in the last couple of years. He’s got a whole new vibe to him. I thank both of you for this great conversation.

[@_abracadabra]

I suspect that one of those answers was Sarah.

[@lydiaajohnson]

100% Academicians are gradually coming along. Unless we have a cosmic, this process might take a very long time.

[@polymathpark]

He is practicing the introspection that he preaches. This is a representation of great wisdom.

[@KathleenMoore-fr5fm]

You lit his fire Andre❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kinddate]

Krishnamurti has taught me to be free. "I just don't care" was one of his teachings that taught me to be unafraid and say what I feel. With no fear, there is no hitch in my giddy-up.

[@bloomingwanderer9591]

John has been a precious source of wisdom for me & his Meaning Crisis series shifted the ground of reality for me in such a profound way. I’ve since started women’s circles where we flow through qi gong, meditation, contemplative journaling, conscious conversation & communal ritual to reconnect with life - this whole discussion is deeply aligned with the exploration & experience we’re welcoming. It’s life changing! This convo is one of the BEST comprehensive threads I’ve seen from John so far ❤️‍🔥 so rich. Thank you for this sacred dialogos guys!

[@AbbyMoneyhun]

18:54 is pure gold. We think “You find the “one” and they will make you complete” …yet the thing that often brings the most suffering is romantic relationships! How ironic is that? ❤

[@jillannma]

So freaking true ugh...😢 unfortunately it's making me stay single.

[@eliw5160]

Thank you Andre for doing what you’re doing, your work in bringing together so many great minds and sharing it with all of us could potentially be creating an unimaginable ripple effect in the future of mankind. 🤙

[@elizabethmadness5277]

Love how he describes the difference between idol and icon. It is a horrible feeling to be someone’s idol.

[@Rayven145]

Immense gratitude for this conversation. Know thyself is not an autobiography, it is a knowing of the user manual. Brilliant!

[@gigikiwi79]

I just love this Podcast and all the guest you have on. It’s mind candy. ❤

[@Ventissima]

Thanks so much to a intervistated person .....finally I could feel the authentic Compassion for some-body telling his tormentous story about his childhood and school-period. When he was talking about it he was so sorry...but I feeled Compassion about his past soffer, even he is almost shy about it.❤ Such a wonderfull story of his life he shared with us. Thank You both!❤ GOD BLESSED YOU!

[@ZoeMaughan]

So so captivated by this interview and so much in there working in ways beyond my understanding. I admit I have not come across John before but I loved receiving the clear amount of knowledge and wisdom from him and then seeing in his eyes this awe and wonderment which feels innocent and childlike. Andre gives so much respect and space too and always seems to give the perfect response to keep things moving but also allow the depth of a subject to be felt. Love it!!! And would be super interested to see a second interview.

[@danieljohnson2218]

Absolutely love John V. Incredible content and brilliant delivery. This is definitely a double listener of a podcast

[@OnekamaProducts]

This man has altered my path, thus altering the paths of many more, I am very grateful for both of you.

[@valerienash6425]

John is an embodiment of what he points to. Even when i have a hard time following intellectually, I feel/ sense/ manage to learn by example. He is the best kind of teacher. His excitement is contagious and his quality of innocence helps me disarm my heart and notions about the world. I was really touched by how you two connected. Male intimacy is very precious to witness, thank you brothers! Andre - please get Daniel Schmactenberger too. Another man who walks his talk and is not simply an intellectual.!

[@Ben_D.]

This was better than I had anticipated. Didn't know of him previous.

[@Cromeola]

I am expanding because of your channel, thank you Andre

[@robinking3604]

Don't let people project onto you who they think you should be, just breath just be.😊

[@diamondunicorn2421]

Beautiful comment!

[@LucaNova101]

That’s true, and I really don’t like it when it happens to me. The art, however, is to recognize it consciously.

[@janesmith8050]

*breathe

[@salutsoleil3682]

And don’t let them to project onto you what they think about themselves.

[@girardnewkirk8754]

Best Podcast on the internet…Thank you!

[@christycaseda]

I got it now. Thank you so much John and Andre. Wow! What a Mystical Being You both are.

[@mogeaux]

I know now that I will closely rewatch this because it is so full of truly useful information, knowledge and wisdom! Well done 👍🏼 ❤

[@karenleafe5344]

Walking The Philosophical Silk Road is the very thing I have been waiting to hear about, and have been putting feelers out for since completing my MA in the neo-platonic tradition, including cosmology and divination studies. I have tried to talk to many about this language for the sacred, ai have run an open philosophy group in my home town for over 6 yrs, and even with interested folk it has been SO hard to bring forth the dialogues. Thank yo SO MUCH Andre for bring this conversation into the world. I have been inspired by every conversation you have put out, but this one is so very exiting of my deepest passions!!! On fire 🔥

[@rhonda9780]

When it comes to problem solving and adaptive response, or insight relevance, realization; we can passively wait for an insight through ask, wait and listen. In my experience,we tend to feel uncomfortable in the silence of passively waiting for the insight to be realized. What am I missing in this situation? What is the best possible action I can take in this situation for the best of all concerned? One of my biggest challenges has been to use insight, being aware of what is going on in another rather than being so totally ingrossed in my own world. Un consiously aware of what what is going on with the other through active listening, being connected, holding space for the other while being in one's own integrity. Thank you for all your knowledge. This really applies to me living my most beautiful life

[@Morariu94]

WOW! You got Prof. Vervaeke on the podcast!? Dude that's amazing. I love his work

[@Mgt44411]

What an INCREDIBLE conversation! "The advent of the Sacred" Can't wait! ☀️

[@matthewparlato5626]

Dr John Vervaeke is the most wise and virtuous man ive encountered in 35 years of life. May God protect and bless him 🙏

[@jkendall3445]

My goodness! this conversation was an absolute pleasure!! Thank you both for what was shared and created together ❤

[@nathanielpeton516]

Wow! So delighted to hear this podcast. Please bring John back, much more to uncover. John, I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on Wilber. I love the feeling of equanimity you share with. Thank you

[@Humanity_Unleashed]

Maaaazing conversation. Thank you to both for existing 🙌 the world is changing 🔥

[@stephengreen5087]

Andre, I think you will be remembered as one of the best conversationalists of our time. Keep it going dude 👍

[@idatong976]

How suitable to have John Vervaeke here! I love his enthusiasm and sincerity for sharing. I can never get tired of learning from him and I do hope that he'll reach enlightenment as he wishes. Thank you very much.

[@karenleafe5344]

I now know that I will move through the world and always be open and hopeful to find others with whom I can explore this journey back into meaning. ❤

[@rosalieyutani1109]

I’m deeply grateful to both of you , this is so important knowledgeable and helpful wisdom to hear. Sending love to both of you💞🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🙇‍♀️.

[@joecastro6523]

What an amazing conversation, we are so blessed to have this opportunity to listen to such great knowledge and wisdom.

[@tara_artist]

One of the best interviews with Verveake thus far. Bravo. Great questions

[@electrarafael55]

André you're phenomenal. Thank you so much for your service!! Thank you to Mr John Vervaeke for not holding back and for his immense work. For being able to provide such clearance to his years of exploration. And to all the guests that share their knowledge so generously. Deeply grateful for alllowing hope to rise once again.🙏

[@stevenlee9064]

Thanks for sharing your personal story as it makes your work more relatable. I have wondered why I haven’t sensed a closeness from you when you are with Jordan Peterson but now I can see that your early experience of people may be the key reason. We do need wisdom and sages in life and you are one.

[@MatthewAllen-d5j]

I feel Humanity is on the Cuspe of turning in the right direction at the Cossroads of our existence when I hear great minds articulate their experiences so honestly and profoundly 🤗

[@Mgt44411]

André, this was one of the most amazing conversations I have ever heard! Your comments and questions are so extremely intelligent and thoughtful! The flow state you created here was incredible! Am so much looking forward to more! Thank you!☀️

[@WinteFoxWisdom]

This is the one of the best & most 'meaningful' conversations ive heard in a podcast. Thanks to both of you for enhancing this 'participatory' wisdom 😊

[@SisterSunnyFreeSpirit]

❤ Andre’s skill for questioning and interviewing. Right topics. Right time for our Human Family! 🙏 This juicy bucket of topics align with my work purpose so very awesome and insightful! I continue to send people here!Namaste! Going Deeper … Together!

[@antonyliberopoulos933]

Thank you John and Andre, for such an enjoyable and rich conversation. A truly top rate podcast.

[@juliaszabados148]

❤ Fabulous conversation! Ty both 🕊️💕✨

[@pabloravizzoli345]

Wow. This conversation gave me dozens of moments of curiosity vertigo. Every branch of the conversation is worth years of contemplation. Thank you 🙏

[@d.s.ramirez6178]

Thank you both… more than words can convey. I feel like this conversation places so many sign posts on the most important path one can take. So much good work to do! Thank you 🙏

[@RobinTurner]

Wonderful dialogue here. "Relationships should not be the ultimate, but they should be nourished by the ultimate." "Well said!" "You said that." "Oh! Well said, John." 😆

[@Servingsmiles816]

Orientation over purpose. Amen. Something to guide you in each moment. I appreciate this. 31:00

[@MilanTopalski-r1d]

Благодарим ви!

[@badreddine.elfejer]

Every JV conversation is profoundly captivating

[@victorvispetto2367]

Great teachers love their work, it's apparent how much these guys have to offer, take that from this soon to be 72. year old student.

[@javedrizvi5739]

At the end there was a moment of love where both did not the conversation to end and say good bye. Have always loved John and his passion towards his work. Kudos to Mr podcaster for one more Amazing podcast. Great questions brother. Keep it up!

[@johnebner4102]

This is hitting hard off the bat, so many things in the first 6 minutes that reflect my childhood with scary accuracy.

[@suelangdon7738]

Thank you Andre and John. Imagine a conversation between John and Rupert Spira ….

[@ArronSturgeonPaintings-so2xc]

This is one of the best interviews I've ever watched. Thank you for this.

[@karenleafe5344]

Kairological time and its understanding is my other passion! You have delivered to me a real modern day hero! The conclusion was self fulfilling! Sublime dialogue!!! It matters to me so much and truly changes the way in which I will walk through life, feeling so much less alone 🙏

[@jillannma]

This was amazing..OK I needed to rewind and look stuff up but this blew my mind. John insights on life makes me want to meditate more. I truly find inner peace and wisdom in meditation. Ty so much for your beautiful channel. Oh and love the rapid fire questions they were truly inspirational. Ty ty so much please have John back.

[@drkaushikt6926]

Its the highest of pleasures to FLOW while listening to John!

[@forbearancemp5283]

I see him as the "Dr House" of Philosophy 😄

[@iamcarmenmaria]

Thank you for creating this space to share this knowledge 💗

[@berwidezenard4204]

This conversation was extremely powerful. Thank you

[@carotorres1597]

Wow an incredible interview! I love all the things you show in here . Thanks 🙏

[@melanieduan]

André, you got amazing guests and your deep questions give each interview a very special touch. I love a lot of the points mentioned and I will reflect them more deeply. I love the rapid fire closing answers. Like we're in a Chiros and this is where the systems are most unstable but at this point individual actions can make most difference. And I also deeply appreciate the comment where dialogos develop a live of themselves. I tried this locally with a journalist and 2 professors. But it seems to be difficult if not both people are really wanting to open up to the other side. I dived a little deeper into Spiral Dynamics which I love. This model to me describes why conversations with some people do not bring this level of deepness and creating anything new. Thank you!!!

[@fredflints]

Andre, I love how you allow your guests to talk without excessive interruptions. I have subscribed!

[@karenadam3764]

Thanks!

[@dorothybailey1789]

This conversation literally blew my mind! So inspiring, thank you🙏🙏

[@dalibofurnell]

Please do have John vervaeke back! Thanks for the conversation ❤

[@susan8822]

I need to Google this man's every other word. I love to extend my vocabulary. I'm finding it hard to comprehend his story because my curiosity has me looking up the definition of every word.

[@lady159runner]

This is so my energy! Thank you for this reading! And encouragement!

[@hlt23h23]

Amazing 3h on the road. It felt like carpooling with two brilliant minds. This one is for the hall of fame ❤

[@Mallory03]

So completely enthralled in this conversation. Please have it continued 🙏

[@tford1552]

Another brilliant guest. Thank you, Andre.

[@iam_greenlyt]

this is brilliant

[@LoneSimonsen-yl6jc]

You have been here through the whole awakening and you have been a great inspiration for me and many others! Happy New Year to you and everyone in the world 🎉 Everyone is our brothers and sisters, even if they don’t know! ❤

[@riffking2651]

Both of you are in fine form in this one! Thanks for such a wonderful and rich conversation

[@staceyd669]

Making me cry. My adopted mother was forced into marriage bc of religious beliefs also. She seemed to hate me. Life is a journey... I was abandoned at birth. I broke up two families. The Sky is my father. The Earth is my mother. I majored in Wisdom in college. ❤ And have a personal connection to the prophet Jesus.

[@michellelingg8795]

I’m watching this again but taking notes! So profound! ❤❤❤

[@hk2470]

Pls never stop doing episodes like this 🙏

[@greatwisdomconnections]

Love this podcast! Incredible smart people to listen to and learn how to understand your own patterns and deceptions. Very humbling and encouraging. Thank you Andre!

[@thiuniverse]

Loved the deep conversation! Thank you

[@chela2910]

Wow wow Mind blowing 😊 Love the idea of transcending in gods field as it opens up to me while I move on it and become like god on my way to wisdom.

[@KathleenMoore-fr5fm]

You lit his fire Andre❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@hediehtehrani4578]

Would loooove to see Michael Singer on your podcast!!

[@nathandouglas624]

After a long year of integration back into social life, I'm in that flowing through life om tat sat, lucidly awake, compassionate indifference to different. Experiencing awareness at microbial and planetary scale with mental interaction, beyond dimensional forms. Enlightening. It seems like a continuous dmt or something drip constantly. Meditation practice increases intensity of experience. Cool.

[@critter_paws]

Andre, you have a beautiful way of holding space. You are truly an artist and your art "washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life". I "officially" became a Philosophy major way back in 2008, although I don't believe there was actually a beginning and will ever been an end. I don't want to flip back and forth to make sure I spell his name correctly although I will certainly be pursuing his work; I am surprised this is the first time I've been introduced to John V. It's good to see true philosophers making a comeback. Thank you both so much, this was a beautiful dialogue.

[@jonnyrainbow1]

I am Loving this discussion. You say more in one sentance than alot of people say in a lifetime! Very absorbing and thought provoking.

[@Buck-pm6xx]

Thank you to both of you for helping me realize how delusional I can be, but also letting me know that I am on the path of finding true meaning and feeling self worth. Also I have a lot of studying to do on my vocabulary words. Especially in short hand. Phycological jargan. Trying to follow along with some of the things you guys were talking about was very humbling. With love and admiration Ira Duane Emmons.

[@12th-House]

Superb conversation about some of the most important aspects today IMHO. I have seen John before but this was so much more meaningful in many ways. Excellent. Also my first encounter with this channel and André Duqum presents a very mature and intelligent researcher. Subscribed !

[@corriebrink2885]

One of the greatest talks I have had the privilege to experience. Ty . Enforces my logo - go slow

[@annsuo3398]

It's John! I love seeing a familiar face 😊 Thank you Andre!

[@42_On_a_mission]

Wow this is all really eye opening for this modern world. Talking about losing network. I can relate to this. As we become alone. The Meaning Crisis. This is all so interesting given how social media has such an impact on the world these days. People are losing connection is one key I'm taking away from this. Individualism on the rise? Being the other?
