I do not have any idea how many people Sam Harris has reached with his thoughts but I am glad that he reached me. Truly a treasure of our times. There are so few people who realize the wisdom of their thoughts and combine that with articulate the same. His meditations and podcasts are never a waste of time. Truth and ethical grounding drive his explanations of free will, the self and the nature conscienceness. I know he has diminished my suffering especially as our politically divided nation bickers.

Sam played a major role in my de-conversion from religion, and I was then introduced to mindfulness and meditation through his books and his app. I have been practicing for about 6 months and it has been nothing short of totally liberating and life changing. I recommend it for anyone and everyone! Hope everyone has a wonderful day 🥰🥰

@kristine sansone I'm sorry you had a bad experience with "religion". Most of the principles the guy talks about stem in most religions. The most important thing "religion" acknowledges -and meditation does not -is the fact you have to give to live. To give until it hurts sometime. That is a profound mission to undertake. Love is at the core of Religion (at least Western religions) and I'm convinced only love makes us human. With time you will understand that "emptying" yourself is not the answer. wish you luck in your journey and hope you have a wonderful day as well.

There is only one advice, become mindful by meditation. I’m using sam’s app for 55 days I’ve done 25 hours of meditation, I’m so lost in thoughts, but now I can notice them for like 100 times in a day and that’s the most wonderfully thing that ever happened to me. I was feeling sadness before because some events that happened and now I might still feel it but when I’m recognizing my thoughts the mental pain is different, the life of it is shorter and that’s mindfulness. Ty so much Sam.

I have enjoyed meditation for decades. Without drugs, without therapy. It really helps you find your balance and finding balance helps you see things in a more realistic manner. It keeps you from making a fool of yourself and keeps you out of trouble. If you get off center you behave, like an eccentric. That may be quirky, but it's not really good for most people. Lady Gaga, can be like that, but not really good for office workers.

Buddhism is a religion, too. Many buddhists say it isn't, and in my opinion it's the best religion we have. But it IS a religion. I've lived in a buddhist monastery for while, studying meditation (I'm a psychologist) and had to do things that just didn't make any sense. A lot of it had to do with forcing myself to do things. When I asked questions why we are doing those (like 108 bows at 4 o'clock in the morning), I didn't receive satifying answers. Quite often Buddhism seems to me as if one has to fight with something in oneself. Just start loving, accepting and especially trying to understand yourself - it's the greatest gift you can make as well yourself as the world around you.
@iAmYouAreWe3 жыл бұрын
Another expample is the damn pain - pain mostly is sign that something is going wrong and you stould take a look at it.

MDMA did no upgrade for my brain. Nor did acid. They simply gave me a fun experience. They didnt open up anything for me I didn't already have access to. I learned to meditate and found peace and calm finally around age 27. My depression and anxiety disappeared. But I DO agree that this feeling and realization is the foundation of peace and the ability to achieve nirvana or something close to it. It was that sense of love that guided me to inner peace.

Hi Lewis, I am enjoying all the guests you have, that speak to their different paths to success in their respective disciplines. I wonder...part of one's success also incorporates one's self-care. Is there a way one could re-frame that in a more masculine context or presentation? Or do you have guests in mind that could speak to that? For example, a grad school colleague of mine use to mention that his father would camp out in the woods of North Carolina for a month, away from his family in order to get his own self- care in but wouldn't necessarily call it that. Thoughts? Many thanks...🙏

It is my opinion that the "regular, narcissistic state" we all seem to exist in most of the time, is not actually a manifestation of being human but has been forced to be our default self because of the twisted society we have set up for ourselves- namely, capitalism. Now, obviously, capitalism has provided enormous wealth for the world, helped with world hunger, and has lifted countless millions out of poverty. But, the system we have set up particularly in the west is one that simply goes against our nature as human beings, and promotes the OPPOSITE of the state of being Sam is talking about! Now, eventually one can learn to exist within this Western society and still hold onto a sense of calm and peace, but everyone cannot. The system won't allow it. The system demands at least some of us to live with constant lack of sleep, poor nutrition, unreasonable work hours and constant progress and endless profits coming from finite resources. One of those finite resources is A HUMAN BEING! Our Western (and increasingly spread through the world) way of life has turned us into a society FULL of anxious, miserable narcissists. This is the exact opposite of what one requires to practice meditation, mindfulness, and especially to learn to access those states like a light switch. I doubt a narcissist is capable of meditation, actually. I think they could pretend to. They could probably fool themselves into thinking they did, but in actuality I believe they lack the hardware for true meditation. And obviously they would be awful at practicing mindfulness. Anyone disagree?

Harris can not possibly have had a religious experience - a truly meaningful one where life begins to make sense. I hope he remains open enough to allow it to occur one day, even if he doesn’t believe it will. If you haven’t felt the hand of the peaceful, loving God, you need to allow the possibility of it occurring. No words can explain the reality when it hits you. The measure of peace you feel is indescribable. All those who use religion to harm others have not truly received the word. True religion is peace and love only.

I disagree with some of Sam’s philosophies ie ‘once aged 40 evolution no longer cares about us especially if no kids or grandkids’. Of course people over 40 have value, they can nurture others, share wisdom and make a difference. In fact there are no shortages of people so not everyones purpose is to have kids.

This is the saddest comment I read here. Sam’s message could actually really improve humanity. If we had more leaders like him we would have less wars, we would have a better understand of religious differences and we would learn to tolerate each other’s differences. We would learn from each other and learn to love one another instead of segregating one another. With that said I understand what you must be going thru, NYC keeps you on your feet and doesn’t give you time to think for yourself because you’re always on the move. Sometimes humans we need this in order to survive, there’s a great book namely “denial of death” talks about the hero and how we think we would be the ones to survive a war and eventually tell stories to our kids and so on. However we’re always doing something to distract us from the inevitable. Granted this is dangerous knowledge and most people wouldn’t be able to handle this information. Anyways thank you for this comment it gives me an insight on human behavior. Have a great day))) 😊
