So glad Russell is out of the "celebrity" world and culture, he is so much more intelligent than that world and have so much to offer.

[@r1tz66]

Love your comment as it’s so true. People who love the so called ‘celebrity’ world probably wouldn’t understand. Russell has always been intelligent but thankfully found himself and his inner peace before mainstream media and society could ruin him 🙏

Jay Shetty has confirmed my perspective/perception of life. It is about time that we have amalgamated education, self-awareness and scientific reasoning to our life journey. I can completely resonate with his life experiences and thank the lord we have this spectacular man voicing his knowledge. Thank you for the broadcast.

After I took acid I was thinking constantly while my mind felt really open and one of the things I realized was that love and understanding and peace are one in the same and that if you knew a persons entire story, if you knew every detail of their inner and outer life either with a person or the world communities at large their would never be any way to be angry, jealous or resentful. If you had a complete understanding of any given person or event, only complete love would be left. Therefor these negative emotions are a direct result of a lack of understanding

The cookie thief story is not Jay Shetty's. He should have given credit to Valerie Cox. The Cookie Thief by Valerie Cox A woman was waiting at an airport one night, with several long hours before her flight. She hunted for a book in the airport shops, bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop. She was engrossed in her book but happened to see, that the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be. . .grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between, which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene. So she munched the cookies and watched the clock, as the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock. She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by, thinking, “If I wasn’t so nice, I would blacken his eye.” With each cookie she took, he took one too, when only one was left, she wondered what he would do. With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, he took the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered her half, as he ate the other, she snatched it from him and thought… oooh, brother. This guy has some nerve and he’s also rude, why he didn’t even show any gratitude! She had never known when she had been so galled, and sighed with relief when her flight was called. She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate, refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate. She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat, then she sought her book, which was almost complete. As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise, there was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes. If mine are here, she moaned in despair, the others were his, and he tried to share. Too late to apologize, she realized with grief, that she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief.

Why some people are so negative? Jay never said he created the story; he mentioned several times "reference", "study", "research", ... He only said he made the video based on his study; I didn't hear anything where he said he invented the story ... that's just me ... Of course all of the wisdoms have been there before, thousand years/centuries ago, written everywhere; he just used the modern media to spread it ... that's why he is the modern monk ... I don't see anything wrong with it ... why don't you spread something good like him? On the other hand, even if he ever starts to take credits for everything, I believe one day he'll realise that it would be the beginning of his end. I do not think I wish people like him who are sharing positive conscience get pulled down by people who are doing nothing but only try to bring down the others.

[@spiritualbypassers]

Danke Russell! One thing that in my opinion makes you stand out as an interviewer is: You are not afraid to ask any highly skeptical question that comes to your mind regardless of how you expect the other person to answer your question. You don't let any bullshit talk slip though. Everytime Jay says something that sounds plausible and is a great story you cut through it with a great question and make Jay answer it very honestly because he doesn't know what else to say than the truth.

[@spinnie0]

It's an interesting thing. How many people seem to think one must "transcend" their humanity in order to become full-fledged humans. It's been said time and again by many great minds including the Buddha that this (renunciation) is not the way. As Ram Dass says, "you're here on Earth as a human, just like you once were in school, why don't you try and take the curriculum?". Live, laugh, love. Those ARE the positive emotions we are all striving for. Renouncing everything that inspires those emotions is entirely unnecessary, they're what we're looking for! The problem is in attachment and craving. You don't NEED all those to be a full-fledged alive human being, but they're wonderful when they do occur! Sure you will naturally grow into a state of equanimity if you continue the spiritual path until old age, but when you're young, energetic, ambitious, nothing wrong with that!

The Cookie Thief" is a poem written by Valerie Cox and made famous by Dr. Wayne Dyer's reading of it, and featured in Chicken Soup For The Soul. www.chickensoup.com/book-story/35305/the-cookie-thief. Many videos have been made telling the story of the Cookie Thief dating back to 1998 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKbKZZKLo8uJb5I. The credit of the story does not belong to Jay Shetty. It is a false attempt by him to own the idea or inspiration for the telling or video production of the exact same story. Why would a person who has stated in interviews that he questions his intentions everyday not give credit to the author and creator of this story rather than attempting to pass it off as his creative search for a way to illustrate our biases and inspired by studies that highlight our biases? The actual story of the cookie thief perhaps owes its origin to Douglas Adams’ “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish”, 1984, where he tells the same story based on his own real experience set in a train station and involving a biscuit rather than a cookie. There are also similar stories that have appeared in British newspapers in the 1970s. www.patrickwanis.com/the-cookie-thief-twisted-assumptions-judgments-perception/

I expect he does mean well, but he doesn't have the real truth inside him... We can all be guilty of this, but humility is the essence of wisdom, and taking credit for others work, or not acknowledging them is not humble. So sad to see trends run away like this un-questioned (until now)

[@js6426]

The perception and understanding not only the stories; but the words and the meaning of the speaker...........Everything has sooo many many meanings to it catch the light and play in the dark blessed be

[@cvece777]

This Jay Shetty guy is insinuating as he came up with the idea of The Cookie Thief analogy, when actually it's an old poem by Valerie Cox. I had always a wierd unsetteling feeling about the guy, Didn't know why tho. I guess this explains it a bit more. This is one of the times I'd actually prefered I wasn't right. Truly hope he will work on himself and evolve.

[@christopherdixon5586]

He's been accused of plagiarism numerous times. So yeah, important that he credits the intellectual authors where it's due

[@getoutandshoot8496]

That's why he did his interview to explain it all: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4ixoJ53e7GKrck

[@bethoverby1]

The unpacking is the key. As a society we use words and talk about ideals and practices, but we do not show people how that looks as they walk through a day in the real life. I get that we are all unique in our walk, but people need to be able to apply the concepts. The thoughts must move beyond thoughts to a true vision and if a person has never lived in that world, they can not visualize it.

[@rena5446]

You guys are on the right track and so inspiring. Excited to see what you do in the future. Thank you for your service and compassion for our world.

Breathe in & Breathe out - the perfect duality of our experience. Only this little process gives us the possibility to judge. So the amount of breaths we take, determine the quality of our judgements and no-judgements. Judgements are always bound to point out a thing or a just a part of reality, but it can never grasp reality as whole, otherwise it would contradict its own nature. That is why breath, can lead you to the experience of no-judgement - simple because you remain in non-duality, as it is. Thank you Russel & Jay. I am so grateful that so many of us help illuminating this age. I as well made it mission to offer tools for self-development and well-being to everyone. Wishing everyone a blessed week :)

Thank you for this podcast! I really resonated with everything you talked about. It was awesome to see you two, some of my favourite pop/spiritual figures having a conversation.

[@tmr2320]

That’s actually a poem written by a young lady that Wayne Dyer quoted and gave proper credit to in a speech he had given at a conference which can be found here on KZbin. I had so much respect for Jay Shetty until now. Such a shame because he could’ve given credit to the person who actually wrote the material and all would’ve been well.

There's wisdom there at 34:50 about neglecting the body at the expense of the mind. The reverse can happen too, and often does! Assessing the mind-body-spirit balance is a strong principle in the study of Steps to Knowledge and the New Message from God.

The Cookie Thief by Valerie Cox A woman was waiting at an airport one night, with several long hours before her flight. She hunted for a book in the airport shops, bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop. She was engrossed in her book but happened to see, that the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be. . .grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between, which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene. So she munched the cookies and watched the clock, as the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock. She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by, thinking, “If I wasn’t so nice, I would blacken his eye.” With each cookie she took, he took one too, when only one was left, she wondered what he would do. With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, he took the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered her half, as he ate the other, she snatched it from him and thought… oooh, brother. This guy has some nerve and he’s also rude, why he didn’t even show any gratitude! She had never known when she had been so galled, and sighed with relief when her flight was called. She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate, refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate. She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat, then she sought her book, which was almost complete. As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise, there was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes. If mine are here, she moaned in despair, the others were his, and he tried to share. Too late to apologize, she realized with grief, that she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief.

Ya and that's why it's covered in this other interview he did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4ixoJ53e7GKrck

[@yes7855]

EXACTLY omg!!! That part with describing the process was really the last straw. I don’t understand him at all 😭😭 What does he get from this, I’m sure he already has enough money??? Is he really believing what people say, that he’s inspiring?? Has he himself really forgotten that he’s full of shit?? Oof. I’d be happy if Russell really did know like you said, that would be amusing at least!! 😭🍀

With all due respect, merely breath work is not Vipassana mate. Vipassana is a much deeper technique that focuses on the interconnections between mind & body which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body, and that continuously interconnect and condition the life of the mind. This technique is taught at 10-day residential courses, held at various centres around the world. :)

I've heard Valerie Cox's Cookie story many times but from the perspective of the person taking the cookies. It's evergreen.

[@eftixismeni2010]

The reason why material things don’t bring happiness is because of the continual aim to obtain these things. It’s a constant source of stress in our lives. Part of Awakening is basically saying wait a minute, why do I need all this stuff? I’ve been working hard all my life I have all the stuff and I’m not happy. And who says I have to have all the stuff? It’s breaking out of that illusion. If you let go of all that materialistic stuff, it’s like lifting 1000 pounds off of your back. You will never find the freedom and peace and joy that it gives you in the material world. The relationship to materialism is akin to Stockholm syndrome. Think about it.

I was so looking forward to watching this , until he said he made it up . There’s something about jay shetty that’s shady and that has just highlighted my observation . I have always been a massive fan of him , but this just pisses me off , Plus I have noticed he put up a lot of quotes from other people and puts his name under it making people think it was him .

[@cvece777]

@@nidgemcmorrow2082 I was looking forward to watching this too, I heard lot's about the guy. I droped onto his page here and there, but somehow I was put of by him. Only a few days ago I listened through the intreveiw hi did with Novak Djokovic the tennis player, It was so heavy to watch, Novak was opening up but Jay seemed bored and uninterested, fake to say the least. Made me sad and angry at the same time. Novak never deserves anything like that. Thank you for that opservation, opens my eyes a bit more, would love to be wrong about him, we don't need more spiritual people covertly driven by ego, but at the end, I'm glad my intuition works. I just hope he puts in the effort to be/do beter.
