Thanks for watching! To learn more about FAR, my new vegan men's run gear made from recycled materials in collaboration with Ten Thousand, visit: tenthousand.cc/FAR

[@spiritualbeing2578]

I wish I had a significant other just so I could spoil him with this great gear....time for you to get Ms. Pappis involved so we ladies can have great gear too!!!

[@hmwhatisthis]

I think that 72 hour rule simply is not true. Intuition appears at the moment when all our senses are involved. At that point, our understanding of reality expands and we simply "know" that it is so.

[@TwasNeverThus2]

Lots of info out there on Guru Singh's complicity...including press releases by one of his former employees. By the way, have you seen this yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJfVZp2Bltqqqqc

[@simplyrik1496]

Much wisdom In my 76 years I have developed two cardinal rules 1) I am neither greater than nor less than any other being 2) It is not for me to make any other being wrong Peace and blessings

*"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." - Marcus Aurelius*

[@mr.c2485]

If that were true wouldn’t people choose to have a mind that’s pleasant?

[@richardmorehouse2165]

Perhaps the most provoking conversation to date. Perhaps the most eloquent, beautiful, and peaceful singing voice I have ever heard. As soon as he started, emotions kicked in.

[@spiritualbeing2578]

Wow, this casual chat between 2 super tuned in dudes was so on point for me. I'm just passed 1.5 yrs sobriety & am acutely aware that I've spent the majority of my life winging it. It's a miracle I made it this far. The gift of trusting yourself & forgiveness is like no other. Thank you for this great take on life. Awareness. Clarity. Peace. 🤗🤗🍂🌿🍁🐿

[@n8sterling727]

Keep it up brother, Im right there with you. Keep it in the 24 and in God

[@spiritualbeing2578]

@@n8sterling727 thank you. It has now been 2.5 yrs. I struggle with figuring out how sober me fits into the world. I need to rely on my HP entirely...work in progress. Thanks for your comment. Nice of you.

[@davidsimpson1905]

Rich, I've been listening to your pod for years. But I especially love listening to your conversations with Guru Singh. Please continue brining these conversations to us, they bring so much joy to my day.

[@nandspeartree7263]

I love Guru Singh, such wisdom and a calming and supportive voice, it's like he's talking directly to me.🌿

[@compassionsix]

My absolute favorite guest! Peace plants

[@kathleenkulp240]

When I was teaching, our school had a rule that emails would not be answered for 48 hours. It was a VERY wise rule, and saved many of us from responding to inflammatory remarks in an emotional and unprofessional way. Sort of like the old childhood rule "count to 10 before you act"

[@godseed79]

Not everyone has access to someone outside of themselves who can serve as a mentor, or guide, etc. Sometimes we have to get low enough to become introspective and really assess the result we're getting and ask ourselves why. There's no escaping the need to become one's own guide. I've found immense strength and growth in being able to force myself to dig deep and rely on myself rather than having someone else to go to for problem solving.

[@anaban7246]

Love it everytime there is a new Guru Singh podcast. Hopefully he'll be guest soon again. And it would be so nice to also hear from you Rich, on the topic of how you deal with negative brain and catastrophizing.

[@margarett_b]

0:33 Before I even start listening to the podcast, I just want to appreciate one of the nicest commercials I have seen in a long long time. Great job of the Ten Thousand team!

[@bernice730]

This is a talk I will listen to over and over again. So many gems. Thank you Rich for all your hard work into bringing these incredible guests on to speak and for your vulnerability. You are changing the world

[@perryguy123]

My girlfriend and I were together 6 years and we lived together. I waited months before making the final decision to end things so hearing the 72 hour rule made me feel a little better… Sometimes if the intuition persists long enough, you have to take a chance on the unknown.

[@DemetriPanici]

*"Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants." - Epictetus*

[@MsShura]

This was a beautiful conversation. I’ve received pearls that will alter how I reply to the outside world

[@wanderingrambler5565]

Guru Singh is one of my podcast favourites! Thank you both for sharing your time to record and also time producing this. Just got back from my morning swim and sauna session, eating while enjoying the podcast now. Peace, Plants!

[@DonaldWilliam]

His guitar playing is definitely guru level. Had to listen to that twice just to check if he was really making it sound like that live with one table mic.

[@paulplett]

Absolutely incredible. And the song at the end was transcendent. Thanks so much for sharing! ❤

[@JonasAnandaKristiansson]

A real man. Wisdom, love, truth

[@kevinbparry]

Beautiful conversation and song

[@sorayapoulin]

The song was a marvellous way to end this podcast episode ❤

[@j0vandeven]

I love these conversations, it is so enlightening to hear that we all have the same struggles but it isn’t hopeless. Thank you for these drops of wisdom. I loved the one about forgiveness being forward giving.

[@dvo84]

This talk was absolutely on my wavelength. God bless 🙏❤️

[@TechOutAdam]

Human beings are truly more superhuman than we think. We have so much potential we have forgotten from our ancestors and that we don't utilize today, I'm huge on intuition and like he said build it everyday not being controlled by the sympathetic nervous system as much by impulse. This was great! 🤠

[@julieanna8811]

Thank you so much Rich Roll and Guru Singh! This was such a wonderful way to enjoy my morning off, cooking and baking while hanging with the Multiverse Gurus... Divine Wisdom 🌠

[@claudieharris9046]

I wanted so much more of his singing and guitar playing !! But of course I still loved the wisdom always oozing from him. [Lots of wisdom coming from you too, Rich] Maybe next time he comes he can play guitar and sing for a longer time. PRETTY PLEASE !!!!

[@micahflash]

I recently discovered your podcast. I just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying it. Your such a cool guy! And so easy to listen to you. Thank you for all you do ❤️🙏

[@ShamanicLightHealing]

I love the intro also you guys give me butterflies every time you have a conversation. Thank you you two beautiful souls 💝

[@lisengel2498]

I like your circeldance on the four eyes and for me its about being able to improvise in an open way where your awareness is truly open rooted in the eye of the heart - in a continuous give and receive the vibrTional synkinaesthetic feeling of the lived now - always honoring all Life 🎶💜🎵🦄

[@karenishness1]

Oh, so lucky and blessed to watch this. What a musician- what an inspirational soul!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GizaByrd]

I love these episodes with the two of you - always so insightful ❤

[@LightRenowned]

Thank you Rich, I have listened to many of your podcasts, your voice is calming, and I have found some good to carry with me, and some realization of true self, the one with guided intuition, and the ability to have control over impulses. Those that impart a negative view, have a negative view, and probably benefit most by their own denial of the part of themselves that they refuse to see in you. So they need the most help then.

[@SarahBorn-yd1um]

I just love this podcast. such a gift!

[@nickschwenk5262]

I’ve watched this 3 times. Great set

[@mollynedantas7269]

you guys are soulmates, matches so well

[@drewe9514]

Brothers from other mothers!

[@viktoriiasafonova677]

I love to listen both of you! Thanks, peace, plants!

[@katm2975]

Love Guru Singh - amazing!!

[@aaronldame5118]

Damn..., so good. Thank you so much to you both. I needed that

[@noellerizzato3914]

You guys thank you for this beautiful gift of yours ! I also love 💕 your honesty and vulnerability, what you open from your self Rich! It touches my myself and I find it inspiring, real ….

[@nateshattuck4353]

Love the guru always a fun conversation thanks RR

[@GalactusOG]

I appreciate the timestamps. Only legit channels do it.

[@LightRenowned]

You can’t save them all, haters gonna hate… and the above measurement of our love.

[@eyesintheskies]

It’s exactly the same with 12step meetings , zoom great and saved my life in lockdown but there’s something different in the physical meetings. I mean you can’t hug a computer screen can you (sure there’s those that do but that’s not the point) Tanks for reminding me to get my ass to a meeting. Long overdue!

[@veganspacemonkey]

Finally. I've been waiting for another episode of Guru Multiverse. Also, loving the intro. I thought your production quality was already very high, yet you've managed to push it even further upwards. Looking forward to the listen!

[@LivingConsciouslywithMC]

Absolutely loved and enjoyed this conscious conversation soooo much 🙏🏻 Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to both of you for being those Tall Trees 🌲💜

[@chrishawley5667]

I do not have a hole. That really speaks to me. That is one of the lies I've told myself, I have a hole that needs to be filled. I do not have a hole.

[@AquanautSt1]

I couldn't quite get the meat of this particular discussion , I really appreciate the podcast non the less . Blessings !

[@jasonvictor1798]

Guru Singh's outro at the end. Was amazing thank you 🙏

[@ivanak7149]

We love you Rich, don't listed to the haters. As Guru S says, the ones who come out of your podcasts/conetnt with a negative experience, that's not about you. I understand it must be hard to distance yourself for the negativity.. I don't use social media (never been a huge fan, then watched the social dilemma). I am only on KZbin so I'm able to acccess yours and a few others content. Keep doing what you're doing. Thank you ❤️

[@samreplete1842]

So beautiful. Social media is overrated and makes people think as if you don't use it than you are missing something.

[@veronikabest449]

First Time hearing. Very telling .Thank you.

[@DJSTOEK]

Thank you

[@sonalmalhotra07]

Nice video. Guru Singh speaks very well.

[@ReyRey.00]

Loved it. And the song at the end. Omg! Made me so calm.

[@marshallstork7200]

Great talk and song!

[@dipanshu.__]

Tnx for subtitles man !🖤

[@n.d8001]

I can t wait to see you getting 1M subscribers

[@z0uLess]

Would be fun to have a table with all these gurus together and have them disagree on things

[@n.d8001]

very useful.thank you

[@marcginthe5d]

Already feel this guy in 10 seconds wow

[@meganhopkins1497]

I love you two. 🖖☺️

[@happiness4beginners449]

Okay this one is excellent and is going to worth taking a second and third listen through to make sure I've absorbed it all

[@underfellgirlsans514]

It's di fun to "add"! Funny Rich! So true! But, like he said, it works against us.

[@whiskyo]

Well, now you need to interview some Godly Christians. (Although careful not to source false prophets or believers deceived by new age practices.) I renounced a lifetime of new age/occult and 28 years of yoga , and became a believer of Jesus and God. It was hands down the best and most important change of my life.

[@redonionsyummy]

This is the nuts and bolts for decision making and habits/habit change..a lot to chew on! This conversation is very 'meaty' ... and worth multiple listens ! As a vegan, maybe meaty isn't the right term though🤔

[@jimmyramos3364]

You're a oak. Keep moving forward. ✌❤

[@chenwang9276]

The song!!!

[@sebm.4099]

That just confirmed that I preffer guests from sport and science. I couldn't finish last three episodes. Sorry but it's mambo-jambo for me. Still liked the commercials. :)

Rich, Is there any way you can add subtitles in another languages? I'd love to share your work to my Spanish community. Thanks

[@Je.rone_]

I've heard it said intuition is built through training & learning

[@drewe9514]

A wealth of knowledge helps but sometimes it comes down to trusting in your intuition to help your sense for it grow even more for the next time.

[@mounthope2567]

I think I’m in love

[@mr.c2485]

There’s another “I” word…..imagination. IMO it’s the most powerful of the five. Does it not dictate how the others respond based on previously recorded information that may or may not be useful or functional? Imagination takes into account the “what if” factor. It’s the question mark of all thought and/or action. Imagination without discipline is particularly dangerous.

[@fabo2585]

Fantastic host what is his name?

[@jamesspooner6282]

Does anyone know the name of the song he sings?

[@henricarlson4250]

Guided by my intuition Used to force it now I only listen I’ve been busy breaking out of my mental prison And Now I see the light is infinite and I’m really living Couldn’t wait anymore no its been way too long Packin my luggage and any moment im gone I can’t have a boss only do what I want But the Anxiety bubbling try to remain calm But the anxiety bubbling try to remain calm Try to stay in my zone But man its hard sometimes Need to be reminded that the sun still shines And thats just somethin that I keep on forgettin But I don’t understand why All this darkness inside is no friend mine The only battle that im fighting is the one thats in my mind

[@mr.c2485]

Exactly what is it that makes one wise? It’s obviously not original thought. None of us has ever had an original thought. We simply offer the mind and body suggestions based on what information has been collected. Additionally, we don’t dictate how either operates as far as the demands that both require from the animal. I.e. neither mind nor body are to be trusted to offer anything that can be construed as profitable for the animal or for the herd. So…what has the power to effectively and profitably arbitrate between mind and body?

hi and hello love your podcast (for i need a friend,teacher a listerner to get me on my jorner . i again fine it so hard to ask.bless and thank you

[@plantaetivoli1178]

[@tonyd5111]

Guru Singh has similar facial features to Hugh Jackman. It's wolverine 😂

[@plantaetivoli1178]

I adore you both but the weighted blanket is the same principle of the slauthering house. sooothing hack before getting you killed and too many stress hormones getting into your flesh.I wish we were able to soothe ourselves by refleting on our discomfort and getting up and writing about it? Calling someone? I'm deep in a messed up situation and all these podcasts are so helpfull. The last three I've forward to so many people I care about. When you're are a control frick and, suddenly, lost of control through alcohol and delicious meals (all mostly whole food, all vegan) become a escape and not so condusive to sobreaty and spiritual growth???.... It's kind of twisted "cause I'm 57 and never drank before regulary. I'm in that crossed wires situation when I decided not eating made me survive but getting attention and not the other way around. so drinking and indulgind in more calories feels less destructive???? I know these commentes are not meant to be a therapy session. I have one this week and I'll reffer to this episode but.... The gray fog is all around us. I wish everything were black and white. Much Love and Peace from Upstate NY
