We really don't understand that in that simplicity lies a space in which one can plumb one's own depths of being and appreciate that who you are is an entity that has taken birth, that is passing through a series of experiences, all of which are useful in order to awaken to one's deeper self.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And so let’s say you make some New Year’s resolutions or you’re in the middle of a transition like retirement and you’re in the middle of that change and you think to yourself,  this shouldn’t be so hard and I should have figured this out by now. But what those thoughts do is they actually only tighten that knot. So if we’re looking at getting unstuck, you know, the way that I teach is we have to have this willingness to soften, to stop pushing, to actually sit with what’s here, even if it’s uncomfortable. And from what I’ve learned and what I’ve seen, this is really the ground of transformation. Because when we allow ourselves, Joe, just to be exactly where we are with all the uncertainty, with all the doubt, with all the longing, then we begin to loosen the grip on all the old habitual ways of being. And our heart opens. And in that openness, something new can emerge. So I invite you all to not push through, but just to rest in that middle place and let the aspiration be there, but also let the discomfort be there. And let yourself almost be held by this knowing that the moment that you’re in right now is actually part of the path.” On Mindfulness…for Type As “And this energy is very, very powerful, but it can also become a kind of armor and it can protect Type A people from seeing themselves, from vulnerability, from uncertainty. So, if I was talking to a Tai A personality who was a skeptic, I would first of all say it is mindfulness is amazing for Type A personalities. And what if you didn’t need to fix anything right now? What if there was nothing to improve, but just something to notice? Because at the heart of mindfulness, we’re not looking to change our nature or our personality. What we’re doing is we’re inviting you to become more intimate with yourself, to sit beside that aspect of yourself that strives and maybe ask, what am I afraid of and what am I avoiding? Because often as a Type A personality, what we’re avoiding is the discomfort of being with ourselves as we are. But if we can soften that resistance, even for a breath, even for 10 minutes a day, I tell you, something extraordinary happens. And we begin to feel so much more alive, more connected to ourselves. The endless, amazing results of meditation, our relationships change. We just deal with everything differently. We become more whole. So it’s really good for us to understand, which is why mindfulness is used in so many, you know, big companies around the world, is that mindfulness isn’t an enemy of ambition. It’s really a way to return to the ground beneath your striving, to be able to see that ground clearly, to feel deeply, to live more fully, which is why I totally believe it’s a superpower.” On Why Happiness is an Inside Job “The biggest misconception that I know is that people believe that happiness comes from outside of themselves. And that is such a mic drop moment to understand that happiness doesn’t. Happiness is an internal job. And the wonderful thing about that is it means that we’re in control of it. It means that if you want to be happier, you don’t have to be rich. You don’t have to be powerful. You don’t have to be the most beautiful person in the world. I remember some years ago going to Las Vegas to hear Lady Gaga sing. And she was doing these kind of acoustic jazz Tony Bennett style concerts. It were really incredible. She was getting paid a million dollars a gig, Joe, and it was extraordinary. Here she is. She’s super wealthy. She’s beautiful. She’s successful. She’s powerful. And it was shocking for her to talk about how incredibly unhappy she is. So I think that’s one of the biggest things we need to understand is that all the things that we’re sold to believe will make us happy actually don’t. Because if they did, we would be able to look around the world to so many of the people that have all of them. And we can wonder why they’re not happy. So when we begin to understand that happiness is an inside job, then we actually have the incredible power to take control of it. So I think that that is probably the biggest misconception, but also the most powerful thing about it. And so that means that we need to learn to work with the thing that drives our happiness and our suffering, which is our mind. And if we can learn to work with our mind, then we can change our whole experience of the world.”

When Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado gave her Nobel "Peace" Prize to warmonger Donald Trump to thank him for bombing her country, it showed how the prize is a tool of war that serves Western foreign policy interests.

Telepathy for non-speaking autistics. It sounds fascinating. It sounds like a miracle. But this is not exploring new science. This is exploring an Old Evil.So far, a child's dramatic death (in a bathtub) and eerie ghost-encounters doesn't seem to stop them. I hope my shocking podcast episode (active link - not button) with Marci and Seth Julin will help stop this trendbefore more lives are lost."THE TELEPATHY TAPES PODCAST" by Ky Dickens is the podcast and a "SUPERNATURAL SPELLING" method cherished by autism moms of non-speakers that just beat Joe Rogan as "most popular podcast". Telepathy tapes are also the most dangerous and destructive trend in the autism community right now. Why should you listen:

This episode dismantles the myth of “one-size-fits-all retirement,” arguing that retirement isn't a date, an age, or a lifestyle—it's a personal transition that demands both an income plan and a purpose plan. Don and Tom explore the growing trend of “un-retiring,” why fear and economic anxiety are lousy motivators for going back to work, and how a lack of planning fuels unnecessary worry later in life. Listener questions cover smart uses of 529-to-Roth conversions, parking large sums of cash, Roth strategies for young investors, rebuilding emergency funds without sabotaging retirement, and why converting Vanguard mutual funds to ETFs in taxable accounts is often a no-brainer. The through-line is clear: stop predicting the future, stop reacting emotionally, and build flexible plans that let your money support the life you actually want. 0:04 Retirement isn't a script, a date, or a finish line 0:56 The myth of “retire at 65 and stop living” 1:20 The rise of “un-retiring” and why Disney hires retirees 3:22 Fear-based reasons people go back to work 4:28 Why retirees often worry more, not less 5:10 Studies showing how many retirees expect to work again 6:38 Income plans vs. purpose plans in retirement 7:16 The Dalai Lama, retirement, and dark humor 8:16 Using leftover 529 money for a future Roth IRA 10:31 Anton Chekhov's The Bet and money as a moral test 12:08 Parking $3.5M: T-bills vs. high-yield savings 14:30 Why holding massive cash piles is usually a mistake 16:21 Interest-rate predictions and the illusion of certainty 19:17 How (and where) people actually listen to podcasts 21:02 Mortgage rates under 6% and why context matters 23:15 Roth IRAs for young investors and compounding reality 25:12 VT vs. AVGE vs. AVGV for long-term simplicity 27:51 Disney's $60B expansion and what it says about costs 31:07 Rebuilding emergency funds without derailing retirement 33:32 Converting Vanguard mutual funds to ETFs in taxable accounts 35:20 Why small tax efficiencies matter over decades Learn more about your ad choices.

AI is quickly becoming part of health care. Patients are using ChatGPT and other AI tools to interpret symptoms, labs, genetics, and decide what to do next—often before they ever talk to a clinician. But here's the real question: Does AI actually understand the human body—or is it just organizing data without context? In this episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage is joined by Dr. Cam McDonald, a global leader in precision health and AI, and Susan Robbins, an epigenetic human performance coach, to explore the promises, limitations, and hidden assumptions behind AI-driven health advice. Together, they unpack: What AI does well in health care—and where it can go wrong Why more data doesn't always lead to better health decisions How genetics, epigenetics, and body measurements can inform care—but don't tell the whole story The difference between managing numbers and supporting recovery Why optimization isn't always healing When doing less may actually be the most precise approach This conversation is especially important for anyone dealing with chronic symptoms, thyroid issues, anxiety, fatigue, or feeling overwhelmed by conflicting health advice. AI isn't the enemy—but what it assumes about health matters more than most people realize.

In this inspiring episode, psychic medium Laura Lee connects with Renata from Hawaii to deliver powerful spirit guidance around fear, intuition, travel, and divine timing. Spirit steps forward with wisdom from her maternal lineage, including a military-connected ancestor who brings insight about courage, overseas travel, and managing anxiety about the unknown. As Renata prepares for international journeys — including a once-in-a-lifetime invitation to visit the Dalai Lama in India — Spirit encourages her to release future-based fear and return to presence, balance, and trust.

Dr. John Powers is back for another chat on the show—largely about Tibetan Buddhism, meditation practices, and the nature of self and consciousness. John shared his personal journey into Buddhism, including a transformative experience with the Dalai Lama that led him to explore meditation further—I absolutely loved this part! We also discussed the concept of emptiness in Buddhism, the idea of rebirth and karma, and the challenges of maintaining a sense of self in a constantly changing world (let alone whether or not the ‘self' even exists!). John also explained his atheistic views on God and the importance of empirical evidence in understanding religious concepts. Finally, John and I touched on the similarities between meditation-induced states and those experienced under the influence of psychedelics. It was also really wonderful to hear how John has navigated his transition into (semi) retirement. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time once again with John and look forward to having him back on the show.John Powers currently holds a joint position at the University of Melbourne in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies and the Contemplative Studies Centre. He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities and author of 20 books and more than 100 articles, mainly on Buddhism and Tibetan history.***The Mind Mate Podcast explores the human condition at the intersection of philosophy and psychotherapy. Hosted by counsellor and psychotherapist Tom Ahern, the podcast engages deeply with questions of meaning, anxiety, freedom, identity, death, love, and what it means to live authentically in the modern world.Find out more here: https://ahern.blog/

In this episode of The xMonks Drive, Gurudev Sri Anish shares a rare, deeply reflective story about meeting the Dalai Lama, and what silence, presence, and inner stillness revealed in that moment.A former CEO who walked away from the corporate world to spend a decade in deep spiritual practice in the Himalayas, Gurudev Sri Anish speaks candidly about leadership, fulfilment, and why even the most successful people often feel empty inside. Drawing from his personal journey and spiritual insights, he explores how modern ideas of success, ambition, and competition have shaped a generation and what's missing beneath it all.This conversation goes beyond motivation and self-help. It touches on:- What silence teaches that words cannot- Why achievement without inner stillness leads to burnout- How the Dalai Lama embodies presence and awareness- The difference between action and aggression in leadership- Why fulfilment cannot be outsourced to success, money, or titlesTimestamps00:00 Meeting the Dalai Lama: A Profound Connection02:21 Acknowledging Presence: A Deeper Understanding13:52 The Essence of Consciousness and Spirituality23:56 The Faulty Template of Modern Life51:20 The Power of Non-Doing and Inner Stillness59:05 India's Role and Global Collaboration01:04:51 Message to the Youth: Building a Better WorldHosted by Gaurav Arora, founder of xMonks, this episode is a slow, thoughtful exploration of consciousness, leadership, and the inner life — especially relevant for founders, leaders, and seekers navigating pressure, purpose, and meaning in today's world.

It's a commonly held misconception that Buddhism and activism conflict. In fact, the logical consequence of spiritual practice is action for the sake of others; it just naturally follows.  But our actions – helping our next-door neighbour or helping stop the destruction of the planet – need to be grounded in wisdom. As the Dalai Lama says, "Compassion is not enough; we need wisdom."  In other words, we need to work on our own minds first. We need to recognize our own suffering and how it's caused by our own attachment and anger the other unhappy emotions. Taking responsibility for these and wanting to change, based upon having compassion for ourselves, is what causes us to go beyond the narrow sense of self and realize we're all in the same boat.  This brings optimism and confidence that every small action counts and we develop the courage to never give up. The great bodhisattvas are fierce in their determination to never give up on sentient beings: they "think in terms of eons," as His Holiness the Dalai Lama says. Tibet House, Sep 3, 2025.

Hopefully there will be small moments of peace as we enter the winter solstice in the global north, at the end of a challenging year. It will be dark…but there's darkness everywhere. And there's also light.Which is the invitation of mindfulness: to be that light. The question is, how? How to be the light, for others and for ourselves? In the stillness of the solstice - in the silence of the heart - we have the answer. Trust yours. Take things gently as the skies darken, or lighten. Be kind, including (especially) to yourself, whenever possible. Remember, the Dalai Lama says that's always possible. I wish you ease and wellbeing as we close 2025 and step into 2026. I'll be off until January 8th, so see you then. Stay safe out there. Love you all.

According to Chinese Communist official Xi Zhongxun, his first revolutionary act was an attempt to poison one of his school's administrators when he was 14. He was faithful to the revolution, and the Chinese Communist Party, until his death at age 88 in 2002. In between those ages was a remarkable life. He fought Nationalists and Japanese. He was a right-hand man to both Zhou Enlai in the 1950s, and Hu Yaobang in the 1980s. As the Party administrator responsible for dealing with religious groups, he negotiated with the Dalai Lama–and would show off the wristwatch that the Dalai Lama gave him. But Xi also spent sixteen years in house arrest, internal exile, under suspicion, or at least out of power, from 1962 to 1978. “In the early 1990s, Xi even boasted to a Western historian that although Deng Xiaoping had suffered at the hands of the party on three occasions, he had been persecuted five times.” All this would make Xi Zhongxun fascinating simply as a psychological study of a Communist functionary who, despite everything, remained devoted to the system that oppressed him. But Xi Zhongxun was also the father of Xi Jinping, now effectively the dictator of China. If we are to understand the younger Xi, argues my guest Joseph Torigian, then we must understand his father.Joseph Torigian is an associate professor in the School of International Service at American University in Washington, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, and a center associate of the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. He was previously on the podcast to discuss his book Prestige, Manipulation, and Coercion: Elite Power Struggles in the Soviet Union and China after Stalin and Mao, a conversation that was published on May 23, 2022. His latest book is The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping was released with Stanford University Press in June 2025.

Did you know you are missing 47% of your life? Research shows that nearly half our waking hours are spent "mind-wandering"—a state directly linked to unhappiness. In this episode, we dive into the "Second Face of Mara" to understand the difference between creative daydreaming and toxic rumination. We explore the neuroscience of the Default Mode Network, the power of the Pennebaker writing protocol, and insights from Erick Godsey's Make Your Myth course. Plus, a revealing story about the Dalai Lama that proves negative self-talk isn't biological—it's a bad habit we can break.

If you've ever felt like your inner life is a clenched fist — tight belly, buzzing chest, racing mind — this conversation is for you. In this live session from our DanHarris.com sangha, the great Vinny Ferraro takes us on a kind of "return to the body" safari: soft-belly practice, heart-work, nervous system regulation, forgiving the seemingly unforgivable, and what it actually means to stop becoming and just be here. We also get into the weirdness and power of meditating together online, the comparing mind (yes, the Dalai Lama has one too), why walking meditation is a secret weapon for restless brains, and how both Dan and Vinny were dragged, kicking and screaming, into practices they once thought were total BS. Vinny brings his trademark mix of streetwise honesty, humor, and deep tenderness. This one is about learning to meet yourself — and the world — with a little less armor and a lot more care. Join Dan live every Tuesday at 4pm ET for these weekly meditations and Q&As — plus access to all our guided meditations — by signing up at DanHarris.com.   Related Episodes: You Can't Hate Yourself Into Becoming a Better Person | Vinny Ferraro How to Make Time for the Things You Actually Care About | Vinny Ferraro Join Dan's online community here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Thanks to our sponsors:  Airbnb: Your home might be worth more than you think.
