Have you been struggling to keep a consistent meditation practice? Switching around between different types, trying to find the right one for so long that you eventually forgot why you were even doing it in the first place? This is a common complaint many aspiring meditators face. Without a clear understanding of why we are doing what we are doing and a way to know that we are doing it right, we are destined to fall off track. In comes The Mind Illuminated by Culadasa (John Yates, PhD). The Mind Illuminated is the result of 50,000 hours of meditation and decades of neuroscience study. This book is arguably the clearest, most systematic, and well-researched meditation manual ever written. In this episode of the HighExistence podcast, Jon Brooks and Eric Brown discuss the 6 steps Culadasa recommends in the book to prepare the mind for practice. But these 6 steps, as you'll see, have far reaching applications beyond just meditation. “This stuff is not separate. The lessons you learn in mediation are lessons that apply to life. The stuff going on in your life will carry on into your mediation practice.” — Eric Brown, HEx Podcast #47 IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: Why you should meditate Culadasa’s 6 steps for preparation for meditation How TMI has impacted not only Eric’s meditation practice, but his life Is enlightenment actually possible? What does it take to get there? Meditation as a tool for tragedy How to find and renew the motivation to do anything The first 3 stages of the meditation journey Meditation as a microcosm for life The importance of posture How showing up is all you need to do The value of taking a moment to clarify intent before starting anything MUCH MORE… (Please remember to leave a review because it helps us improve the podcast!)

We’re going to ask him about his studies, his passions, and the causes he believes in.

Human evolution has been a reallllllly long grind for us to get to the point where we are actually facilitating our own extinction by living the life of luxury, free of the stresses of nature that turn genes on and off. We've become so smart that we can now eliminate these stresses, which sounds like it would make life better but science is showing us that without the struggle, our genes just don't do what they should... you have to provoke them through the struggle of life and without the natural challenge of nature... the struggle is thrust upon us in the form of chronic disease. Fortunately there are many ways to mimic living like a monkey again and they're easily implemented.In This Episode We Discuss:Why humans are D-EvolvingWhich diseases are a result of being devoid of natureHow fasting and being in ketosis is a genetic and evolutionary advantage... and a tonne of other cool stuff!--SOCIAL MEDIA--DR.

Today’s guest is Danny Harvey. Danny is the Director of Financial Planning & Finance Faculty at Prairie View A&M University. He is also a professional speaker and financial advisor. He came from humble beginnings where he didn’t go without, but he also didn’t realize how little they actually had. He was raised by a single-mother that taught him the principles of hard work and saving money. He became great at saving money even though he didn’t really know what he was saving it for. While going to college was something he wanted to do, it was also something he was told that he was going to do. Danny majored in economics at Texas A&M. His plan was to work for an investment firm, get rich, and then eventually become a professor and financial advisor when he was old and gray. But, life doesn’t always go as we plan. He transitioned to a position as a professor and advisor far sooner than he thought and he isn’t looking back. Today Danny will share with us more about the lessons he wished he would have listened to when he first heard them in college along with the lessons that he is working to teach high school and college students. In This Episode We Discuss: Why it’s better to be wise and learn from someone else’s mistake instead of always using life and personal experience to learn lessons the hard way. Why we need to start educating students about personal finances in high school instead of waiting until college courses. Danny talks about a program he started with this classes where the college students go into high school classrooms to educate the students. Understanding that money is a tool and you need to know how to put that tool to work for you and your future. And, the sooner you do it the better it is. The importance of having a fluid financial plan that is able to adapt as your life and goals change. Danny on Instagram: instagram.com/mrdannyharvey/ Danny on Twitter: twitter.com/mrdannyharvey Danny on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/danny-harvey-mba/ Word of the Day: Wisdom I liked the way Danny defined wisdom as learning from someone else’s mistakes. Why learn financial mistakes the hard way? It can take a long time to recover from handling your finances wrong. That’s one reason regular discussions about money is so important. The more you can learn from others the fewer hard lessons that are going to come your way. If you still feel stuck or have questions start asking everyone around you.

Merry X-(is for Xenomorph)-mas, everyone! This week – in a brazen display of anachronism – original Future Fossils cohost, electronic music producer, and sci fi aficionado Evan Snyder and I go deep on what we liked and disliked about Alien: Covenant, and speculate on how this film fits into the still-murky larger mythos of Ridley Scott’s expanded Alien universe. We get into atheist Scott’s weird fixation with the Bible; how the Alien films represent and handle philosophical questions about the relationship between humanity and technology; and why people from the science-fictional future ARE SO DAMN STUPID. Evan’s Music: http://skytree.bandcamp.com Related Reading: “Reading Necronomicon at the New York Comic Con” https://www.patreon.com/posts/poem-reading-at-10621994 In This Episode We Discuss: • Why are people are so damn stupid in the Alien movies – is it bad writing, or a realistic understanding of how dependent we will one day be on artificial cognitive augmentation? • Nicholas Carr’s book The Glass Cage: Automation and Us • Smartphone addiction & technology as prosthesis • Was the neutrino burst that hit the Covenant an accident, or planned/intended? • Is David actually rebelling, or still continuing to serve the Weyland-Yutani corporate program? • Easter Egg: How do the various LV planets of the Alien franchise line up with chapters of Leviticus? • Are the Engineers themselves bioengineered artificial organisms? • The xenomorph life cycle: Why do we even have an Alien Queen? Is “egg-morphing” canonical? • WTF was going on in that seemingly contrived last Daniels/Tennessee/Protomorph fight scene? • The motif of creativity and the inability to create in the Alien movies • NerdWriter’s great video on Logan and the extension of genres into self-aware post-genres * Hideo Kojima about the Alien franchise * How Blade Runner movies and Aliens films may be related • How this film addresses society’s concerns about artificial intelligence * Are the alien prequels actually about the production of the Alien franchise itself? * Wall-E, Idiocracy, Blade Runner, The Fifth Element * Christmas, Christ, and Antichrist in the Alien films * Is Ridley Scott trolling us all? * Bizarre (fan-shipped) possibility of a Star Trek/Alien crossover Subscribe to this show: iTunes (iOS) / Stitcher (Android) Join the Facebook Discussion GroupSupport this show and get cool stuff Like this podcast and want to show support?
