How can we find meaning when life seems devoid of purpose? Jamie Wheal, a renowned author, speaker, and expert on the subject of peak performance and flow states, explores the pressing question of how we can regain a sense of awe, wonder, and meaning in our lives and society in his new book Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind. Drawing from his extensive research in fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and anthropology, Jamie examines the impact of societal and cultural factors on overall well-being and sense of meaning.

Dr. John Vervaeke and Greg Thomas engage in a nuanced conversation that spans the realms of philosophy, music, and culture. With an emphasis on the blues, jazz, and democracy, they examine how to be a "radical moderate" in today's polarized society. They explore the rich interplay between music and philosophy, delving into topics such as the sacredness of music, the musicality of being, and the role of music in democracy. Their collaborative spirit is a testament to the transformative power of cross-disciplinary dialogue. As they tackle topics like race, culture, and cosmic responsibility, they bring fresh insights into how we can harmonize disparate elements of human experience.   Resources   Greg Thomas: Website | X | YouTube John Vervaeke: Website | Patreon | Facebook | X | YouTube   The Vervaeke Foundation Jazz Leadership Project Jazz Leadership Project Blog Hemingway, Politics, and Wisdom Charlie Parker's Higher Octave Can Civic Jazz Resolve Our American Dilemma?   Greg Thomas — YouTube Greg Thomas: “The Ralph Ellison-Albert Murray Continuum”   Voices with Vervaeke — YouTube Aletheia Coaching - profound self-unfoldment rather than self-improvement w/ Steve March John Vervaeke & Greg Thomas Series: Jazz as Embodied Art and an Ecology of Practice | Deep Dive: Race, Culture, Jazz, and Democracy #1 Democracy as Antagonistic Cooperation for E Pluribus Unum Race Versus Cultural Intelligence: The Agent Arena Relationship Transcendent Naturalism Series: The Cognitive Science Show  Towards a Metapsychology that is true to Transformation w/ Gregg Henriques and Zachary Stein   Podcasts The Integral Stage - Bruce Alderman / Layman Pascal Straight Ahead - The Omni-American Podcast  Deep Transformation Podcast   Books A Spirit of Trust: A Reading of Hegel's Phenomenology - Robert B.

In this episode, Kyle interviews author of Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death In a World That's Lost Its Mind; speaker; and Founder of the Flow Genome Project, which researches and trains on improved human performance. This episode – the last of the many recorded at Psychedelic Science 2023 – may ruffle some feathers, as Wheal is very outspoken and opinionated, focusing on what he spoke about at the conference: the pitfalls of the psychedelic movement. While his outlook is negative, he speaks with humor, and these shadow aspects are issues we need to be talking about: how the nature of capitalism and returning profits to shareholders affects the concept of set and setting; how easy it is to prescribe ketamine and the puppy mill clinics popping up everywhere; how innovators are racing to the bottom to get ahead; the designer drug epidemic likely leading us to a Prozac Nation 2.0; digital narcissism, Instagram “Shamans,” and the dangers of cults; chemists trying to take the experience out of the drug; the overuse of psychedelics creating super egos; and much more. While he believes the hype and excitement of the psychedelic renaissance is leading us towards a trough of dissolution and that people aren't turning their amazing experiences into net positives anywhere near enough, he believes that fewer people using psychedelics less often and more intensely – with initiatory practices, intentions, integration, and honest self-reflection – will help us all climb out of our egos and move towards a healthier society. There is hope, but we need to honestly look at all the shadow aspects in order to move towards it. Click here to head to the show notes page.

How can we find meaning when life seems devoid of purpose? Jamie Wheal, a renowned author, speaker, and expert on the subject of peak performance and flow states, explores the pressing question of how we can regain a sense of awe, wonder, and meaning in our lives and society in his new book Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind. Drawing from his extensive research in fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and anthropology, Jamie examines the impact of societal and cultural factors on overall well-being and sense of meaning. He explores the human longing for transcendence and proposes a roadmap for individuals to reclaim a more vibrant, purpose-driven existence. Jamie also suggests that reclaiming a sense of rapture–a deep, transformative experience of wonder and connection–is crucial for our personal growth and the overall health of our society.

Thoughts on Breathing My only thought is, I don't think we get taught enough about how important it is. And that's why we're here. But we forgot. We get distracted, and we take it for granted that we can always have it. I had an anaphylactic shock once, and luckily it was in a medical situation. But when she said you are not breathing, it's incredibly tough. And you recognize at that moment that, oh, look at what I'm taking advantage of or taking for granted.

It was interesting because the first one lasted about three years of awful treatment and accepting it. And I don't know why I accepted it. But I was in this situation for three years, with management that was really awful by any standard. I left that, and I went to do something else. Another project. And I immediately recognized that this was a similar situation. And, because I had started to be more mindful and more aware and listening to myself and just more attentive because of the previous experience. The second experience where bullying and absolute toxicity were present, I retracted and pulled myself out of that situation as fast as I could. But bullying is such an awful thing today. and Related Episodes Your Life IS Meditation; Mark Van Buren Myung Sung: The Korean Art of Living Meditation with Dr. Jenelle Kim Use Meditation to Master Yourself; Ashley Williams Special Offer Are you experiencing anxiety & stress?

In this episode, Kimberly and Jamie discuss his book “Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death In a World That's Lost Its Mind.” Jamie gives an anthropological perspective of human history across millennia to trace how we ended up today with economic, climate, technological, mental health, and other crises. He discusses how all of our social media and culture wars are missing the mark on the actual crises to our planet, and if we don't address it, it will destroy us all. His solution for processing this grief is by making intentional choices toward hope, and moving from hyper-individualism of our times to supportive, intergenerational communities.    Bio Jamie Wheal is the author of “Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death In a World That's Lost Its Mind” and the global bestseller “Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work” and the founder of the Flow Genome Project, an international organization dedicated to the research and training of human performance.

Today we are joined by Jamie Wheal, who comprised a full one-third of the subjects covered on our prior "Sensemaking Cubed" episode also featuring Daniel Schmachtenberger and Jordan Hall. Jamie has kindly taken advantage of our standing offer of a right to reply to all podcast subjects and here is our conversation in its entirety. As well as being a sometime interlocutor with Daniel and Jordan, Jamie is an author of books such as Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, Navy SEALs and Maverick Scientists are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work and Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death In a World That's Lost Its Mind. He's the founder of the Flow Genome Project, an organisation that aspires to train ultimate human performance, and does leadership seminars and wilderness excursions with many famous organisations such as Deloitte, Red Bull, Google, Lululemon, Facebook, TD Ameritrade, Nike, and Goldman Sachs.So, the three of us get into it a bit about that sensemaking about sensemaking video, but pretty quickly move into the issue of making sense of things more broadly, as it's transpired with fraught issues such as COVID; both in the popular social media space, and within the 'blue church' of academia.From what we knew of Jamie, we expected to have a pleasant chat with him, and as you'll hear: it was a pleasant chat! Even if our worldview and understanding of things diverged a fair bit, there were a number of things we could agree on as well. A big thumbs-up to Jamie for taking our (relatively scathing) coverage of the infamous video with the best of grace and, in the best tradition of what the IDW purports to do, be willing to have a frank public chat with a couple of blokes who have been highly critical of some of the people and ideas he's (somewhat) aligned with.Our intros and outros are - as usual - quite indulgent, so be sure to take advantage of those bookmarks if you want to skip straight to the interview proper.Enjoy!LinksMike Duncan's Revolutions PodcastBeyond Synth Podcast (Chris is a guest on ep 342)Gizmodo fact-check on Elon's claims about AppleJamie Wheal @ Linkedin Feature on Jamie Wheal in the Texas Monthly

Jamie Wheal is the founder of the Flow Genome Project and an expert in the neurophysiology of human performance. His latest book is "Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death In a World That's Lost Its Mind." In this conversation with Berry, he posits solutions for the crisis of meaning many of us face today, and guides us towards a new (old) frontier that he calls "Meaning 3.0".

"What does it means to be human on this earth? What does it mean to wake to the depth of this answer at a time of massive accelerating consequences?" - Jamie Wheal. Isra Garcia interviews Neuroanthropologist and world expert on Peak Performance Jamie Wheal in his last book, Recapture the Rapture. It's a conversation that combines neuroanthropology, culture architecture, peak experiences and human potential to help us create a better future.

Slowly over the past few decades, and now suddenly, all at once, we've suffered a collapse in meaning. Fundamentalism and nihilism readily stepped up to fill that vacuum, with consequences that affect us all. In a world that needs us at our best, diseases of despair, tribalism, and disaster fatigue are leaving us at our worst. In this episode, Vishen and Jamie chat about God, Sex, Death, and Time Travel.      Jamie Wheal is the author of Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death In a World That's Lost Its Mind and the global bestseller Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work. He's also the founder of the Flow Genome Project, an international organization dedicated to the research and training of human performance. His ideas have been covered in The New York Times, Financial Times, Wired, Entrepreneur, Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Inc., and TED. He has spoken at Stanford University, MIT, the Harvard Club, Imperial College, Singularity University, the U.S. Naval War College and Special Operations Command, Sandhurst Royal Military Academy, the Bohemian Club, and the United Nations. In short, he's worth listening to.   Listen out for: -  The actual cause of all infidelities and heartbreaks.  -  Why there's so much guilt and stigma around sex and masturbation.  -  Jamie's recommendation for a mind-blowing solo and couple sexual experience.  -  The meaning of sexual yoga and how it can help you and your partner. -  The best substances for better sex life. -  How to set up your bedroom to help your sex life.  -  Psychedelic sexual experiences.   Bonus:                                                                          - Get your own copy of Jamie's book here

Jamie and I talk about the collapse of meaning in the the last decades and how meaning 3.0 could actually look like. What a modern “Alchemist Cookbook” is and why ethical cult building could be interesting. Plus: Jamie explains how flow looks like and what is has to do with the six neurotransmitters. And of course we talk about the current state of psychedelics and how to avoid “bliss junkies and epiphany whores,” as he says. But still, will the future be your and my brain on psychedelics? https://www.flowgenomeproject.com/ https://www.stevenkotler.com/book-pages/stealing-fire Please note also: The New Health Club is now a proud supporter of International Therapeutic Psilocybin Rescheduling Initiative, a global coalition working to reschedule psilocybin under the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

Ep. 4 (Part 2 of 2) | In this riveting, mind opening (and bending) conversation, philosopher and peak performance expert Jamie Wheal takes our existential metacrisis head on, asking and often answering the biggest questions we, the human race, face today. “How do we do this human thing with our heads up and our hearts open and not get crushed by the tragedies and absurdities of it all?” “How can we tune into the wisdom, the transpersonal heights?” More than inspirational, this conversation is like an infusion of the energetic, coherent, transpersonal potential of human beings. Guaranteed, you won't see things the same way after listening. Recorded on September 15, 2021.

Jamie Wheal is the founder of the Flow Genome Project, a organization dedicated to the research and training of human performance, and most notably, he's the author of Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death in a World That's Lost its Mind. In his fascinating book, Wheal explores the perplexing intersection at which we find ourselves, each of us torn between the desire to save the world or to savor the world. “We as a generational cohort are coming of age where we simultaneously have more awareness of life...and at the same time understand our existential precariousness,” he says, “How on earth do we hold all this at the same time?” Our wide ranging discussion takes on the heady topics of healing, believing, and belonging  and ends with Wheal sharing with us his ‘ten suggestions', a list of countermeasures to the fundamentalism, nihilism, and despair that threaten to swallow us whole.  Episode Highlights To save the world or to savor the world…3:09 Nihilism, suspicion and our meaning crisis…6:48 Reclaiming our authority, healthy tribalism, and the ten suggestions…30:40 More from Jamie Wheal Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work Jamie's Flow Genome Project - The Official Source for Peak Performance and Culture Follow Jamie on Instagram Dig Deeper The Dark Triad traits predict authoritarian political correctness and alt-right attitudes - Moss, O'Connor - Queensland University of Technology Learn more about your ad choices.

What helps you make meaning in challenging times? As you confront COVID, the climate crisis, and all of the challenges we discuss on this show, what helps you avoid nihilism or fundamentalism, and instead access healing, inspiration, and connection? Today on Your Undivided Attention, we're joined by anthropologist and writer Jamie Wheal. Wheal is the author of Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death In a World That's Lost Its Mind. In the book, he makes the case that in order to address the meta-crisis — the interconnected challenges we face, which we talked about in Episode 36 with Daniel Schmachtenberger, we must address the meaning crisis — the need to stay inspired, mended, and bonded in challenging times. Jamie argues that it doesn't matter whether we're staying inspired, mended, and bonded through institutionalized religion or other means as long as meaning-making is inclusively available to everyone.What we hope you'll walk away with is a humane way to think about how to address the challenges we face, from COVID to climate — by enabling us to make meaning in challenging times.

In this episode, I speak with Ali Katz, Family Law Attorney and Founder and CEO of New Law Business Model. What Ali Katz kept discovering was that the traditional law practice model we've been taught -- based on forms and documents, billable hours, and one-off transactions -- is broken, both for lawyers and their clients.  So, she invented a new law business model in her own practice back in 2003, and within three years had built a 7-figure law practice on this new model, as a single mom, working just 3 days a week in her office. From there, she founded New Law Business Model to teach her revolutionary model to other lawyers who want to serve families and business owners as a trusted advisor, while loving their lives and law practices.  Today, Ali is the CEO/founder of New Law Business Model, as well as the lead Personal Family Lawyer, serving as senior partner and law business mentor to more than 300 Personal Family Lawyer law firms across the US. We talk about: How the law industry is broken Why the scarcity mentality doesn't work What meaningful service means to Ali Tips to make your law practice saleable How to niche down and why you want to  Resources mentioned in this episode: The New Law Business Model: Build a Lucrative Law Practice That You (and Your Clients) Love New Law Business Model Resources Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind  Connect with Ali here: Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Facebook Connect with New Law Business Model here: Instagram Twitter LinkedIn Facebook https://newlawbusinessmodel.com  Connect with me Instagram Pinterest Facebook Twitter Karin on Twitter Karin on LinkedIn Conroy Creative Counsel on Facebook https://conroycreativecounsel.com

“Life is tragic, and occasionally it's magic.” In this episode of the Mindspace podcast, Dr. Joe speaks with Jamie Wheal, author of Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death In a World That's Lost Its Mind and the Pulitzer-nominated bestseller Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work. He is also the founder and executive director of the Flow Genome Project whose purpose is to build “world-class training programs on peak performance, optimal psychology and leadership.” His work has been covered in the New York Times, Financial Times, Wired, Entrepreneur, Forbes, and many other publications. Jamie synthesizes history, psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology in order to create techniques and cultural practices centred around transforming human beings through non-ordinary states. Those practices include breathing techniques and psychedelics. Jamie and Dr. Joe spoke about: - The breakdown of the traditional ways of making meaning - The social, political, psychological, and environmental consequences of this breakdown - Jamie's design principles for a new meaning-making operating system - The most reliable and accessible sources of healing, inspiration, and connection - How we can implement this approach to building sustainable communities

He is founder of the Flow Genome Project, an international organization dedicated to the research and training of ultimate human performance. Now he's just published his latest book, "Recapture the Rapture, Rethinking God, Sex and Death in a World That's Lost its Mind." In this conversation, we dive into Jamie's journey, the value of sports, his Flow Genome Project and what took him to write these last two powerhouse books. We specifically look at some of his core concepts including around Ecstasy, Catharsis and Communitas, society's apprehension of death and psychedelics and much more.  If you've got comments or questions you'd like to see answered, send your email or audio file to nminterdial@gmail.com; or you can find the show notes and comment on minterdial.com.

When Jamie Wheal comes on Bulletproof Radio we always dig into mind-bending topics. This time, our conversation spans a special four-part mini-series to discuss his new book: “Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death in a World That's Lost its Mind.” In the Part 3 episode we talk about the five things that can transform cultural consciousness, and in this last installment of the series, Part 4, we're talking about the more specific ways those five pathways can transform your body. Music, breathwork, sex and more all have the power to do things like reset your brainstem, stimulate your nervous system, and unclog your fascia.“​​You're loading that system,” Jamie says. “You're creating a peak experience that you send through your body and brain, and it lights up your body and brain. And there is a narrative. There's impressions. There's stories. There's characters. There's insights There's whatever else would be the interior content that is often profoundly valuable and meaningful and very different than our monophasic waking state, tired, wired and stressed stuck-in-my-ego stories.”Thai massage, music with certain beats, aligning your spine, soft tissue body work—all of these things can help transform your consciousness. They serve as a pathway to the death-rebirth rituals Jamie studied, the ones that send a peak of energy through your nervous system and reboot your whole system. “I think a critical piece of our global collective challenge and crisis is, hey, we all need to heal ourselves and each other. And here is the most simple, most accessible, most powerful method that humans have ever developed. And here's the cheat codes to everybody and let's get on this.”Be sure to stay tuned until the end when Jamie asks me some questions about delta wave frequencies.Jamie studies neuroanthropology, which brings together culture, biology, and psychology. He's the founder of the international Flow Genome Project, an organization that helps people reach their peak human performance. He's currently focusing on Hedonic Engineering, a combination of neuroscience and optimal psychology. His book looks at the world's collapse of meaning, the embracing of nihilism, and how you can shift your stories to tackle the world by connecting to others and revitalizing yourself. Don't miss Part 1, The Neuroscience of Sex – Jamie Wheal, Part 1 with Dave Asprey – #845, where you learn about Jamie's research on sex and the power sex has to improve your life.Then there's Part 2, Taking the Kink Out of Kinky – Jamie Wheal, Part 2 with Dave Asprey – #846, where Jamie suggest ways you can engage with your partner and reclaim the full spectrum of human physiology and psychology.In Part 3, 5 Ways to Find Meaning and Trust in a Skeptical World – Jamie Wheal, Part 3 with Dave Asprey – #847, our conversation focuses on ways to find belonging and how you can be in tune with the part of yourself that wants to flee in times of stress.

This time, our conversation spans a special four-part mini-series to discuss his new book: “Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death in a World That's Lost its Mind.” In this Part 3 episode, we talk about the “meaning crisis” and the role of biohacking in human consciousness.Jamie makes the case that more than ever people generally distrust and scrutinize larger governing institutions. When people don't trust the things they used to trust, they're led to greater stress, less connection and are more likely to reach for extremism and nihilism. “​​Any belief system where people are doubling and tripling down in the face of contravening evidence, that's happening, and so is nihilism, where people are just giving up knowing anything at all or the fact that anything is actually ever truly knowable,” Jami says. “We see the rise in diseases and despair and all the accompanying rudderlessness. We're in a tight spot, and it's not happening in a vacuum, right?”Our conversation focuses on ways to find belonging and how you can be in tune with the part of yourself that wants to flee in times of stress. You can get out of a hive-mind centered world, which keeps your body in hyper-stress mode, and instead get into prioritizing range and resiliency in your body, mind and heart. In order to transform cultural consciousness, Jamie's research found five techniques that most commonly help you do that: respiration, embodiment, sexuality, substances and music. You'll learn how to do each of these activities intentionally and get the best results for you.“We need to reclaim the story of what's happening and where do we all go now together,” Jamie says.Jamie studies neuroanthropology, which brings together culture, biology, and psychology. He's the founder of the international Flow Genome Project, an organization that helps people reach their peak human performance. He's currently focusing on Hedonic Engineering, a combination of neuroscience and optimal psychology. His book looks at the world's collapse of meaning, the embracing of nihilism, and how you can shift your stories to tackle the world by connecting to others and revitalizing yourself.

This time, our conversation spans a special four-part mini-series to discuss his new book: “Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death in a World That's Lost its Mind.” In this Part 2 episode, we talk about how you can biohack sex and the impacts of a post-orgasmic state.Jamie studies neuroanthropology, which brings together culture, biology, and psychology. He's the founder of the international Flow Genome Project, an organization that helps people reach their peak human performance. He's currently focusing on Hedonic Engineering, a combination of neuroscience and optimal psychology. His book looks at the world's collapse of meaning, the embracing of nihilism, and how you can shift your stories to tackle the world by connecting to others and revitalizing yourself. In Part 1, The Neuroscience of Sex – Jamie Wheal, Part 1 with Dave Asprey – #845, you learn about Jamie's research on sex and the power sex has to improve our lives. Now, we get into “taking the kink out of kinky,” and suggest ways you can engage with your partner (or partners) that maximize pleasure. Things like timed breathwork, music with a strong beat, and other techniques load up your nervous system and create a balance in your body, leading to great sex. “We're reclaiming the full spectrum of human physiology and psychology,” he says, “because no man is an island. No woman is either. Our sociology is about us doing all these things together.”Our conversation includes the powerful states women can access during sex. Specifically, an incredible post-orgasmic state that can offer major healing.“Once again, really much more accessible, cheap, free, like this is everybody, all you got to do is just shut your front door and schedule a playdate with a friend with benefits,” Jamie says. “And you can have access to the things that are getting touted in the new cycles, kind of incessantly over the last three years as these miracle cures and breakthroughs of psychedelic therapies.”He says that PornHub as a baseline for sexuality and inspiration isn't a great idea, yet Americans struggle to rethink approaches to sex in broader terms and prioritize sexual well-being and connection. “We've got such deep conflicted, puritanical coding overlaid with hypersexuality and commodification that it can be really difficult,” Jamie says. Touching on a range of topics, we'll also talk about the power of the feminine, the Council of Grandmothers, cults (and how to spot them) and authoritarianism. Be sure to follow the conversation in Part 3 when Jamie and I talk more about death and God. And, of course, a lot more. Enjoy!

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/recapturerapture My guest on today's podcast, Jamie Wheal, first joined me on the podcast episode: "Recapture the Rapture: Biohacking Sex, Tantric Breathwork, Plant Medicines For Orgasmic Enhancement & Much More!", for which the title is pretty self-explanatory regarding the wildly stimulating topics we covered on that show.  Today Jamie, a so-called "neuroanthropologist" is back, describing exciting elements from his new book Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind - a book in which he maps out a revolutionary new practice—Hedonic Engineering—that combines neuroscience and optimal psychology. It's an intensive program of breathing, movement, and sexuality that mends trauma, heightens inspiration and tightens connections—helping us wake up, grow up, and show up for a world that needs us all. This is a book about a big idea. And the idea is this: Slowly over the past few decades, and now suddenly, all at once, we're suffering from a collapse in Meaning. Fundamentalism and nihilism are filling that vacuum, with consequences that affect us all. In a world that needs us at our best, diseases of despair, tribalism, and disaster fatigue are leaving us at our worst. It's vital that we regain control of the stories we're telling because they are shaping the future we're creating. To do that, we have to remember our deepest inspiration, heal our pain and apathy, and connect to each other like never before. If we can do that, we've got a shot at solving the big problems we face. And if we can't?  Well, the dustbin of history has swallowed civilizations older and fancier than ours. This book is divided into three parts. The first, Choose Your Own Apocalypse, takes a look at our current Meaning Crisis--where we are today, why it's so hard to make sense of the world, what might be coming next, and what to do about it. It also makes a case that many of our efforts to cope, whether anxiety and denial, or tribalism and identity politics, are likely making things worse. The middle section, The Alchemist Cookbook,  applies the creative firm IDEO's design thinking to the Meaning Crisis. This is where the book gets hands on--taking a look at the strongest evolutionary drivers that can bring about inspiration, healing, and connection. From breathing, to movement, sexuality, music, and substances--these are the everyday tools to help us wake up, grow up, and show up. AKA--how to blow yourself sky high with household materials. The final third of the book, Ethical Cult Building, focuses on the tricky nature of putting these kinds of experiences into gear and into culture—because, anytime in the past when we've figured out combinations of peak states and deep healing, we've almost always ended up with problematic culty communities. Playing with fire has left a lot of people burned. This section lays out a roadmap for sparking a thousand fires around the world--each one unique and tailored to the needs and values of its participants. Think of it as an open-source toolkit for building ethical culture. In Recapture the Rapture, Jamie takes radical research out of the extremes and applying it to the mainstream to the broader social problem of healing, believing, and belonging. It's providing answers to the questions we face: how to replace blind faith with direct experience, how to move from broken to whole, and how to cure isolation with connection. Said even more plainly, it shows us how to revitalize our bodies, boost our creativity, rekindle our relationships, and answer once and for all the questions of why we are here and what do we do now? Jamie is also the author of Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work and the founder of the Flow Genome Project, an international organization dedicated to the research and training of human performance. His work and ideas have been covered in The New York Times, Financial Times, Wired, Entrepreneur, Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Inc., and TED. He has spoken at Stanford University, MIT, the Harvard Club, Imperial College, Singularity University, the U.S. Naval War College and Special Operations Command, Sandhurst Royal Military Academy, the Bohemian Club, and the United Nations. He lives high in the Rocky Mountains in an off-grid cabin with his partner, Julie; two children, Lucas and Emma; and their golden retrievers, Aslan and Calliope. When not writing, he can be found mountain biking, kitesurfing, and backcountry skiing.

Luke Burgis is an entrepreneur and author, who has co-created and led four companies in wellness, consumer products, and technology. He is Managing Partner of Fourth Wall Ventures, an incubator that he founded to build, train, and invest in people and companies that contribute to a healthy human ecology. He is also a recognized expert in French thinker René Girard's mimetic theory. On this podcast, Luke discusses mimetic desire - how people unconsciously want what others want, and therefore value jobs, spouses, brands, moral viewpoints, and even themselves according to the desires of others. He describes this phenomenon, which has been exploited by internet trolls, politicians, and ad agencies, in his new book Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life. Luke also talks about how the future depends on what we learn to want today, and how best to cultivate desires that are authentic for each of us.

“Stay awake, build stuff, and help out.” Jamie Wheal's masterful new book Recapture the Rapture is a wokeup call for all of us hedonistic Lizard Brain Fuck Monkeys who need to get our shit together and save the world. On the show we talk about the Pareto effect for peak experiences; protocols for a global nervous system reboot; the unintentional outcomes of intentional communities; designing vibrant anti-fragile transformative culture; the sexual yoga of becoming homegrown humans; and a DNA Jesus fish. Above all this is a conversation about building an open-source operating system for transformational culture. Jamie is the best-selling co-author of the 2017 hit Stealing Fire and founder of the Flow Genome project. He is a dear friend of the show and also taught me how to wakeboard for the first time. His new book Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind is a must read for anyone who wants to optimize their psychedelic journey or start an intentional community.

Freeing ourselves from the individual patterns and past that no longer serves us is one avenue to personal mastery.We also face a collective crisis in both meaning within the world, and very real crisis with regards to managing the multiple existential threats on the horizon - from climate change to the toxic food system. How then can we reconnect to our deepest purpose? And what practices can help us reboot allowing us to contribute to a collective perspective for a greater good of all.As we continue this series in understanding the layers of our personal mastery, the next profound teacher featured is Jamie Wheal who says:“These days we're drowning in information, but starving for motivation.”Reconnecting to our true self requires a multidimensional approach from the physical, emotional, spiritual and energetic levels. And with that awareness, today we are looking at the spiritual and neurophysiological nature in how to do this - Mysticism meets science.So in todays video you're going to learn:The collapse in meaning we are all facing.How we can develop a new meaning.The 5 big triggers of peak states.Benefits and pitfalls that peak states offer us collectively.References:Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind: https://www.recapturetherapture.com/Stealing Fire: http://stealingfirebook.com/Flow Genome Project: https://www.flowgenomeproject.com/Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind with Jamie Wheal | Dhru Purohit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nczGI51M_XwJamie Wheal | Awakened Futures Summit 2020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnMZjAheONIRecapture the Rapture, Jamie Wheal (Rebel Wisdom): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbnn2X2fVvA'How to steal fire from the Gods' with Jamie Wheal (Rebel Wisdom): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1eXSvl5rn8VIDEOS MENTIONED
