In this month's news, Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the mystery drones flown across New Jersey were "authorized to be flown by the FAA" in the first press briefing of the Trump administration. But are these really UAPs/ UFOs? Is the Trump Administration telling the truth?Last month, the UAP Disclosure Fund hosted a town hall to discuss the public safety concerns of these drones operating with impunity over American airspace. The panel from The UAP Disclosure Fund, including Yuan Fung, Chris Grooms, Richard Lang, and Gerry and John Tedesco brothers, joins us on The Good Trouble Show with Matt Ford to discuss the latest and how we must demand transparency from the Trump administration on this public safety issue. The Good Trouble Show: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thegoodtroubleshow Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheGoodTroubleShow YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGoodTroubleShow Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodTroubleShow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegoodtroubleshow/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodtroubleshow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Good-Trouble-Show-With-Matt-Ford-106009712211646 Threads: @TheGoodTroubleShow BlueSky: @TheGoodTroubleShowSegment Producer Ali TravisBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-trouble-show-with-matt-ford--5808897/support.

In this episode, we traverse a decade of Sam's conversations on the topic of meditation.  We start with the very first recorded episode from the archives: a conversation with Sam's meditation teacher and friend, Joseph Goldstein. Goldstein recalls how his thinking was unlocked—allowing him to fully realize the power of the practice—by the utterance of one single word. We then hear from author Richard Lang as he guides us towards a strangely obvious insight that came to be known as “the headless way.” Next, philosopher and neuroscientist Thomas Metzinger employs his vast expertise in both neurobiology and meditation to show how our brains generate a model of the world and self, and how meditation can help us catch that process in the act. Psychiatrist Judson Brewer then shifts the conversation to some very practical applications of mindfulness meditation, addressing the problem of addiction to things like food, smoking, or drugs by retraining the reward centers in our brains. Next, Daniel Goleman and Richard Davidson dig into the neuroscience of meditation and discuss how experienced meditators may actually be physically altering their brains.  We then listen in on Sam's conversation with author Robert Wright, who defends the claim that “Buddhism is true.” Sam and Wright discuss the validity of this claim while ensuring they keep it separate from the political and moral behaviors of Buddhist nations and individuals. We conclude with Sam delivering the answer to a question posed by the Belgian neuroscientist Steven Laureys. In doing so, Sam provides a comprehensive tour of his philosophies. He ties together his personal brand of moral analysis, his reverence for science and truth seeking, and his reasoning as to why he still meditates and why he proudly promotes the practice.   About the Series Filmmaker Jay Shapiro has produced The Essential Sam Harris, a new series of audio documentaries exploring the major topics that Sam has focused on over the course of his career.

What if we've gotten meaning all wrong? Perhaps “searching for meaning” is completely the wrong way to think about things. If we can reconceptualise, it may be far easier to build a life suffused with meaning and joy. Dr Eric Maisel has been fascinated by the subject of meaning since he was a small child. This week Andrew and Eric discuss Eric's new book, which suggests that meaning is just a feeling, and that purpose is a choice. Dr. Eric Maisel is the author of more than 50 books. His interests include creativity, life purpose and meaning; mental health and critical psychology; and parenting in a “mental disorder” age. Dr. Maisel writes the “Rethinking Mental Health” blog for Psychology Today and is a regular contributor to Mad in America, where he founded and edited its parent resources section. Among his favourite things are leading Deep Writing workshops around the world (in places like Paris, London, Rome, Dublin, Prague, New York and San Francisco), working with individual creativity coaching clients, and producing interesting and useful programs (like his Life Purpose Boot Camp Self-Paced Instructor Training).   If You're Looking for More….

Read the full transcript here. What is The Headless Way? What are we like before we accept the names, roles, and narratives given to us by other people? What does it mean for consciousness to be "boundless" or "infinite"? What are the benefits of adopting a "headless" perspective? How can we visit (and feel relatively confident that we've visited) this perspective? Where is this perspective situated relative to the larger constellation of meditation and mindfulness concepts from other traditions?Richard Lang has been teaching The Headless Way for over fifty years having met Douglas Harding, the author of On Having No Head, in 1970. Richard also worked for many years as a psychotherapist as well as teaching tai chi and dance. The Headless Way is a method of waking up to your True Self which is spacious, still, and free. Being conscious of your True Self enables you as an individual to be more creative, loving and effective in the world.

"The Headless Way opens up a radically new way of living." Ever asked yourself: Who am I? Get ready and investigate this question with me in this episode. I still can't fully wrap my head around the fact that I spoke with Richard Lang from The Headless Way (spot the wordplay lol). I discovered Richard's work and the theory of The Headless Way on the infamous Waking Up App. In short, The Headless Way offers you a practical, user-friendly way to see Who you really are. The method was developed by philosopher Douglas Harding, and since his passing in 2007, Richard has dedicated his life to sharing the power and message of The Headless Way. I'm surely not exaggerating when I say that this technique has transformed my life and the lives of countless others from the moment we heard about it and started experimenting with it. It's simple yet incredibly profound. The theory includes a variety of "experiments" that you can try in your everyday life to reconnect with your true nature. No believing. No mysticism. Just looking. It might sound crazy, but as Richard always says, "Try it out for yourself!"

Exercises to allow you to experience headlessness for yourself. This episode is going to blow your mind. Or, at the very least, it'll blow open your perception of who you are. Your mind is always using cues from your perception, beliefs, and past experiences to create your worldview, which is why so many of us experience the world so differently. But when you strip away everything but the raw data of your senses, it's amazing how little you actually experience. Most of what we think of as our experience is actually interpretation and story-telling. But, with enough mindfulness, it's possible to experience just the raw data. And that's what allows us to be fully in the present moment, which is where we need to be to experience the oneness that all spiritual seekers are aiming for. So today we're going to learn about The Headless Way to experience awakening. Our guest is Richard Lang. I know I've talked a lot about Douglas Harding but, he's dead, so Richard is the next best guy. He's dedicated his life to sharing The Headless Way as widely as possible in the world.

In this episode, Brian Curtis, Ph.D. speaks with Richard Lang. Richard was a student of Douglas Harding, the philosophical writer, teacher, and author of many books, including The Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth, and On Having No Head: Zen and the Rediscovery of the Obvious. Richard has written several books about his experiences over 40 years helping others see who they really are and about how to live from this truth. Brian and Richard discuss a wide range of topics, including how Richard became interested in questions about his true nature, his meeting Douglas Harding, the importance of being honest, and relying on our own experience and testing things out for ourselves when investigating this fundamental question of who we really are. Richard will lead listeners through a few experiments to direct your attention at yourself to see who you are from your own point of view, the implications of this insight for deepening your relationships, the role of development in losing and rediscovering your true nature, Richard's recent efforts to help people communicate about their own experiences with others, properly locating where your thoughts are, theory of mind, the resulting implications for your suffering and wellbeing, and how these discoveries lead to awe, wonder, and unlocking many new mysteries to explore.

In this interview, Richard Lang talks about his journey prior to encountering the headless way, how his desire for awakening evolved over time, What The Headless Way is and how it works, and how we can incorporate frequent moments of seeing our true nature in the middle of daily life, the relationship between love, compassion and the headless way,  and more. He also conducts an experiment for the audience, in which he attempts to make us realize what our First-person experience is actually like. Message from Richard: My name is Richard Lang and I have been involved with the Headless Way for over fifty years. When I was a teenager I was interested in finding out who I really was and by chance one day found myself in a workshop with Douglas Harding, author of On Having No Head. Douglas took me and the other participants through some of his experiments and we all saw our True Nature. Douglas extended a hand of friendship to anyone interested in the Headless Way, so I began visiting him and over the years made many friends who value this direct method of Awakening. One of the things I have learned is that it is very helpful to have friends with whom I can share this Awareness, or Seeing as we call it. I recommend connecting up with other Seers. The Seeing is infectious. As well as practicing this Way, I was personally drawn to sharing it. So over the years, I have given many workshops. I also set up a charitable trust to help make available this modern method of seeing Who we really are. We offer many things on our website, on our YouTube channel, and publish practically all of Douglas Harding's books. We also offer zoom meetings where people can get to know other Seers. Our ambition is to make Seeing as widely available as possible. This is why we are happy to be part of Innercraft.

In this episode, Geoff and Richard discuss the Headless Way, which is a set of reflections and guided meditations that centre around seeing *who you really are*. Richard even guides the listener through a few ‘experiments' from the Headless Way. The Headless Way seeks to highlight what experience is like from a first-person point of view – as a subject. When you look at the world as a subject, you have no head. That's ‘headlessness'. Of course, you still have a head, but it's only visible from the third-person point of view – as an object, as a person. As adults, we go through life seeing ourselves as others see us. For others, we are an object, a person (with a head), a thing. So, we learn to see ourselves as an object for others. Richard encourages us to re-learn what it is like to see ourselves from the first-person point of view – as headless subjects, as empty space for the world. Geoff and Richard discuss the many, deep implications of the Headless Way: identity (who is at the centre of experience?); third-person science versus the science of the first person; links with psychology and mainstream science; theory of mind; stages of development; learning to wear your face; creativity; learning to live with dualisms; otherness and separateness; projection and reflection; sociology, politics and foreign policy; perception; our experience of time; the distance of observation in physics; other animals; other sense modalities; language and culture; and other topics. *** Richard Lang discovered the Headless Way in 1970 when he met Douglas Harding, author of On Having No Head. Though he was only 17, Richard recognised that the Headless Way experiments are astonishingly effective at delivering the experience of *who you really are*. Since then, Richard has been involved in sharing the experience of *who we really are* with others and now has many friends around the world. In 1996, he set up the Shollond Trust, a UK charity dedicated to sharing the Headless Way. Richard is the author of the books Seeing Who You Really Are (2003), Open to the Source: Selected Teachings of Douglas Harding (2005), Celebrating Who We Are (2017), The Man With No Head: The Life and Ideas of Douglas Harding (2017) – and the editor of a recent volume of Douglas Harding's work, As I See It: Articles, selected by Richard Lang (2018). He is also the narrator for audiobook versions of Harding's books, The Science of the First Person and On Having No Head. You can find more material on the Headless Way in several places: on Richard's website (headless.org); on YouTube (youtube.com/RichardLangHeadexchange); through The Headless Way app (on iTunes App Store or Google Play); through Waking Up, a meditation app by Sam Harris; and on Richard's own podcast channel (search for ‘Richard Lang – Headless Way').

While The Headless Way is described as a means of finding one's “true nature” with childlike simplicity. Richard Lang says, “What I don't like about the term ‘true' nature is that is assumes our ‘human' nature is false; I quite like my ‘human' nature.” Richard continues, “I prefer looking at this process as finding both our ‘peripheral' and our ‘central' nature. Why disparages our human nature?” The Headless Way is as established as the 12-Step movement. Richard directs us to The Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth, the greatest book on philosophy penned in 1943 by Douglas Harding, and the origins of the Headless Way. CE Lewis in reviewing the manuscript and said, “I have never been so drunk on a book in all my life. This is the highest genius, and it must be published.” CE Lewis would write the Foreword to the condensed version in 1952. On a somber note, David G's memorializes Paul Muff, his co-founder of Here's Tom With the Weather podcast, who died suddenly and unexpectedly last week. Show Notes: Get to know Richard better: https://headless.org Reach guest-host Joe C of Rebellion Dogs Radio @ https://rebelliondogspublishing.com/ Visit our show for a live taping of Here's Tom With The Weather any Friday at Noon Pacific, 3 PM East, 8 PM Ireland/UK, 7 AM (Saturday) AEDT on Zoom:Meeting ID: 882 1549 8348, passcode TomHere's Tom With the Weather Podcast Page: https://www.buzzsprout.com/901954/9621451 Or visit, https://htwtw.org
