The fact that these podcasts come out every weeks feels like something illegal. How can you get such beautiful and absolutely mind blowing conversations EVERY WEEK? All I can say is… Thank you 🙌🏼
25 years ago, while incarcerated, I took a class called cognitive intervention ( basically it was cognitive behavioral therapy) and it was the greatest thing that could have happened to me. I've been out for 20 years and I can definitely thank that class for the fact that I have not gone back.
I don`t know how many hours of conversations with John I`ve heard, or his own programs. This conversation was the most profound and beautiful and I wanna thank you both for it. And I hope for more. John is a Philosophy by himself. This was so touching and moving. Somehow transcendent. To say "thank you" is not enough.
1/3 in and it just seems like basic common sense here - ie “man’s search for meaning” … 56:00 calling qanon pernicious & earlier referring to a supposed rise is nasi’s seems telling of his political alignment, too, 👆ie “professor” = elitist , & doesn’t dare venture into the fray of calling out the invisible hand that feeds him
Andre, you have such great guests on your podcast’s but I must tell you, I truly enjoy your insights! You are so thought provoking and knowledgeable in every interview!!
This one suprised me. I didnt think i would be into it but oh my dear - it was beautiful dance. I really admire how Andre is able to keep up with all the guests - being “on” for three hours and provide the guest with the respect, space and enthusiasm. It just has been a pleasure to be witnessing the conecting that was created during the interview. Thank you
Andre really does do a great job keeping up with his brilliant guests. Meanwhile, I sometimes feel like 😵💫 because of all the info that's coming in & going with the (sometimes rapid) flow of the convo.
so true, and this is a HUGE strength! makes me want to listen to all his interviews because I feel like I'll get a chance to encounter the philosophy of the interviewee in depth.
I've listened to hundreds of hours of Vervaeke while driving/working. Starting my own ecology of practices has been life-changing. I truly believe he is doing some of the most important work of our generation. I can't wait to hear more about the philosophical silk Road!
This was one of the best interviews i've heard with my intellectual hero, Mr. John Vervaeke. Thank you! Your interview skills are top-notch, and your probative insight with John earned you a "subscribe" from this guy!
Gratitude to John Vervaeke and equally to Andre. It’s as if Andre creates an energetic space that increases with each guest. An architect erecting these pillars of light, as he stands in the center as an exponentiation factor with his own wisdom radiating. The wisdom and humility. Exquisite.
John Vervaeke is this close 🤏🏼 from becoming the Jazz musician of meaning. In his early appearances I personally found him a little to rigid and technical. He must have had found some „answers“ to his own meaning crisis in the last couple of years. He’s got a whole new vibe to him. I thank both of you for this great conversation.
Krishnamurti has taught me to be free. "I just don't care" was one of his teachings that taught me to be unafraid and say what I feel. With no fear, there is no hitch in my giddy-up.
John has been a precious source of wisdom for me & his Meaning Crisis series shifted the ground of reality for me in such a profound way. I’ve since started women’s circles where we flow through qi gong, meditation, contemplative journaling, conscious conversation & communal ritual to reconnect with life - this whole discussion is deeply aligned with the exploration & experience we’re welcoming. It’s life changing! This convo is one of the BEST comprehensive threads I’ve seen from John so far ❤️🔥 so rich. Thank you for this sacred dialogos guys!
18:54 is pure gold. We think “You find the “one” and they will make you complete” …yet the thing that often brings the most suffering is romantic relationships! How ironic is that? ❤
Thanks so much to a intervistated person .....finally I could feel the authentic Compassion for some-body telling his tormentous story about his childhood and school-period. When he was talking about it he was so sorry...but I feeled Compassion about his past soffer, even he is almost shy about it.❤ Such a wonderfull story of his life he shared with us. Thank You both!❤ GOD BLESSED YOU!
John is an embodiment of what he points to. Even when i have a hard time following intellectually, I feel/ sense/ manage to learn by example. He is the best kind of teacher. His excitement is contagious and his quality of innocence helps me disarm my heart and notions about the world. I was really touched by how you two connected. Male intimacy is very precious to witness, thank you brothers! Andre - please get Daniel Schmactenberger too. Another man who walks his talk and is not simply an intellectual.!
Thank you Andre for doing what you’re doing, your work in bringing together so many great minds and sharing it with all of us could potentially be creating an unimaginable ripple effect in the future of mankind. 🤙
Walking The Philosophical Silk Road is the very thing I have been waiting to hear about, and have been putting feelers out for since completing my MA in the neo-platonic tradition, including cosmology and divination studies. I have tried to talk to many about this language for the sacred, ai have run an open philosophy group in my home town for over 6 yrs, and even with interested folk it has been SO hard to bring forth the dialogues. Thank yo SO MUCH Andre for bring this conversation into the world. I have been inspired by every conversation you have put out, but this one is so very exiting of my deepest passions!!! On fire 🔥
So so captivated by this interview and so much in there working in ways beyond my understanding. I admit I have not come across John before but I loved receiving the clear amount of knowledge and wisdom from him and then seeing in his eyes this awe and wonderment which feels innocent and childlike. Andre gives so much respect and space too and always seems to give the perfect response to keep things moving but also allow the depth of a subject to be felt. Love it!!! And would be super interested to see a second interview.
Wow! So delighted to hear this podcast. Please bring John back, much more to uncover. John, I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on Wilber. I love the feeling of equanimity you share with. Thank you
When it comes to problem solving and adaptive response, or insight relevance, realization; we can passively wait for an insight through ask, wait and listen. In my experience,we tend to feel uncomfortable in the silence of passively waiting for the insight to be realized. What am I missing in this situation? What is the best possible action I can take in this situation for the best of all concerned? One of my biggest challenges has been to use insight, being aware of what is going on in another rather than being so totally ingrossed in my own world. Un consiously aware of what what is going on with the other through active listening, being connected, holding space for the other while being in one's own integrity. Thank you for all your knowledge. This really applies to me living my most beautiful life
André you're phenomenal. Thank you so much for your service!! Thank you to Mr John Vervaeke for not holding back and for his immense work. For being able to provide such clearance to his years of exploration. And to all the guests that share their knowledge so generously. Deeply grateful for alllowing hope to rise once again.🙏
How suitable to have John Vervaeke here! I love his enthusiasm and sincerity for sharing. I can never get tired of learning from him and I do hope that he'll reach enlightenment as he wishes. Thank you very much.
Wonderful dialogue here. "Relationships should not be the ultimate, but they should be nourished by the ultimate." "Well said!" "You said that." "Oh! Well said, John." 😆
I feel Humanity is on the Cuspe of turning in the right direction at the Cossroads of our existence when I hear great minds articulate their experiences so honestly and profoundly 🤗
Thanks for sharing your personal story as it makes your work more relatable. I have wondered why I haven’t sensed a closeness from you when you are with Jordan Peterson but now I can see that your early experience of people may be the key reason. We do need wisdom and sages in life and you are one.
❤ Andre’s skill for questioning and interviewing. Right topics. Right time for our Human Family! 🙏 This juicy bucket of topics align with my work purpose so very awesome and insightful! I continue to send people here!Namaste! Going Deeper … Together!
After a long year of integration back into social life, I'm in that flowing through life om tat sat, lucidly awake, compassionate indifference to different. Experiencing awareness at microbial and planetary scale with mental interaction, beyond dimensional forms. Enlightening. It seems like a continuous dmt or something drip constantly. Meditation practice increases intensity of experience. Cool.
This is the one of the best & most 'meaningful' conversations ive heard in a podcast. Thanks to both of you for enhancing this 'participatory' wisdom 😊
At the end there was a moment of love where both did not the conversation to end and say good bye. Have always loved John and his passion towards his work. Kudos to Mr podcaster for one more Amazing podcast. Great questions brother. Keep it up!
André, this was one of the most amazing conversations I have ever heard! Your comments and questions are so extremely intelligent and thoughtful! The flow state you created here was incredible! Am so much looking forward to more! Thank you!☀️
Thank you both… more than words can convey. I feel like this conversation places so many sign posts on the most important path one can take. So much good work to do! Thank you 🙏
André, you got amazing guests and your deep questions give each interview a very special touch. I love a lot of the points mentioned and I will reflect them more deeply. I love the rapid fire closing answers. Like we're in a Chiros and this is where the systems are most unstable but at this point individual actions can make most difference. And I also deeply appreciate the comment where dialogos develop a live of themselves. I tried this locally with a journalist and 2 professors. But it seems to be difficult if not both people are really wanting to open up to the other side. I dived a little deeper into Spiral Dynamics which I love. This model to me describes why conversations with some people do not bring this level of deepness and creating anything new. Thank you!!!
Kairological time and its understanding is my other passion! You have delivered to me a real modern day hero! The conclusion was self fulfilling! Sublime dialogue!!! It matters to me so much and truly changes the way in which I will walk through life, feeling so much less alone 🙏
This was amazing..OK I needed to rewind and look stuff up but this blew my mind. John insights on life makes me want to meditate more. I truly find inner peace and wisdom in meditation. Ty so much for your beautiful channel. Oh and love the rapid fire questions they were truly inspirational. Ty ty so much please have John back.
I feel there is an overlooked point regarding solitary confinement- Solitary confinement as a punishment also has perspective. Whether it’s confinement by force, or confinement by choice isn’t necessarily the mechanism that is determinative. It’s what a person does with confinement that matters. It’s like anything else in the world, it’s how we respond that matters. Confinement can be the most beautiful eye opening experience for unveiling truth, spirit, knowing thy self thee is. Think of a monk or a Buddha like figure living life in the quiet of being without even thought, possessions, outside world influence. They find enlightenment through being “alone”. The funny twist is that it’s an illusion of being alone. If Buddha is perceived to be alone but in reality is connected to everything and the highest levels of spirit and love is Buddha really alone? On the flip side, if a person has all the things of the world in a massive abundance and perceived to “have it all” are they alone? Why is it that the people that have all the money and things seem to also carry the heaviest hearts, depth of despair, tend to be the most corrupt and try to control other people in the most sinister ways? and why is it that those that let go of this find joy and happiness and a profound sense of peace? Is confining yourself to look inward on a journey in search of truth really a bad thing? Or is it simply just a thing with out the need for a label and is an opportunity that by free will can be a means to finding the worst pain/and the highest enlightenment. I say yes. Yea it’s that and those things all at the same time. And it’s how we choose that matters. Our action, our thinking, our desire to be open or closed minded. And the willingness to stay humble to receiving knowledge beyond this worlds understanding
Thank you to both of you for helping me realize how delusional I can be, but also letting me know that I am on the path of finding true meaning and feeling self worth. Also I have a lot of studying to do on my vocabulary words. Especially in short hand. Phycological jargan. Trying to follow along with some of the things you guys were talking about was very humbling. With love and admiration Ira Duane Emmons.
I need to Google this man's every other word. I love to extend my vocabulary. I'm finding it hard to comprehend his story because my curiosity has me looking up the definition of every word.
Making me cry. My adopted mother was forced into marriage bc of religious beliefs also. She seemed to hate me. Life is a journey... I was abandoned at birth. I broke up two families. The Sky is my father. The Earth is my mother. I majored in Wisdom in college. ❤ And have a personal connection to the prophet Jesus.
Andre, you have a beautiful way of holding space. You are truly an artist and your art "washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life". I "officially" became a Philosophy major way back in 2008, although I don't believe there was actually a beginning and will ever been an end. I don't want to flip back and forth to make sure I spell his name correctly although I will certainly be pursuing his work; I am surprised this is the first time I've been introduced to John V. It's good to see true philosophers making a comeback. Thank you both so much, this was a beautiful dialogue.
In philosophical Taoism, "immortality" (xian) is more about achieving harmony with the Tao and transcending the typical human preoccupations with death and the self, rather than about extending physical life indefinitely. The goal is a state of spiritual liberation characterized by: 1. Unity with the Tao: Becoming one with the natural flow of existence, beyond the duality of life and death 2. Non-attachment: Releasing the ego's desperate grasp on physical existence and individual identity 3. Spontaneity (wu-wei): Living naturally and effortlessly in accordance with the Tao 4. Letting go. Returns to the uncarved block.
AM I? The choice of what you are, is produced by what you vibrates in your being. You are the subject that observes creation, who determines the manifestation of each particle, you are the one who gives meaning to existence, who decides the future based on your present, who heals your past based on your attitude. You are the one who makes the decision to live from unconsciousness or from consciousness, you are the one who has embarked on the adventure of living, you are the subject of each object, you are the one who gives meaning to the verb in action. Everything we see, like physical things, it's all just islands and under it, carrying it, is this sweeping current. And if you pay attention, you can start to feel it. Now if we can feel the current we can feel other things in the current. People, and we can feel how the current will move them and we can see where they'll go. It's all in the movement, you see, it pushes itself. It's easier to move with it than against it. You can feel it! It's like a pulse. This force, this energy field created by all things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxies together. And so, know this: in every movement, you are exactly where you need to be. You are contributing to the grand unfolding of existence. You are the beauty, the joy, and the love you seek. There is no separation between you and the whole. You are loved, you are supported, and you are a vital part of the universe's infinite dance. When you align with this truth, your heart will leap in joy, for you will know that you are always, eternally, at one with the cosmic flow of existence. All beings, all things, are one. And in this oneness, there is nothing but love. Namaste Ubuntu nævis
The fact that these podcasts come out every weeks feels like something illegal. How can you get such beautiful and absolutely mind blowing conversations EVERY WEEK? All I can say is… Thank you 🙌🏼
😂nice…🎉
Truly
YES AGREED
Agreed❤
So fantastic!
John Vervaeke was my professor in university and I absolutely loved his class. What an incredible teacher
So you must be an incredible student then! 😉
@@elainesuth6771 well, Always needs Both
Wow lucky!!
He's my teacher now!! Thru technology Praise God
25 years ago, while incarcerated, I took a class called cognitive intervention ( basically it was cognitive behavioral therapy) and it was the greatest thing that could have happened to me. I've been out for 20 years and I can definitely thank that class for the fact that I have not gone back.
Right on brother 🙏
Maybe if they taught that in school there wouldn’t be so many young men going to prison
I don`t know how many hours of conversations with John I`ve heard, or his own programs. This conversation was the most profound and beautiful and I wanna thank you both for it. And I hope for more. John is a Philosophy by himself. This was so touching and moving. Somehow transcendent. To say "thank you" is not enough.
I was gonna say the same.
1/3 in and it just seems like basic common sense here - ie “man’s search for meaning” …
56:00 calling qanon pernicious & earlier referring to a supposed rise is nasi’s seems telling of his political alignment, too,
👆ie “professor” = elitist , & doesn’t dare venture into the fray of calling out the invisible hand that feeds him
Man, he did by yt teaching lots of good in my life! Absolutely fenomenal human
Credit to Andre as this is the best interview of Vervaeke out of many I have listened to.
Andre, you have such great guests on your podcast’s but I must tell you, I truly enjoy your insights! You are so thought provoking and knowledgeable in every interview!!
This one suprised me. I didnt think i would be into it but oh my dear - it was beautiful dance.

Andre really does do a great job keeping up with his brilliant guests.
Meanwhile, I sometimes feel like 😵💫 because of all the info that's coming in & going with the (sometimes rapid) flow of the convo.
Both times John said " If you want me back , I will come back ." I was moved to tears .
😂😂😂
A great interview. The best of vervaeke. And kudos to Andre for his energy&wisdom. All silk roads lead to Intelligence.
You are one of most gracious and open allowing host's out there today 🙌 it's just so absolutely beautiful ❤
so true, and this is a HUGE strength! makes me want to listen to all his interviews because I feel like I'll get a chance to encounter the philosophy of the interviewee in depth.
I've listened to hundreds of hours of Vervaeke while driving/working. Starting my own ecology of practices has been life-changing. I truly believe he is doing some of the most important work of our generation. I can't wait to hear more about the philosophical silk Road!
This was one of the best interviews i've heard with my intellectual hero, Mr. John Vervaeke. Thank you!
Your interview skills are top-notch, and your probative insight with John earned you a "subscribe" from this guy!
Andre I LOVE your comparative example " the difference between holding a menu , and eating a meal " . Excellent !
Gratitude to John Vervaeke and equally to Andre. It’s as if Andre creates an energetic space that increases with each guest. An architect erecting these pillars of light, as he stands in the center as an exponentiation factor with his own wisdom radiating. The wisdom and humility. Exquisite.
John Vervaeke is this close 🤏🏼 from becoming the Jazz musician of meaning. In his early appearances I personally found him a little to rigid and technical.
He must have had found some „answers“ to his own meaning crisis in the last couple of years. He’s got a whole new vibe to him.
I thank both of you for this great conversation.
I suspect that one of those answers was Sarah.
100% Academicians are gradually coming along. Unless we have a cosmic, this process might take a very long time.
He is practicing the introspection that he preaches. This is a representation of great wisdom.
You lit his fire Andre❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Krishnamurti has taught me to be free. "I just don't care" was one of his teachings that taught me to be unafraid and say what I feel. With no fear, there is no hitch in my giddy-up.
John has been a precious source of wisdom for me & his Meaning Crisis series shifted the ground of reality for me in such a profound way.

It’s life changing! This convo is one of the BEST comprehensive threads I’ve seen from John so far ❤️🔥 so rich. Thank you for this sacred dialogos guys!
Love how he describes the difference between idol and icon. It is a horrible feeling to be someone’s idol.
18:54 is pure gold. We think “You find the “one” and they will make you complete” …yet the thing that often brings the most suffering is romantic relationships! How ironic is that? ❤
So freaking true ugh...😢 unfortunately it's making me stay single.
Don't let people project onto you who they think you should be, just breath just be.😊
Beautiful comment!
That’s true, and I really don’t like it when it happens to me. The art, however, is to recognize it consciously.
*breathe
And don’t let them to project onto you what they think about themselves.
Thanks so much to a intervistated person .....finally I could feel the authentic Compassion for some-body telling his tormentous story about his childhood and school-period. When he was talking about it he was so sorry...but I feeled Compassion about his past soffer, even he is almost shy about it.❤ Such a wonderfull story of his life he shared with us. Thank You both!❤ GOD BLESSED YOU!
John is an embodiment of what he points to. Even when i have a hard time following intellectually, I feel/ sense/ manage to learn by example. He is the best kind of teacher. His excitement is contagious and his quality of innocence helps me disarm my heart and notions about the world. I was really touched by how you two connected. Male intimacy is very precious to witness, thank you brothers! Andre - please get Daniel Schmactenberger too. Another man who walks his talk and is not simply an intellectual.!
This was better than I had anticipated. Didn't know of him previous.
I got it now. Thank you so much John and Andre. Wow! What a Mystical Being You both are.
This man has altered my path, thus altering the paths of many more, I am very grateful for both of you.
Thank you Andre for doing what you’re doing, your work in bringing together so many great minds and sharing it with all of us could potentially be creating an unimaginable ripple effect in the future of mankind. 🤙
Best Podcast on the internet…Thank you!
Immense gratitude for this conversation. Know thyself is not an autobiography, it is a knowing of the user manual. Brilliant!
Walking The Philosophical Silk Road is the very thing I have been waiting to hear about, and have been putting feelers out for since completing my MA in the neo-platonic tradition, including cosmology and divination studies. I have tried to talk to many about this language for the sacred, ai have run an open philosophy group in my home town for over 6 yrs, and even with interested folk it has been SO hard to bring forth the dialogues.
Thank yo SO MUCH Andre for bring this conversation into the world. I have been inspired by every conversation you have put out, but this one is so very exiting of my deepest passions!!! On fire 🔥
Absolutely love John V. Incredible content and brilliant delivery. This is definitely a double listener of a podcast
So so captivated by this interview and so much in there working in ways beyond my understanding. I admit I have not come across John before but I loved receiving the clear amount of knowledge and wisdom from him and then seeing in his eyes this awe and wonderment which feels innocent and childlike. Andre gives so much respect and space too and always seems to give the perfect response to keep things moving but also allow the depth of a subject to be felt. Love it!!! And would be super interested to see a second interview.
I just love this Podcast and all the guest you have on. It’s mind candy. ❤
My goodness! this conversation was an absolute pleasure!! Thank you both for what was shared and created together ❤
WOW! You got Prof. Vervaeke on the podcast!? Dude that's amazing. I love his work
Wow! So delighted to hear this podcast. Please bring John back, much more to uncover. John, I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on Wilber.
I love the feeling of equanimity you share with. Thank you
Благодарим ви!
What an INCREDIBLE conversation! "The advent of the Sacred" Can't wait! ☀️

André you're phenomenal. Thank you so much for your service!!
Thank you to Mr John Vervaeke for not holding back and for his immense work. For being able to provide such clearance to his years of exploration. And to all the guests that share their knowledge so generously. Deeply grateful for alllowing hope to rise once again.🙏
Dr John Vervaeke is the most wise and virtuous man ive encountered in 35 years of life. May God protect and bless him 🙏
I know now that I will closely rewatch this because it is so full of truly useful information, knowledge and wisdom! Well done 👍🏼 ❤
How suitable to have John Vervaeke here! I love his enthusiasm and sincerity for sharing. I can never get tired of learning from him and I do hope that he'll reach enlightenment as he wishes. Thank you very much.
Andre, I think you will be remembered as one of the best conversationalists of our time. Keep it going dude 👍
Thanks!
I now know that I will move through the world and always be open and hopeful to find others with whom I can explore this journey back into meaning. ❤
This is hitting hard off the bat, so many things in the first 6 minutes that reflect my childhood with scary accuracy.
Wonderful dialogue here. "Relationships should not be the ultimate, but they should be nourished by the ultimate." "Well said!" "You said that." "Oh! Well said, John." 😆
I feel Humanity is on the Cuspe of turning in the right direction at the Cossroads of our existence when I hear great minds articulate their experiences so honestly and profoundly 🤗
One of the best interviews with Verveake thus far. Bravo. Great questions
Thanks for sharing your personal story as it makes your work more relatable. I have wondered why I haven’t sensed a closeness from you when you are with Jordan Peterson but now I can see that your early experience of people may be the key reason. We do need wisdom and sages in life and you are one.
What an amazing conversation, we are so blessed to have this opportunity to listen to such great knowledge and wisdom.
Maaaazing conversation. Thank you to both for existing 🙌 the world is changing 🔥
Orientation over purpose. Amen. Something to guide you in each moment. I appreciate this. 31:00
❤ Andre’s skill for questioning and interviewing. Right topics. Right time for our Human Family! 🙏 This juicy bucket of topics align with my work purpose so very awesome and insightful! I continue to send people here!Namaste! Going Deeper … Together!

❤ Fabulous conversation! Ty both 🕊️💕✨
Its the highest of pleasures to FLOW while listening to John!
I see him as the "Dr House" of Philosophy 😄
This is the one of the best & most 'meaningful' conversations ive heard in a podcast. Thanks to both of you for enhancing this 'participatory' wisdom 😊
At the end there was a moment of love where both did not the conversation to end and say good bye. Have always loved John and his passion towards his work. Kudos to Mr podcaster for one more Amazing podcast. Great questions brother. Keep it up!
Thank you Andre and John. Imagine a conversation between John and Rupert Spira ….
Thank you John and Andre, for such an enjoyable and rich conversation. A truly top rate podcast.
I’m deeply grateful to both of you , this is so important knowledgeable and helpful wisdom to hear. Sending love to both of you💞🧘🏼♀️🙏🙇♀️.
Every JV conversation is profoundly captivating
André, this was one of the most amazing conversations I have ever heard! Your comments and questions are so extremely intelligent and thoughtful! The flow state you created here was incredible!
Am so much looking forward to more! Thank you!☀️
Wow. This conversation gave me dozens of moments of curiosity vertigo. Every branch of the conversation is worth years of contemplation. Thank you 🙏
Thank you both… more than words can convey. I feel like this conversation places so many sign posts on the most important path one can take. So much good work to do! Thank you 🙏
Andre, I love how you allow your guests to talk without excessive interruptions. I have subscribed!
André, you got amazing guests and your deep questions give each interview a very special touch. I love a lot of the points mentioned and I will reflect them more deeply. I love the rapid fire closing answers. Like we're in a Chiros and this is where the systems are most unstable but at this point individual actions can make most difference.

"Wisdom is moderation. Moderation is wisdom."---Socrates via Plato
Great teachers love their work, it's apparent how much these guys have to offer, take that from this soon to be 72. year old student.
This is so my energy! Thank you for this reading! And encouragement!
I feel there is an overlooked point regarding solitary confinement-
Solitary confinement as a punishment also has perspective. Whether it’s confinement by force, or confinement by choice isn’t necessarily the mechanism that is determinative. It’s what a person does with confinement that matters. It’s like anything else in the world, it’s how we respond that matters.
Confinement can be the most beautiful eye opening experience for unveiling truth, spirit, knowing thy self thee is.

Please do have John vervaeke back! Thanks for the conversation ❤
I need to Google this man's every other word. I love to extend my vocabulary. I'm finding it hard to comprehend his story because my curiosity has me looking up the definition of every word.
Another brilliant guest. Thank you, Andre.
This was beautiful ✨
Making me cry. My adopted mother was forced into marriage bc of religious beliefs also. She seemed to hate me. Life is a journey... I was abandoned at birth. I broke up two families.
The Sky is my father. The Earth is my mother. I majored in Wisdom in college. ❤ And have a personal connection to the prophet Jesus.
Andre, you have a beautiful way of holding space. You are truly an artist and your art "washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life".
I "officially" became a Philosophy major way back in 2008, although I don't believe there was actually a beginning and will ever been an end. I don't want to flip back and forth to make sure I spell his name correctly although I will certainly be pursuing his work; I am surprised this is the first time I've been introduced to John V. It's good to see true philosophers making a comeback.
Thank you both so much, this was a beautiful dialogue.
Excellent thank you.
Pls never stop doing episodes like this 🙏
Would loooove to see Michael Singer on your podcast!!
In philosophical Taoism, "immortality" (xian) is more about achieving harmony with the Tao and transcending the typical human preoccupations with death and the self, rather than about extending physical life indefinitely. The goal is a state of spiritual liberation characterized by:
1. Unity with the Tao: Becoming one with the natural flow of existence, beyond the duality of life and death
2. Non-attachment: Releasing the ego's desperate grasp on physical existence and individual identity
3. Spontaneity (wu-wei): Living naturally and effortlessly in accordance with the Tao
4. Letting go. Returns to the uncarved block.
One of your best yet x
Amazing 3h on the road. It felt like carpooling with two brilliant minds.
This one is for the hall of fame ❤
This conversation literally blew my mind! So inspiring, thank you🙏🙏
Wow wow
Mind blowing 😊
Love the idea of transcending in gods field as it opens up to me while I move on it and become like god on my way to wisdom.
Both of you are in fine form in this one! Thanks for such a wonderful and rich conversation
You lit his fire Andre❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
AM I?
The choice of what you are, is produced by what you vibrates in your being. You are the subject that observes creation, who determines the manifestation of each particle, you are the one who gives meaning to existence, who decides the future based on your present, who heals your past based on your attitude. You are the one who makes the decision to live from unconsciousness or from consciousness, you are the one who has embarked on the adventure of living, you are the subject of each object, you are the one who gives meaning to the verb in action.
Everything we see, like physical things, it's all just islands and under it, carrying it, is this sweeping current. And if you pay attention, you can start to feel it. Now if we can feel the current we can feel other things in the current. People, and we can feel how the current will move them and we can see where they'll go. It's all in the movement, you see, it pushes itself. It's easier to move with it than against it. You can feel it! It's like a pulse.
This force, this energy field created by all things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxies together.
And so, know this:
in every movement, you are exactly where you need to be. You are contributing to the grand unfolding of existence. You are the beauty, the joy, and the love you seek. There is no separation between you and the whole. You are loved, you are supported, and you are a vital part of the universe's infinite dance. When you align with this truth, your heart will leap in joy, for you will know that you are always, eternally, at one with the cosmic flow of existence.
All beings, all things, are one. And in this oneness, there is nothing but love.
