  • One of one!

    One of my favorite podcasts! If you haven’t attended their events or courses, I can’t recommend them enough. They’re interactive in a refreshing and inviting way, and remarkably generative. Deep dives and honest inquiries into the nature of awareness, consciousness, reality… I especially appreciate the guidance of Amir, who helps keep the conversations extra grounded and clear, and I love getting to hear the audience Q&As for the events I haven’t attended live!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to discover new minds - Michael Levin
Q: What is the origin of your motivations and how did your early experiences shape your research trajectory?
The guest describes a lifelong mental model rooted in the idea that forms and patterns underlie biology and cognition, which has guided hypotheses and experiments even when not fully experienced as personal insights. He emphasizes a cautious approach, differentiating strong, testable claims from total speculation.
Delson Armstrong - questioning tradition & the primacy of consciousness
Q: How do you balance the appeal of profound experiences like cessation or Jhana with ensuring sustained wisdom and ethical growth in daily life?
Profound experiences must be integrated with discernment and wisdom. If a practice leads only to bliss without insight, it risks becoming hollow; true progress involves applying awakening to reduce suffering and improve how one relates to others and the world.
Delson Armstrong - questioning tradition & the primacy of consciousness
Q: What do you see as the role of a teacher in shaping practice without becoming dogmatic or controlling?
A teacher should guide with humility, acknowledge their own limits, encourage students to test ideas, and foster a collaborative relationship where the student's observing mind develops alongside the teacher's insights.
Delson Armstrong - questioning tradition & the primacy of consciousness
Q: I'm curious about your view of Dharma as a route with many paths. Do you think there isn't one single goal, but many viable ways for individuals to find their truth?
Yes, the path is highly individual and context-dependent. While traditions offer helpful maps, the learner should explore what resonates, test it over time, and allow evolutionary understanding to guide teaching while staying rooted in core principles like ethics and mindfulness.
Blind spots of higher states & navigating pain | Andrew Holecek part 2
Q: How can we transform our relationship to pain?
By practicing openness and reducing resistance to it, one can deconstruct suffering from pain itself.
