  • Podcast # 741.

    Poor audio quality mars this particular episode (741). I guess I need to read the transcript. Normally this is not a problem and I really enjoy the podcast.

  • Interview skills

    I really appreciate many things about this podcast, but find myself drifting away from it for extended periods of time because of the amount that Rick inserts himself in the interviews. I wish he would simply ask his guests questions rather than constantly injecting his perspectives, autobiography and knowledge base into every interview. I can hear how off putting it is to some of his guests… particularly women. If you want to teach Rick, go teach. In this format, everyone is better served if yo... more

    Where are levels 1-3. Are you kidding me? I’m 2 hours in and you never talked about locations 1-3 and are just having an esoteric discussion about moving between locations. The subject is so interesting but this might be the worst interview I’ve ever heard.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

759. Leela Muse
Q: What is the role of thoughts and duality in your practice now?
Thoughts are observed as arising within a larger wholeness; duality appears as a natural expression, not as something to be eliminated, and the aim is to remain present and discerning without demonizing personal experience.
754. Julia Mossbridge
Q: Can science be a spiritual practice?
Yes, through an intimate, ongoing dialogue with inquiry and discovery that blends empirical methods with a sense of awe and wonder.
753. Tammy Lee Anderson
Q: How universal is mediumship and is it something everyone should pursue?
Tammy says there are universal capacities, but not everyone should practice mediumship; it requires inner purification, boundaries, and a centered, loving intention, and she emphasizes training, discipline, and self-work.
752. Robert Lawrence Kuhn
Q: What is the hard problem of consciousness according to David Chalmers?
The hard problem asks how inner experiences and subjective phenomenology can be explained or reduced to physical processes; contrasted with the 'easy' problems which map brain functions to behaviors, sensations, and actions.
751. Kogen Czarnik
Q: Is there an end to awakening, or can there always be more growth?
There is no final end; even after initial awakenings, ongoing refinement, compassion, and seeing through deeper layers continue, with new contexts and challenges revealing further depth.
