Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Science of Magic with Dean Radin
Q: First, why this book and why the term magic?
Magic is used as a placeholder for phenomena that are remarkable and not yet understood; the discussion reframes magic as the mind's potential to influence or interact with the physical world, grounded in what parapsychology has studied.
Come Home to Yourself With Sadhvi Bhagavati Saraswati
Q: Why this book? What motivated you to write?
It's a book of questions and answers. It takes the transcriptions of the questions that people have asked in the satsang that I lead every night at the ashram.
Come Home to Yourself With Sadhvi Bhagavati Saraswati
Q: Sadhvi, is it easy?
No, no, most definitely not easy at all. Walking into an ashram, dedicating yourself to living in ashram, wearing saffron robes or white robes, it doesn't sadly change the nature of your mind.
Spiritual Practice for Crazy Times Series – Ep 12 Rabbi Rami Shapiro
Q: What are the advantages and pitfalls of exploring traditions outside your own?
Advantages include gaining a nuanced view of one's own tradition, while pitfalls involve superficial practice without a guiding purpose.
Spiritual Practice for Crazy Times Series – Ep 12 Rabbi Rami Shapiro
Q: What do you tell people struggling with grief, especially when they can't participate in traditional mourning rituals?
I recommend practices like meta-practice to send blessings to both the deceased and the grieving families.
