E155 - Dr. K: How Eastern Wisdom & Neuroscience Unite to Unlock Human Potential

What if the key to healing, fulfillment, and inner peace isn’t found in choosing between science or spirituality, but in weaving the two together? In this conversation, Dr. K bridges the timeless wisdom of the East with the empirical insights of the West, exploring everything from attention and emotion to enlightenment, desire, and the true self. We dive into why so many feel lost in today’s world, how modern distractions suppress the soul, and what ancient traditions already knew about the mind and healing. From shadow work and mystical experiences to the deeper meaning of dharma and the illusion of the personality, this episode invites you to see yourself through a more integrated lens.

E1 - Sadhguru Solves Life’s Most Challenging Questions

Sadhguru is a mystic, yogi, visionary & NY Times best-selling author. He started one of the largest volunteer run non-profit organizations in the world called The Isha Foundation. Sadhguru's teachings have drastically improved my life for the better and I wish for his wisdom to impact the lives of as many people as possible. I find that his explanations on various life’s topics are not only refreshing but revealing. You can feel the resonance of his words to be describing reality the way it is - not just by his opinion or belief. What does true liberation and self-realization feel like? How do we escape the cycle of Samsara & realize our true nature - therefore ending suffering? We discuss these topics and more: - How to gain true clarity in life- What is real self-transformation- How your beliefs keep you blind- Where to begin on the spiritual path- Various meditation practices- Psychedelics - do they help or hinder?- The privilege of voting - The impact of pornography   Timecodes: 0:00 - Intro 5:06 - Sadhguru's enlightenment story 16:21 - How to gain clarity 26:55 - Feeling lost? 35:13 - Understanding the human experience 40:34 - Animal suffering &  the pursuit of happiness 55:28 - Social media - the time is now for awakening. 1:04:10 - Q&A Begins 1:04:38  - The balance of being and doing 1:16:35 - Honoring native indigenous people 1:26:11 - PSYCHEDELICS: help or hinder? 1:37:43 - Meditation: maintain the connection. 1:50:33 - VOTING: A privilege 2:00:37 - Indigenous people's pain 2:05:16 - Pornography & sex traffickingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Know Thyself Podcast

Welcome to The Know Thyself Podcast

In the modern age, we have access to unlimited information at our fingertips. However if we do not take advantage of this gift, it will become our curse. We can harness the potential of all of this available knowledge to wake up to our own light or let the darkness of ignorance continue to run the show. Most people are sleepwalking through life, chained to their perceived limitations and inevitably miss the bliss of what it means to be human.   The Know Thyself Podcast is a place to dive into the perennial questions of life, and in doing so, reveal ancient wisdom applicable for these modern times. Each week the host André Duqum connects with various teachers, spiritual leaders, doctors, heart-led creators and storytellers on topics such as the true nature of ‘Self’, consciousness, philosophy, health optimization, and personal growth.   These conversations are aimed at supporting individuals on their awakening journey, how to reduce human suffering and providing actionable tips for experiencing a truly liberated and fulfilling life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
