Thank you all for watching, if you could do me a favour, hit subscribe and turn notifications on it helps us more than you know 🙏🏻 currently we have 74% of regular viewers than haven’t subscribed 😅 appreciate you all.

This is such an important episode for our times.

Live classical concerts makes me emotional and cry.

So True

The bible is real.

Face you fears, just do the “wedding” for her and delineate your agreement, between you both, no “marriage”

You were doing so well in identifying the things which make for life, until it came to the question of monogamy. Faithfulness is a major factor in life empowerment. The idea of giving yourself body and soul to another person and bearing with each other's faults and failings and needs and weaknesses, and working things through, is precious. The idea of betraying the one person's trust of themselves to you, and becoming restless and covetous of something supposedly better elsewhere is very wounding to both/all parties. And of course, forgiveness is another obviously life-giving dynamic.
The best life-giving dynamic is having peace with God, the source of all awe.

The power of a simple walk. Only when i arrived to Spain did i start to appreciate an early or late walk. It clears the mind and is a good time out.. les stress, excercise and enjoy a bit of nature even in the park.. By the way, the Retired Spanish live a walk and a gathering of friends. Add good food and a focus on family values, No wonder they live long

This was fantastic.


Thank you.

There are times when touch is important and children do need to be held and touched. However, when adults touch or hug all the time, it undermines the value of touch. My family is German American and our parents did not touch us once we were in middle school unless one of us was hurt. I allow others to hug me now so as not to hurt other people's feelings, but I reserve touching to those time when someone is in real pain or distress. Context is important.

Steven and Dacher thank you both for this very interesting Conversation! It was very informative and I really enjoyed it!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

I felt the most happiest when I was with my late husband. I struggle now

I traveled to national parks for work shortly after losing my sister to suicide. We struggled with a similar mindset, my body was tired and I felt like letting it. I had this strong instinct that told me to survive this I had to get out and wonder at the world. Normally in daily life, the sky, the animals bring that feeling but I couldn’t bring myself to feel the same in our hometown. So I do understand this. People have asked me during my life how I can stay upbeat. It’s simply appreciating the moment and breathing, extending your happinesses outward. Place yourself back in it!

Great show EXCEPT I HATE to hear about any animal experiments…. So cruel to first cage, then mistreat ANY creature for benefit of humans💔💔💔💔💔Talk about ZERO COMPASSION💔💔💔

As a student of social psyche,
It tells me a lot on how people react to statements like:
“power corrupts, ultimate power corrupts ultimately”
“Lack of power corrupts, ultimate lack of power corrupts ultimately”
Or better yet,
“Desire can corrupt, could bring out each persons true identity,
More drastically when introduced in a more severe manner;
And always situation to each individual”

I'm doing a lot of ohm these days. 😂❤❤

I have my father in a nursing home and you are my angels❤

🖤

I'm lucky to be able to choose what i want to do everyday, i'm poor but free. Everyday i pursue awesome different moments and experiences and my mental health is improving which is having a knock on effect on my physical disabilities, i am getting more good days than i had. I keep my socialising to a minimum and concentrate on smiling, enjoying before its too late, at 61 i am the happiest i have ever been.

A don’t agree that it’s Ookay to accept the probability of unhappy marriage and divorce.
People who have close community or religion and family to draw wisdom as to navigating hardship are still thriving. As well as elders who found agapé love with their spouse and managed to bring up their children with positive role models and learning conflict resolution skills - win/win.
Awe is great if one makes time for it.
The TED talk on Happiness as a university subject is a good resource too.

This is maximum serendipity in that from first teachings, later by visions in meditation or experiencialy im coming to these same conclusions days and weeks before the same concepts are shown "proven".

About touching, my oh ya that too moment came and went 40 minutes before this appeared on my feed.

Good matrix good

Nah , i do have a list of persons that " Karma " forgot 🙄

Some of the nicest people I have known die young???

btw capitalism lifts people out of poverty, is it perfect no just ask Bono from U2, he also said that

Was disappointed when he mentioned Trump in a negative tone, I have a wealthy family member who has great compassion for people! pays for low income kids to go to a better school, coaches lower income kids etc I appreciate your take on awe , maybe next time dont start off the program offending people by criticizing someone else Thank you for the show, there was good content to ponder

But the doctor said that the feeling of all cools down the inflammation so maybe that's why you got the chills..lol

What a nice man

such great conversation that ILLUMINATES. yes to monogamy. Faithful, loyal, growth together.

Sov a bath!

All the money in the world,won’t make you happy. It can help, but self worth is the key to happiness.

Thank you, I have learned a lot❤

I’m in awe way more than most and do breathing practice too and I still got covid, 3x s! But I struggle with gut dysbiosis a lot which is where the immune is Made. Heal the gut for best health.

I believe that the “Chills” we experience when we are listening and/or talking to someone is God letting us know that “TRUTH” is being communicated.

I've always been a compassionate person, whether giving , volunteering, or just helping others
This has always given me a sense of satisfaction
But sadly, it irks me that there are those that littery take advantage and that causes me stress as to ordasity of their pictular behavior, as if they are entitled to take advantage of someones generosity and kindness.

I believe Dalia Lama knows this a long time ago 🤔

At the point of the richer being less compassionate and empathetic. 1. Is not the same becoming super rich/ super wealthy than being born in high wealth. 2. The top 1% (or 10%) has ammassed wealth on the basis of some and many times multiple forms of injustice. 3. To keep the power and privileges they have acquired, they have to justify and maintain systems that allow injustice to happen and to be legal. This for me is crucial for humanity, cause we continue to see the uberwealth interests damaging the others at large scale and the planet as well. In summary: profit and power over LIFE. And we have to fight back, individually and collectivelly. It can and must be done.

All good stuff— but why study this? It is pretty obvious.

At 74 living in Fremont Co Colorado, l now know nice does not work. Crooked, corrupt
Mechanics and govt are the norm.

Fixing loneliness in elderly is NOT easy. Relationships take time and women are all compassioned out. Working, raising children, keeping house. Yes old world cultures have better situations for some elderly, but at the expense of the exhausted WOMEN of the family. You guys would have done better with a woman there. You talk about how the things that women typically provide is more needed than ever. MEN have to help. Women are tapped out. GET IT?

Talking about nature, just gardening outside, whether around the house or apartment or in an urban or community garden does a great deal for uplifting not only the person doing it but also those who pass by and see the work being done. It is a connector for everyone. I do it and more people say hello than if I go to the mailbox just to get my mail and stand there looking at the letters. It doesn’t fail.

This man is a hypocrite with TDS. Not interested.

You should bring thus guest back for a second round of questions. Truly interesting topics of conversation 😊

I think it is possible that the richer you get, more you think you are special. Not the same as these poor saps who can't seem to get their stuff together. Come on, take some responsibility and accountability. I think that the more we understand how the brain works, the more we understand that we are all really connected we become more empathic to those in this world that struggle.

Every time I have experienced something big.. standing under the tall Niagara Falls while riding the maid of the mist, standing in front of the freefall rollercoaster at the theme park, looking at the spaceship at a museum.. things like that suddenly propel me to experience the moment with deep gratitude that wells up inside me and I get a tear or two in my eyes for my good fortune to experience the awe of nature and the awe of ingenuity of man’s creativity

Teaching Healthcare admins about awe???? How about teaching them not to cheat and defraud their customers...🤦‍♀️ this guy is just a perverted liberal woke mouthpiece. But it's good you have so many different people on.

"To Be An Organism Seeking Singularity"

Ripple,
sound,
motion.
Ripple,
as,
concentric circles constantly create that which never existed.
Ripple,
as,
such becomes each and every second.
Ripple,
as,
such creates that of a,
singularity.

Oh,
this singularity.
This simplistic existence,
becomes,
all.
Becomes,
that which all seek.
Becomes,
what it means to,
be.
For,
all that exist,
exist as only.
A moment,
absent form.
A being,
species,
energy,
simply seeking to see,
tomorrow.

Be there,
nothing more profound,
than the continuation,
of,
this anomalistic existence.
Be there,
nothing,
in truth,
seeking to be gained,
within it.
For,
within such,
be there,
this intense wholeness.
This,
one.
This singular,
second.
Singular,
species.
Singular,
earth,
universe.
Be there,
this intensely intimate experience.

For,
to be beings able to breathe,
able to see,
able to feel.
Is,
to be beings,
able to be,
one.
To move,
as one.
See,
as one.
And,
by doing such,
deem oneself,
the sun.
The moon.
Deem,
oneself,
each and every entity.

Wonder,
I do,
of these external realities.
Wonder,
when shall the human see,
it indeed,
simply seeks itself.
Mimicks,
itself.
For,
each car represents,
a human.
And,
more importantly,
such,
represents a,
human in,
a human.
For,
such is tethered to being,
that of,
red blood cells.
Quite literally,
being the blood,
in what humans deem,
society.
But,
of course,
such shall truly be deemed,
a subconsciously formed,
artificial organism.
That which,
said human entity,
simply exist tethered,
based supremely on subconscious factors.
Such factors include,
survival,
procreation,
and of course,
knowing.

Be you beings,
which attempt to know yourself?
Be you,
entities truly seeking to be,
aware?
For,
if such shall be you,
be you deemed,
anomalistic.
Be you,
the,
singularity...

I like the podcast. But the opening is too much
