This clip is from the Huberman Lab episode "Dr. Sam Harris: Using Meditation to Focus, View Consciousness & Expand Your Mind." The full episode can be found on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/-wIt_WsJGfw

I remember a great philosopher saying: seeking is a way of postponing finding. Once you start looking for somewhere where you aren't, you are split into two pieces, and you are lost.

Meditations help you realize that you don't have to "look" for love, peace, happiness, calmness, success. These things come to you when you are still, or in your own state of flow, doing you.

He speaks about life's journey.. and beautifully

In the context of these talks by Sam Harris, J krishnamurthi's famous statement "When the observer becomes the observed" makes complete sense now .

The fist to open hand analogy is "SPOT ON' brilliant

I started meditating about 6 years ago while in recovery from opioid addiction and I began having intense visions as well as dreams, however, to make a long story short, the best way I could ever describe it was that it created this unnatural angst for me that feel like I was being searched for…that people were searching for me…that while “searching for myself within”, i more felt this adrenaline like the wind was blowing against and that on an energetic level I was running (from nothing physical) because I felt like there was this hunt of others searching for me. So I had to start talking to my cells and my body (speaking to my scared inner child) to let her know “I’m right here”…””stop looking for yourself”….so this video resonated deeply for me, thank you 🙏🏼

This is an incredible clip. Thank you Dr Coach Huberman.

I really need to say how pleasant the beginning of the videos are of the light blue beaker with no sound 💙

Dr Harris talks about not seeking but is the literal GOAT seeker.

I have been thinking about self-development (for myself) for a long time. I had many expectations of myself. But I recently realized that all I was looking for was already in me. I can't borrow anything from others that's not there. I can only pay attention and cultivate the seeds.

‘I feel great from meditating’ is a clear sign you’re not quite grasping it just yet.

Amazing!!!❣️

What a guy! Love Sam 💘

this podcast is a gift lol, thank god for the internet

Sam Harris had a great conversation with Swami Sarvapriyananda about Vedanta and Nonduality. I would love to see Andrew and Jordan Peterson have a conversation with Swami Sarvapriyananda as well.

You should have Dr. Lieberman on to talk about his new book on the unconscious from a scientific lens. The author of molecule of more.

even with the stories and analogies I still feel HArris fails to explain his point, you feel as if he is going to go on a tangent at any moment

05:40 it's the occam's razor of thinking
