    Sadhguru (World’s No.1 Guru) PREDICTS: "There Is A Mental Health Pandemic Coming! & We Are On The Brink Of Extinction!"

    Steven sits down with world famous yogi Sadhguru to discuss topics such as humanity's unhappiness despite rising wealth and methods to increase human consciousness and avoid suicide pandemic and other mental health issues.

    enOctober 19, 2023

    What is the predicted mental health trend post-pandemic?
    How can awareness of breath affect our well-being?
    Why is it important to understand our inner selves?
    What statistics highlight the urgency of mental health issues?
    How did ancient India approach individual well-being?

    In the latest episode of the podcast, host Steven engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Sadhguru, a renowned Indian yogi and spiritual teacher, about the looming mental health crisis and deeper philosophical questions surrounding life, happiness, and human consciousness.

    Key Insights from Sadhguru:

    The Illusion of Wealth and Happiness

    • Wealth vs. Happiness: Contrary to common belief, current generations are wealthier than ever, yet they experience unprecedented levels of unhappiness. Sadhguru emphasizes that true happiness does not stem from material possessions but from inner well-being.
    • Consciousness Shift: He underscores the need for humanity to become more conscious, as many individuals fail to recognize that their happiness hinges largely on their perception and inner state rather than external circumstances.

    The Mental Health Crisis

    • Upcoming Pandemic: Sadhguru warns of a future mental health pandemic, predicting an increase in suicides, particularly as societal pressures mount. He cites alarming statistics, such as more suicides in Japan during the pandemic than from COVID-19 itself.
    • Addressing Compulsiveness: He argues that much of human suffering originates from compulsive thoughts and behaviors, and that mastering these emotions is essential for mental well-being.

    The Nature of Human Existence

    • Deconstructing the Self: Sadhguru challenges listeners to reconsider their notions of the self, stating that identification with qualities and circumstances leads to suffering. He suggests that true freedom comes from detaching oneself from these identifiers.
    • Meaning of Life: Sadhguru posits that life has no inherent meaning; rather, meaning is a creation of the mind that often serves as an excuse for unhappiness.

    Practical Lessons for Everyday Life

    • Inner Engineering: Sadhguru advocates for the 'Inner Engineering' program, which he claims can help individuals reclaim control over their emotions and thought processes. A simple practice he describes takes 21 minutes and can transform one’s emotional landscape, promoting joy and peace.
    • Personal Governance: He encourages individuals to take responsibility for their states of mind and emotions, suggesting that joy should not depend on external validation but should be self-generated through awareness and practice.

    Addressing Trauma and Competition

    • Trauma as an Excuse: Sadhguru asserts that trauma should not be used as a lifelong crutch; the choice lies with the individual to either grow wiser or remain wounded.
    • Competition's Toll: He critiques the competitive nature of society, labeling it as a sickness that often leads to unhappiness rather than fulfillment.

    Bridging Gaps in Human Potential

    • Expanding Consciousness: Addressing the need for broader understanding, Sadhguru notes that humans typically utilize only one dimension of intelligence (the intellect) and emphasizes the importance of expanding consciousness for true fulfillment.
    • Role of Technology: He discusses how technology should facilitate human development rather than restrict it, encouraging a shift from survival to conscious living.

    Conclusion: The Path Forward

    • Breaking Patterns: Ultimately, Sadhguru’s message is about breaking free from habitual mental patterns and seeking a deeper connection with oneself and the world. By fostering awareness and practicing self-control, individuals can navigate their emotional landscapes effectively.
    • Blissed-Out Living: The goal, he contends, is to lead a life of bliss irrespective of external circumstances, reinforcing the idea that joy and fulfillment come from within.

    Takeaways

    • Recognize the illusion of happiness linked to external wealth.
    • Prepare for societal shifts in mental health awareness and prioritize conscious living.
    • Understand trauma as a choice rather than a permanent state.
    • Invest in practices that enhance emotional well-being and consciousness.

    Listeners are encouraged to explore Sadhguru's teachings and consider how they can apply these insights into their own lives to foster a deeper sense of peace and happiness.

    Moment 184: I Was Kidnapped Whilst Running The Entire Length Of Africa: Russ Cook

    Moment 184: I Was Kidnapped Whilst Running The Entire Length Of Africa: Russ Cook
    He became the first person to run the full length of Africa—10,000 miles in 352 days—but just after day 100, Russ Cook, aka the Hardest Geezer, faced the toughest challenge of his life. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, Russ found himself running through chaos, dodging violence, and literally outrunning men armed with machetes. With threats of kidnapping looming and his life on the line, he managed to escape and keep pushing forward. Months later, after enduring sandstorms in the Sahara, crossing rainforests, and navigating endless stretches of empty road, Russ finally completed his journey. Starting in Cape Agulhas, South Africa, and finishing in Tunisia, he covered the equivalent of 386 marathons. Throughout the journey, Russ faced life-threatening dangers—armed robberies, kidnappers, and harsh terrains. But the craziest part? After all those miles, he realised what he’d really been running from—and had to face it head on. His story isn’t just about running. It’s for anyone facing their fears, questioning their path, or trying to break free from what’s been holding them back—because that was him too. Russ unpacks all of this, and more, in his book HARDEST GEEZER: Mind Over Miles. Out now.

    Extended Moment: Guy Raz: Why 99% of Businesses Fail & This Secret Made Apple, Pixar, & Elon Musk Billions!
    In this moment, the host of ‘How I Built This’, discusses the lessons he has learned from interviewing over 20,000 people, ranging from global CEO’s, superstars to rural shepherds in Afghanistan.   Guy has built his career on the idea that every business is a story, and this business must tell this story to itself and others. He believes that all successful founders share common traits and outlooks, such as: fearing the regret of not trying more than the fear of failure. Believing in their product so much that they have almost superhuman endurance, and continue despite multiple failures. Guy also says that the most successful founders often don’t do it alone and have a co-founder to help them withstand the highs and lows of entrepreneurship.

    Episode 14 - Creativity & Higher Consciousness w/ Special Guest Author Robert T. Norton

    Continuing our conversation from Episode 13 of the SHIFT, we'll dive deeper into channeling our creativity as a vehicle for healing and expanding our consciousness; deepening our connection with Soul, opening up our path to Self-Actualization.

     

    Curiosity and creativity leads to awareness; awareness leads to possibility; and possibility leads to choice. 

     

    This is where the SHIFT begins!

     

    We'll continue discussing:

    • "The Flow State" - being internally guided, from our intuition.
    • Allowing ourselves to be present; to choose compassion over judgement from our ego state.
    • The Watching Place, trusting the internal guidance and how we can be in that higher place of consciousness through our creativity, and bringing a deeper self-awareness.  

     

    Going inward, connecting deeper through our creative gifts allows us to nurture relationship with Self, which ultimately benefits all beings.  

     

     

    Join us for this episode of the SHIFT where we welcome back our special guest, Author Robert T. Norton as he shares wisdoms from his personal exploration into creativity - the journey of the creative process, the epiphanies along the way, and how he is inspiring others to expand their own creative expression.

     

    Creativity is a healer, a perspective shifter, a liberator and a portal to channel our own intuition and allowing our soul's unique expression, and through process that we expand our consciousness.

     

    The SHIFT starts now!  Let’s do this together!

     

     

     

     

    On the SHIFT, we use multiple perspectives to effect positive change within ourselves and our communities.  We create a reframe on traditionally accepted norms to generate personal freedom, empowerment, self-love and self-care.  We discover new wisdom and learnings by stretching our existing understanding of social protocols, health and spiritual practices, personal belief systems, celebrations and cultural influences.

     

    Viewing life through multiple perspectives helps us find new tools and teachings that can support us in healing, in understanding ourselves better, and realizing the potential in our self-actualization. As we journey through perspective, we learn ways to reclaim our power from where we have historically given it away.

    Integrating Science and Contemplative Practice | Philosophy of Meditation #7 with Mark Miller

    Integrating Science and Contemplative Practice | Philosophy of Meditation #7 with Mark Miller

    In this episode of Voices with Vervaeke, philosopher and cognitive scientist Mark Miller joins John Vervaeke and Rick Repetti for a fascinating discussion on the connections between philosophy, science, and contemplative practice. Mark provides insight into his work as a 'synthetic philosopher', integrating diverse fields like neuroscience and Buddhism to create theoretical frameworks for understanding the mind and contemplation. The conversation explores whether there can or should be a 'philosophy of meditation', and how science and philosophy might contribute to human flourishing and contemplative development. Mark shares rich examples of how computational models and cognitive science can elucidate contemplative skills and states, providing nuance to traditional teachings. He emphasizes the importance of balance between insight practices and compassion cultivation on the contemplative path.

     

    Mark Miller, a philosopher and cognitive scientist, holds a senior research fellowship at Monash University's Center for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies in Australia, with affiliations at the University of Toronto and Hokkaido University in Japan. His work, which delves into the interplay between human thought, technology's impact on well-being, and human-computer interaction, is at the forefront of integrating cognitive neuroscience with philosophical inquiry.

    Quotes

     

    “Meditation is philosophy. It's not about relaxing, and it's certainly not about just creating weird psychedelic states so that we can blow our minds and talk about it. Meditation is a way of knowing ourselves, knowing our situation, and then flourishing through that special knowing.” - Mark Miller [00:16:42]

     

    "Don't under appreciate the value of love for your training. If you're listening to this, and you're contemplative, and you're tuning in now to help your practice, don't overlook it. It's valuable at the beginning, in the middle, in the end - like even a small amount of loving kindness and kindness practice now is going to make all the difference." - Mark Miller [00:56:00]

    Confronting the Fear of Intimacy: Understanding the Link to Feeling Unwanted

    Confronting the Fear of Intimacy: Understanding the Link to Feeling Unwanted

    The ability to develop intimacy within relationships is directly tied to how well you were able to attach to those who raised you. The quality of the bond to those you love matters and is the blueprint for all future relationships, including the one you have with your inner self. All humans develop a false self, the one they believe is who they indeed are, until their consciousness expands and they being to question this inner voice and wonder from where it truly comes. 

    How you feel about yourself may be the result of unhealed wounds as well as a lack of personal insight as to who you are in regards to your innate worth and divine essence. Feeling unworthy and needing to care for others are signs you were raised to worry more about others and how they felt about you than how you feel about yourself.

    Welcome to the magical world of healing and transformation, as Lisa A. Romano helps us to better understand ourselves from a higher state of consciousness, beyond judgment, fear, or criticism. Here, you will learn to understand yourself, and in that new expanded space of self awareness, you will give birth to choice.  You are not your thoughts, emotions, past, trauma, memories or patterns. You are a facet of the divine, and until you know that, you believe what your brain and emotions tell you. 

    If you are ready to work with Lisa and to become part of a incredible, conscious community of those who are ready to heal their lives by transforming their consciousness, visit;
