    This quote from Sam around 3:48:00 is so well-said:
    "I think what we want is a circumstance where attention can be located in the present in a way that's truly fulfilling. And unless you have had some kind of radical insight that allows you to do that on demand, you are in some sense hostage to the circumstances of your life to do that for you. You're constantly trying to engineer a state of the world that will propagate back on a state of self that will make the present moment good enough."

      That's why if you have a hobby "you love to do", and you don't need others for doing it, you win. It could be sport, drugs, music, art in general, beeing in constant survival mode etc. As long as it doesn't kill you too fast ... :)) You don't want to be 100% dependent on people, events or things at the end of the day. This is a real nightmare.

      That's why I stopped doing what I learned on The Power of Now. It is something quite beautiful and peaceful and you reach the now, but it's goddamn stressful to know about it and spend your time everyday trying to be in the Now. It's like we're rigged to not be there and this brings resentment. And no one managed explain why that is.

      @@danimal519 I think I understand what you're saying, but you don't want to be a living zombie just to avoid some pain in your life is my answer to you - "letting go of illusion of self". There is no joy without state of the opposite - pain, suffering, so "a little down is nesesary to be "up". But I was talking about "having something that you like to do" where time stops. It could be a few things at the same time, music, movies, playing an instrument, riding books etc. If you're 100% free than that = dead. Dead you're free 100%. The best advice to give someone who thinks he's suffering is to have one moment in his life when he really suffered a lot, like from 1 to 10 a 10, so when the so called bad moment comes, you go to that place every time and you just laugh at your suffering today ... Yes, lett go, but lett go in a sence that you don't care what happens next, not in a sence that you train yourself to be a living zombie.

    Takeaway:
    1. Meditation can help individuals recognize the illusion of the self and discover a deeper understanding of the relationship between the mind and body.
    2. Practicing mindfulness can increase one's frame rate of time perception and lead to equanimity and relief from suffering.
    3. Meditation involves ceasing to do something in order to recognize consciousness without the automatic arising of thought.
    By becoming aware of reactions and not identifying with any particular self-concept, individuals can develop a sense of psychological integrity that is not dependent on external factors.
    4. Recognizing the non-selfhood of consciousness and detaching from the constraints of the ego can lead to a realization of freedom and selflessness through meditation.
    5. Deleting Twitter can lead to a less cluttered and noisy life that feels better.

I have tried medications in the past and they did work but had pretty bad side effects and I was concerned about long term use. I switched to meditation and practice around 15-30 mins a day and have slowly, over the course of years, brought the meditation from the few moments sitting to other areas of my life. Along with that, prioritizing my sleep and completely removing social media were some of the biggest improvements in my ADHD I had ever seen - I feel better now than I did when medicated. It certainly took a lot of time and patience, but it did work for me. It might not work for everyone, but it's certainly a useful tool for improving regardless.

    Also, something that doesn't get talked about often in the West when it comes to using meditation as a tool for focus is the duration of your session: while a 12-15 minute session will often produce a lot of wonderful benefits, most experienced meditators can tell you that there is a progressive intensification of focus that occurs over a longer session (45-60 minutes). That can seem like a long time, but often people get underwhelming or inconsistent results from shorter meditations and so they give up, thinking that meditation is not for them. That's analogous to going to the gym and doing 2-3 sets, experiencing underwhelming results and then thinking the gym is not for you.
    The deeper results in fitness or meditation alike are usually on the other side of expanding your comfort zone; so for those interested, I definitely suggest doing a longer session once or twice a week, with your eyes open on a spot in front of you and sitting upright (as these adjustments will combat the frequent "I fall asleep when I meditate for more than a few minutes" effect many people experience), and noticing how you can cultivate what will often be a profoundly deeper state of focus and flow once you've given yourself more time to ease into it and progressively intensify your focus. Thank you, Dr. Huberman and Dr. Harris for sharing these tools!

      Hey Gilbo! Do you mind sharing your experiences and insights after meditating for 8 years? I have recently adopted an extensive meditation practice using the Waking Up app. I've only been practicing for two months, but my life has completely changed. I have begun to notice fleeting thoughts appearing in consciousness that I would have previously attached to. Instead, I feel a sense of equanimity knowing that if I'm just aware of these thoughts, feelings, and emotions, I will be closer to experiencing consciousness without a filter.
      Now, I am more in tune with the nature of my mind, but I'm noticing this deep feeling of curiosity that wants to know more about myself and others. Meditation really is an amazing skill to learn, and I find myself wanting to look deeper and deeper within to unravel the layers of the self. I can only imagine what years of extensive practice may feel like. I plan to get there myself, knowing full well that I'm already there; I just need to look deeper.

    • @gilbogabbins5076
      @gilbogabbins5076 Рік тому +12

      @Aiden Yoshida I think that life has not changed, but your perspective on it has. There is very little I can explain to you about meditation, it means different things to different people depending on where you are in life, and it can change from moment to moment, day to day, year to year. You have to drink the water yourself to quench your thirst, I cannot do it for you.
      The best advice I can give is not to look for anything in particular. Just observe. I sit 10 day silent vipassana courses in the tradition of s.n. goenka, and I would advise everyone to try this at least once in their life, if they are able to.
      I was a very angry man when I started, so very confused about existence and full of self-loathing. I have so much peace in my heart and clarity in my mind now. There is still a long path to walk, but each day, I'm taking steps. All the best to you on the path

    Best Huberman podcast yet! Two great minds in an in-depth discussion on what I believe to be the most important topics to humanity. The one area that I felt Andrew was lacking in experience was so called “awakening”. Sam, IMHO, Is the best speaker on this subject. He is the superbly skilled at describing awakening in intellectual terms… extremely difficult because it is a process largely outside the bounds of the intellect. Andrew is the perfect interviewer for Sam. I feel he is Sams equal intellectually, yet genuinely open and deeply interested in broadening his understanding of a subject that often alienates intellectual types. I look forward to seeing where Andrew’s journey takes him going forward.

    If I don't then I'll find myself ruminating and then realising 10-15 minutes of the podcast have gone by without me listening to any of it, the sounds of their voices just fade into the background as my thoughts on what was just said take the spotlight.
    Additionally, every time I feel as though I have wrapped my head around the idea, it slips away from me and I am thrown back into the thought loop where I'm chasing the nugget and its meaning once again.

      I've been waiting for this podcast, but I saw the day it came out, 9 days ago, and I just put it off.
      Andrew Huberman and his dad are huge fans of Sam Harris for meditation, especially since he explains on how it's beyond some medical benefits.
      Plenty of people in Andrew's team, Andrew, and his dad have the Waking Up app.
      I've used that app some years ago, before it got the many updates it's had. It's a very nice app! I've though of paying for it before. The scientific, non-religious deep analysis of meditation and many ways to do meditation are provided in the app too.
      Dr. Sam Harris, a scientist who's Jewish too, but is like many of us Jewish related people, non-religious from going over the religious claims and reality (the most non-religious culture to exist right now), and questions a lot of stuff. He's also an excellent debater against religion and stuff in general. He challenged Jordan Peterson very well with an audience present physcially. He kinda has some idea of a soul existing, from meditation, and from experimenting in psychedelics.
      He's been a tremendous critique of religion. However, of course, plenty of Far-Left don't like him because they will say Islamaphobic, regardless that Islam is very LGBTphobic, many of them are Christianphobic, soulphobic, etc.
      It's a great discussion! I love these 4+ hour podcasts. It's a great way to thoroughly go over a topic. I'm able to talk a lot too, and to write a lot too. People who talk a lot don't need to be considered as mentally disturbed, as some love to state people who rant or talk often have mental issues.
      Many people have low attention spans and dopamine overload. To scroll TikTok especially, but any social media, you keep content switching, and it's like watching a bunch of movies in some minutes. That will severely exhaust people alone, so much content switching.
      Andrew Huberman has said before on a doctor's podcast that mental issues, and many suicides too, usually take place because of lack of sleep.
      Many mental issue cases are just a lack of sleep, especially blatant in the modern day status quo of wage slaves and materialisation obsession.

    What a fantastic talk. Love listening to everything both these guys discuss. When Sam mentioned the Vipassana experience this is exactly what I experienced when I did an intensive Vipassana retreat years ago - your whole concept of physical being just dissolves into a sea of ever changing sensations. It was both fascinating and terrifying for me. I did the retreat to cope with a chronic pain condition and it totally changed my relationship to the pain - I realised objectively the pain sensation itself wasn't what was ruining my life, but it was actually my subjective emotional hangups / internal chattet I associated with the pain ("why me", "it's never going to go away", " I hate it so much", it hurts so much", it's ruined my life", etc.) that was really the crux of my distress.
    Also, when I finished the retreat and tried to go back into the real world I experienced the significant ramping up of the visual / auditory / tactile perception frame rate these guys discussed, to the point where it was overwhelming and distressing for about a week until my perceptive frame rate normalised again

    Awesome interview! Thank you to Sam and Andrew. I love the way Sam distills meditation and the buddhist philosophy from which mindfulness stems, in a practical clear way. For meditation practice to flourish, formal sitting and everyday life have to evolve into an integrated whole, supporting each other. This is what Sam talked about. The true challenge for most meditators is the ability to maintain the presence of mindfulness, regardless of what needs to be done. It's being able to stay present, open, relaxed, focused. I personally like to do a formal practice each day. It helps me set the tone for the rest of my waking hours.

    Probably the most impaction guest I've ever seen hosted here. My own experience with meditation mirrors Sam's and I see him struggle to frame it over and over in this talk. In the end though, it's unframable, and escapes description. It's like trying to describe a difficult struggle up a mountain or the experience of your kids being born, you are left with the knowledge in your bones that you were a different person before and after those events but good luck describing them without feeling like no description does it justice. Sam struggles to do the description justice but language can only convey so much, which is both frustrating and beautiful.

    I can't believe we are talking about the affects of Dzogchen/Mahamudra etc on a major science channel like this, thank you both! I can add my subjective suffering is massively reduced when I do 'see' there is no self as Sam describes. To my complete surprise the feeling of me sometimes dissolves and in it's place love arises (sorry if this sounds hippy, it's just what happens). For anyone looking to know more about this approach I recommend Loch Kelly's book on audio 'shift into freedom', it has meditations in it (short) so I think is best as an audiobook. One other strange thing to note, in the non-dual approach often the effects 'linger', ie. the first time it worked for me the self did not come back online fully for 24 hours, and I felt more free, happier, present, in-flow etc.

    Thank you Andrew for getting Sam on your podcast. What a fascinating conversation. Absolutely loved it. The waking up app has been an invaluable tool in my journey to explore meditation. Huberman lab podcast is one of the best things to watch on You Tube. It is so much more fun than to just listen on my phone. It would be great if Making Sense was also on UA-cam!

    I kept wanting to screen record clips to send to family/friends and then it just kept getting better. Sam has a way to take me on a journey with his precise language that really resonates. So much to think about (and I’m aware that I’m thinking!!)

    Andrew seems to be committing to something a lot of us have asked:interviewing other Stanford people like Attia & Harris,& now he’s done both.❤Thank you lots Andrew. To the commenters,any other Stanford health guys he hasn’t interviewed yet you think are deserving?

    I listened to this episode on Spotify, but I had to come here to say that I'm so happy to learn that Dr. Huberman took a stand for the animals and decided to experiment strictly on consenting humans and will ne be experimenting nor supports animal lab testing.

    Funny how these podcasts are progressively getting longer and longer - don't think a 90 minute Huberman podcast can be a thing 😄
    All for it though. Thank you for consistently bringing us such rich and informative content, Andrew 🙏

    I have been listening to making sense for several years, and to this podcast for maybe a couple. They are both very useful in mostly different ways to me . I occasionally thought about these men having a conversation, but decided they would likely be on different pages.
    A couple hours in, I switched from Spotify to UA-cam, and was pleased to watch the two minds make a connection. I have trouble with some of Sam's concepts on consciousness, though he makes it very accessible. But watching Andrew use his super brain to slowly break out of it's constraints, mentioning things like his love of animals was really great.

    Going from Jocko Willink to Sam Harris is huge step down in quality. Sam is a modernist repeater, eager to remain relevant while discrediting himself every time he talks candidly.

    The long awaited A. Huberman podcast with S. Harris is finally here wow! It's the literal intersection between hard science hard data and spirituality, or as uncle Jack likes to put it in layman term, "this is truly where the rubber meets the road ya'll!" Keep these coming guys!
