That is one of the biggest problems with society today. everyone lies for whatever reason? however I don't lie much but my reason is different than most people. it's because I'm not very good at it.
Swami Vivekananda said "Religion is Realization." Sam Harris had the fortune to spend time with the great Advaitin H.W.L. Poonja and was given the opportunity for Enlightenment but he rejected it because of his prejudices. If you are interested in spirituality go to Ramakrishna, Shirdi Sai Baba, Upasani Baba, Papa Swami Ramdas, Mata Amritanandamayi, Sri Karunamayi, Anandamayi Ma or Meher Baba. It should be taught to children that St. Nicholas is Santa Claus, that Christmas is about Jesus and the Saints.
A Swami is a monk. Swami Vivekananda was a genius who spoke at Harvard and the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago. He was a philosopher-saint who impacted Hinduism in a major way and revealed the basic consciousness underlying all religions. He also laid the groundwork for India's independence. Please read "Guru to the World: the Life and Legacy of Vivekananda" by eminent scholar Ruth Harris.
@@VedantaKesari A monk is a bullshitter who asks hard working people for handouts. There is no difference to a panhandler except for the Nigerian Prince scam that the monk uses in addition to make himself feel better about being a panhandler. ;-)
This is interesting. I have only one question. Did he become awakened or did Sam become Conscious? I'll listen again since I recall nothing about Consciousness. This is a good door opener, though.
Spiritually is a loaded term, only to those who do not understand *The Science of Consciousness,* for everything is Consciousness made visible through the extremely limited senses of the physical body...
Great discussion. I just dont understand why mindfulness is being treated like the end goal of meditation. I think this robs people of all the other benefits that lie beyond mindfullness, including also restraining the left hemisphere from bull crap chatter😂 i have been saying for a long time now that the best scientists to investigate meditation are those that practice meditation.
Why does the experience you describe have to be called spiritual? Why can’t it be called experiences of awe while still keeping within the boundaries of natural science? Spirituality will always be directly connected to the woo woo in an attempt to describe powerful individual experiences. Using the word in a world so impacted by make believe thinking is not at all helpful.
I understand what you're saying. I thought similarly until I stumbled onto Rudolf Steiner. He writes about those mysterious, unexplainable, fortuitous glimmerings of spiritual happenings. Try "Mind Body Spirit." Steiner is also controversial and most of his writings on YT are difficult to get through. He convinced me that we can connect with a spirit realm if we are intuitive and pay attention. I ignore whatever he writes about religion. His school is Anthroposophy.
@@bellakrinkle9381 I’m sure the words are well written but the word is still unnecessary. Calling something spiritual doesn’t make it lift off the ground of logic and reason. It’s just another way of describing the same experience I and others have that are powerfully meaningful. These experiences need not be muddied with words as imprecise as ‘spiritual’, especially when it’s tied to the very belief that is the cause for so much confusion and suffering.

Love Sam Harris! I heard your philosophy on golf and bowling and it's by far the worst philosophy I've ever heard. Walk off the course because you got a whole in one? Stop bowling because you bowled your best score? You are eliminating by success and likes. What is that? Quitting is a form of celebration for you?

@@brokenrecord3523the foundation that is religio/religion is the basic, inherent, logical and inevitable human aspiration to uncover what binds/links ("religio ") life, individulas and groups.
@@brokenrecord3523 I disagree with his claim he knows everything in the Universe. He rejects the possibility that there are beings more advanced than humans. .

I disagree his claim that the recorded experiences of humans for five thousand years history, from the four corners of this planet that report they encountered a divine being are delusions.

Sam claims there are no other beings i.e divine beings. So how many dimensions are there? Sam does not know. Do other dimensions have beings more intelligent than humans? Sam does not know. Are these beings a fourth, fifth or ten dimension beings? Sam does not know. Whereas humans have reported seeing advanced brings from the four corners of this planet for fife thousand years of human written history, and these beings have similar attributes to one another are these reports true?

How well do you know him? How much time have you actually spent with him. Because I hear loads of people speak, and I don't jack about them.
