    E122 - John Vervaeke: The Path To Wisdom: Where Philosophy, Cognitive Psychology & Buddhism Align

    John Vervaeke delves into the concept of the meaning crisis facing our planet and explores how we can cultivate lives filled with purpose and wisdom. He shares his personal journey through a meaning crisis and reflects on how Socratic wisdom has shaped his understanding. 

    As he examines the broader implications of our current societal struggles, John highlights the main contributors to this, drawing parallels between modern times and historic civilizations and examining  four essential aspects that define meaning in our lives. 

    He addresses the impacts of scarcity mentality, technology, and loneliness, while offering insights into the contemplation of death and the fear of the unknown. The conversation also touches on the four types of knowing, the existential significance of love, and the process of relevance realization, which frames our perception of reality. 

    Ultimately, he presents a vision for humanity's future in the aftermath of the meaning crisis, contemplating the inevitability of suffering and drawing wisdom from great philosophers throughout history.

    From an early age Rupert Spira was deeply interested in the nature of reality. At the age of seventeen he learnt to meditate, and began a twenty-year period of study and practice in the classical Advaita Vedanta tradition under the guidance of Dr. Francis Roles and Shantananda Saraswati, the Shankaracharya of the north of India. During this time he immersed himself in the teachings of P. D. Ouspensky, Krishnamurti, Rumi, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta and Robert Adams, until he met his teacher, Francis Lucille, in 1997. Francis introduced Rupert to the Direct Path teachings of Atmananda Krishna Menon, the Tantric tradition of Kashmir Shaivism (which he had received from his teacher, Jean Klein), and, more importantly, directly indicated to him the true nature of experience. Rupert lives in the UK and holds regular meetings and retreats in Europe and the USA.

    E118 - Aaron Doughty: Classified CIA Gateway Process REVEALED: Raise Vibration & Shift Realities

    Aaron Doughty returns to Know Thyself this week for an intriguing conversation around the CIA Gateway Process: a formula for raising your consciousness and creating your dream life. He discusses how this hidden information came to him and how, by practicing it, everything changed.

    He explains Reality Transurfing, a fascinating view on reality and how to attune to the frequency of your desires. He also unpacks the philosophy of 'pendulums' as they relate to the division in our collective consciousness.

    Within these turbulent times, he describes how to cleanse your energetic field, outgrow old identities that are holding you back, and develop trust with life.

    ___________


    Aaron Doughty is a spiritual teacher and YouTuber, with a community of over 1.5 million subscribers, aimed at supporting people to expand their consciousness. He went through a spiritual awakening in 2012 that changed his life. That propelled a journey of self-discovery of reading 100’s of books, listening to seminars and going within to look for the answers. Through that journey he let go of my painful past, dropped labels that didn’t serve, and become FREE of much of the autopilot beliefs he was operating from. From that point on, he has felt it's his mission to empower other people to know that they are high vibrational beings that can become FREE of the past pain and past negative experiences. He believes his life purpose is to raise his vibration and level of consciousness and to help others do it too. He believes that deep down, you are also on a journey of raising your vibration and that as you do, it changes the world.

    E117 - Marc Gafni: Decoding The Kabbalah Tree Of Life: Realize Your Unique Self & Unleash Eros

    This week we explore the depths of Kabbalah, unique self, and Eros with renowned philosopher Marc Gafni. He begins by defining the foundational concepts of Kabbalah, setting the stage for an exploration of the interplay between masculine and feminine energies that shape our reality. He introduces the profound symbol of the Tree of Life and its relevance to personal mastery. As he describes each piece of the 11 stories in the Tree of Life, the discussion unfolds to encompass the realms of imagination, understanding, and the balance between love and boundaries, highlighting the beauty of contradictions and the coexistence of joy amidst life's challenges.

    He then describes the concept of unique self, an understanding of self that transcends the misconceptions of both Western and Eastern traditions.

    As the episode progresses, we delve into how Eros can serve as a portal to deepening intimacy, and ultimately heal our disconnected world.
