Waking Up: Exploring Spirituality Without Religion. PART 2

In this episode, we delve into Sam Harris’s book Waking Up, which offers a rational approach to spirituality, free from religious dogma. Harris challenges the conventional sense of self, presenting it as an illusion—a concept supported by introspection and neuroscience. We explore his examination of consciousness and its connection to morality and values, as well as his critical analysis of traditional spiritual practices. Harris also discusses near-death experiences, the role of psychedelics, and the dynamics of guru-student relationships in the quest for self-transcendence. Join us as we unpack Harris’s advocacy for a rational, evidence-based approach to spirituality, and consider how his insights can influence our understanding of the mind and the pursuit of well-being.
