Talking points:
Any start is a good stepping stone
There’s no such thing as a good, or bad, meditation
Vedic meditation is designed for people who are busy
Living in the ‘now’
"Creation, maintenance and disillusion"
Of course, Alan Watts is referenced countless times
The difference between just 'being' and being a 'human being'
Technology; a friend and foe?
Breaking your own symmetry - and it’s not always pleasant
Sitting in the pain when things go wrong
Tell me what’s going on?
The balance between embracing money, how to let go, and not swaying into one more than the other
Let’s talk about needs, not wants.
1hr:04 mins - the ‘Now’ experiment
Not feeling whole and complete because of ‘time’
