Ryan talks with John Bright a long-time practitioner and expert in the world of meditation and consciousness.
They discuss:
- What is consciousness?
- What does it mean to transcend?
- John noticed consistency among people he'd met who were highly creative. They all practiced meditation in some form in order to access higher consciousness.
- John shares about his own personal path to finding Transcendental Meditation (TM) and how that's impacted him.
- Mediation is now being seen as a practical tool for personal transformation and improving one's overall quality of life in many ways.
- What is left when we shed all of our roles, labels, judgments, etc. is our true essence.
- Our effort, intention, and analytical powers can get in the way of our experience.
