In This Interview, Dean Sluyter and I Discuss…
- His book, Fear Less: Living Beyond Fear, Anxiety, Anger, and Addiction
- Right View and how it relates to having less fear in your life
- How right view is always liberating
- Asking, “does it help?”
- “One mustn’t assume burdens that God doesn’t lay upon us. The state of worry is not itself meritorious.” CS Lewis
- The problem with trying to control your mind
- Transcendental Meditation
- Hanging out in tasklessness
- The open space of awareness
- How thought doesn’t have to go away in order to meditate
- Relax your grip, and relax back into yourself
- It doesn’t grip you, it has no power to do that. You grip it.

- Relax into it, stop the resistance of it
- Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional
- suffering = pain x resistance
