John TheoriaHOST

You're kind of referring to some of the Eastern philosophy that you started living, right? Can we talk about that for my listeners? And for me personally, I don't really know what that is.
John TheoriaHOST
13:29
I've heard the term before.
John TheoriaHOST

It says, Street Doll Amusings of an Angry Buddha cuts through the noise of modern spirituality with raw, unfiltered insight.
Susan DownsHOST

So, uh, you know, 'cause what did the Buddhists say? Dukkha, attachment brings pain, desire brings suffering, and I hear you talk about things being transient.

So how do you approach the brain and these issues?
Tom DaviesGUEST
27:04
So I suppose the first level is one which a lot of Westerners are familiar with.
Tom DaviesGUEST
27:12
And I guess I call that kind of basic Eastern philosophy, which is in keeping with our current Western ideas.
Tom DaviesGUEST
27:23
So I think the West is, as I said, good at treating the symptoms and to some extent helps us reduce self-obsession.
Alain de BottonGUEST

And then, you know, you turn to the East.
Alain de BottonGUEST

VeeHOST

And when I just attended your multiple orgasms workshop with Topfloor, you said something at the beginning which was like, "I like the meeting of like the Eastern philosophy and Western science." Can you talk a little bit about that? Because that really resonated with me.
VeeHOST
2:12
I'm like, I think, I think I like that too.
VeeHOST
2:15
'Cause when I go to a workshop, I love like all the nuggets you give and like the tutorials and like, um, diagrams that you'll show in addition to like the more like tantric energy stuff, you know? [laughs]
