Sam Harris (@SamHarrisOrg) received a degree in
philosophy from Stanford University and a Ph.D in neuroscience
from UCLA. Sam is the host of the Waking Up podcast, and he is
the author of multiple books including The End of Faith,
Letter to a Christian Nation, The Moral Landscape, Free Will,
Lying, Waking Up, and Islam and the Future of Tolerance (with
Maajid Nawaz).
This experimental episode came about because a few months back
Sam asked me to be a beta tester for his Waking
Up meditation app that he was creating at the time. It was
recently released, and I highly recommend it. I anticipated it
would be good because Sam's work is always good, and he's one of
those rare humans who seems to think and speak in finished prose,
and he has a voice that can very easily lull you into a
semi-psychedelic state while you are completely sober. You'll
hear what I mean soon.
Sam has a unique combination of experiences and areas of
expertise, and his approach is that of a logical progression of
layering on different types of training for learning the skill of
meditation. In this episode, Sam will discuss his experiences
with MDMA, his spiritual exploration, contact with so-called
gurus, duality versus non-duality, and lots more. If you want to
dive right into a beginner level guided meditation, skip to
[52:32].
Make sure to check out the bonus episode that is released at the
same time as this one if you enjoy what you find here and want to
jump straight to the guided meditations. The bonus episode also
features additional content from Sam not found in the longer
episode. Enjoy!
