Face the world with a healthy bill of skepticism
In this reverse interview, Mindvalley founder and CEO, Vishen Lakhiani, is interviewed by Shaman Durek on the Ancient Wisdom podcast. Vishen and Shaman Durek explain how we’re living in an illusion and that the first step to becoming a master of life is understanding this false reality.
They break down some of the biggest lies in the modern world and explain how it is not about how we can escape it, but rather about growing our consciousness. They dive deep into the notion of time, the pressures of hard work and hustle, and the different levels of personal development.
Vishen and Shaman Durek discuss the relationship between science and spirituality, what it means to be a soul having a human experience and many other key ideas from some of the world’s foremost spiritual teachers.
My life is dedicated to spreading conscious practices and enlightened ideas across the world.
