Sam recently joined author and publisher Tami Simon on her podcast, Insights at the Edge. They discuss Sam’s definition of awakening, his years of study across East Asia, and how meditation has changed him; the hard problem of consciousness; the question of telepathy and other psychic phenomena; Douglas Harding’s exercises; the physiology of anger and anxiety; the relationship between ethics and selflessness; secrecy around certain Dzogchen teachings; misconceptions about spiritual progress; the utility of regret; the importance of self-compassion; and other topics.
