I hope that lands because, you know, I've been around a lot of well-educated people and a lot of practitioners, everything from former Mr. Olympias to Rick Rubin to David Cho.

I mean, we've... I mean...

Martha Beck, I mean, who has three degrees from Harvard, but talks about spiritual downloads.

And I have to say, I feel what's missing from health, public health, mental health, physical health, performance, broadly speaking, is this ability to understand how the ancient practices are really of benefit, where the neuroscience and other forms of science can explain it,

but also to acknowledge that even where we don't have mechanistic understanding, there's value in the practices.

I really believe that the healing that everyone wants so badly for themselves and for the world, I really believe that most people want that, resides in this business of going inward that we can only do for ourselves.

And seeing where our bullshit is,

burning it down and unlearning the stuff that makes us unkind to ourselves and others and unproductive.

You know, I think one of the dangers in discussions around yoga and these things is some people will think, okay, this is navel gazing.

This is all me stuff.

This is, you know, you just got to, you know, get out into the world and do stuff.

But when we hosted James Hollis, 84 year old Jungian analyst, he said, there are two things that are critical to a good life.

if I may, he said, every day you have to shut up.

These are his words.

He said, you got to shut up, meaning no whining, be grateful.

You need to suit up, meaning you need to prepare for your roles in life.

And then you need to show up to your roles in life.

But you also need to spend some time getting out of stimulus and response,

going inward and really touching in with what he called your genuine heart's desires.

And when he said that, I thought like, perfect.
