The Metagame

#3 - Andrew Taggart | Practical Awakening


Listen Later

This conversation broke me open.

Andrew is a Practical Philosopher and Zen Buddhist who teaches people how to inquire into the things that matter most. This is a luminous, heartfelt journey about the deepest questions.

Topics include:

* why Andrew meditates for 6-10hrs a day

* the hard limits of philosophy

* what even is The Tao

* Andrew’s taxonomy for the different flavours of meditation

* misconceptions about the self and freewill

* why tantra isn’t about sexual gymnastics

* the fundamental reason why we all suffer (and what to do about it)

* why enlightened gurus still do bad things

* what it means to "open your heart"
