For the 500th episode of the podcast, Mindrolling co-founder David Silver and old friend Danny Goldberg return!

In this special episode, the group reflects on the question, “Are we living in the darkest hour of a dark age?” and explores different sources of light that can guide us through the darkness.

In this episode, the group talks about:

• Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s belief that our era of human history is “the darkest hour of the Dark Ages”
• Looking towards spirituality and religion for the answers to humanity’s biggest problems
• Ram Dass and Alan Watts – and the theme of interconnectedness found at the heart of their teachings
• Politics, polarization and the manifestations of darkness that each generation must face

"I think we have to look towards spirituality and religion for the answers to try to mediate unbridled materialism, which we know is a death trap." - Danny Goldberg
