Welcome to Commune, a global wellness community and online course platform featuring some of the world's greatest teachers.

We're on a mission to inspire, heal, pass down wisdom, and bring the world closer together.

This is the Commune podcast, where each week we explore the ideas and

practices that help us live healthy, connected, and purpose-filled lives. You can learn more about

our courses, our community, and everything we do at OneCommune.com. For you regular listeners,

you may have noticed that I am not your usual sonorous host, Jeff Krasno.

I'm Jake Laub, a fellow co-founder of Commune, and Jeff is taking a break from recording for a week, but he will be back quite soon.

In the meantime, I have the pleasure of introducing you to an excerpt from one of our newest courses in Commune membership.

For those of you who are not familiar, commune's monthly membership includes more than 80 courses

covering a wide spectrum of topics related to personal and societal well-being,

from personal development, meditation, and spirituality, to functional medicine, permaculture,

and social activism. Members can watch full courses on our website and in the commune app,

but we've also been enjoying sharing a few lessons here on the podcast. So today's episode is an

excerpt from Sad Guru's Commune course, Wisdom of the Mystic,

which is filled with Sad Guru's insights on joy, suffering, and the full spectrum of the human experience.

You can enjoy this program free for five days at onecommun.com slash wisdom.

That's onecommun.com slash wisdom to try this course for free for five days.

This particular lesson digs into the realm of our deepest insecurities. We live every day as if we are

going to live forever, but the truth is we are mortal. And as Sad Guru explains, if you really come to accept your mortality, your

insecurity will simply vanish. So I hope you enjoy this lesson with Sad Guru. Life is insecure.

There is no security about life because...

Shall I reveal a secret to you?
