Psychologist, author, and long-time Tibetan Buddhist, Dr. Miles Neale returns!
*Check out the full video version of this mind meld here*
In this one, we muse about lost ancient knowledge, whether or not we're heading toward mass awakening or delusion, and Miles' painful decision to put his spiritual life first (which involved moving his family to the other side of the world). We also riff on the importance of Carl Jung, Tibetan Buddhism, trusting psyche, and much more.

1:11.7 | Welcome back to the transmission, my friends. The mystery always seems to loom large in life, |
1:19.7 | at least for wonder-dipping weirdos like us. I mean, even when I'm standing in line at the post |
1:25.3 | office, I'm thinking about it, or something ridiculous like what it smelled like in Plato's |
1:33.6 | Academy, or whether or not the Buddha ever smoked weed considering it was apparently ubiquitous, |
1:40.5 | and widely done where he grew up. But anyway, there does come a time where it goes from fascination |

1:55.2 | dalliances to really committing, really throwing a ring on the Mysterium Tremendum, |
2:01.9 | diving into a real practice. But what that inward turn toward mystery actually looks like is never |
2:10.0 | straightforward. How you even do it is incredibly personal, nebulous, and anything but clear. |
2:18.4 | And that's one of the reasons I love riffing with my friend, mythopoetic psychologist, |
2:24.0 | Dr. Miles Neal. He's been on the show numerous times, though this is his first time in the YouTube |
