Duncan Trussell returns to Mindrolling to talk about transporting oneself out of the movie of me and into the movie of we.
“The point is, whenever you shift gears into that place, it’s like you’ve shifted the flow of energy. This thing you were talking about earlier, the self-cherishing, the self- obsession, it’s an energetic flow with all the arrows pointing back to you. If you get it going the other way, it’s its own kind of high.” – Duncan Trussell

“We have an ability to be honest with ourselves, tremendously honest with ourselves. So, all of the fakery, all of the stuff that has any vestiges of manipulation or rampant desire or pushing things away, whatever it may be, there is an honesty there to really understand the motivations and the pain and the suffering and not get lost in the fraud. Honesty allows you to not get lost in the fraudulent activity of the ego.” – Raghu Markus
