Know Thyself

In our society when rates of mental and physical illness are on the rise, despite advanced modern medicine, we must look within to ask where we are going wrong. Dr. Gabor Maté is back on The Know Thyself Podcast today, for a deep dive into his analysis of our toxic culture, and how we can heal by finding our true, authentic selves.

He explains how to transcend the hypnotic passivity that we have fallen into, and begin to take our health (mental and physical) into our own hands. He explains generational trauma, ignorance in the medical system, and how the coping mechanisms we develop as children lead to detrimental subconscious patterns. He also explains overcoming addiction, emotional awareness, and whether he believes there is a 'divine design' in all our wounding.

E129 - Know Your True Nature & Unlock Your Purpose in 2025 (Know Thyself Best Moments)

Scientist Gregg Braden is back on Know Thyself today for a deeper dive into the inherent beauty of humanity and the technology that threatens it. Pulling on the threads of our last conversations, Gregg opens up about the current state of the world: from transhumanism to artificial intelligence, giving a warning message about these innovations. He provides a reframe on what we’ve been told about human potential: revealing that we are far greater than we know and these technologies threaten that very greatness. 

Our discussion encompasses a range of critical topics, including the ongoing struggle between good and evil on Earth, the pivotal Year 2030, and the Future of Humanity. Furthermore, Gregg draws intriguing parallels to popular culture, exploring how films like "The Matrix" serve as allegories for deeper truths about our reality, prompting us to question the nature of existence itself.

E133 - Azrya Bequer: Transform Pain into Purpose & Grief into Gold

In the modern age, we have access to unlimited information at our fingertips. However if we do not take advantage of this gift, it will become our curse. We can harness the potential of all of this available knowledge to wake up to our own light or let the darkness of ignorance continue to run the show. Most people are sleepwalking through life, chained to their perceived limitations and inevitably miss the bliss of what it means to be human.

 

The Know Thyself Podcast is a place to dive into the perennial questions of life, and in doing so, reveal ancient wisdom applicable for these modern times. Each week the host André Duqum connects with various teachers, spiritual leaders, doctors, heart-led creators and storytellers on topics such as the true nature of ‘Self’, consciousness, philosophy, health optimization, and personal growth.

 

These conversations are aimed at supporting individuals on their awakening journey, how to reduce human suffering and providing actionable tips for experiencing a truly liberated and fulfilling life.
