Mind, Brain, and Consciousness – Neurologist Steven Laureys in Conversation with Sadhguru

3:45 Are mind and the brain same ? 14:46 How could we test the yogic science that you just explained ? 20:26 Are you an organ donor ? 22:04 Brain, no matter how important, is not the whole thing. 27:22 I have a tough time to understand the concept of consciousness. 32:32 Why don't the scientists trust the experience of the meditators ? 38:11 Should there be a balance between science and spirituality ? 43:28 Should we make a differentiation between consciousness and wakefulness ? 51:31 Sadhguru's explanation on body, mind and consciousness. 58:36 1. Why can humans access consciousness and not animals ? 2. What happens before birth and after death ? 1:16:49 What determines how much life you have captured ? 1:21:29 Can meditation help us capture a bigger bubble of life ? 1:27:54 Can my patients who suffer from anxiety benefit from meditation ?

Steven is a real guy who is being honest. Sadhguru is so open and accepting. This is just awesome

steven seems a learning person, NALSAR university students should learn from him....

Such an amazing learner the neurologist is. What a calm, pleasing personality he has!! like an innocent child looking to learn everything.

When Sadhguru went into the Details of Japa-Tapa-Dharana-Dhyana-Samadhi.. I was like shivering & having goosebumps all over my body.. I mean how does he knows Everything.. I have heard these terms since my childhood but nobody could explain me what is the difference between them!!! Very lucky to have Sadhguru 🙏😍😭

Transforming millions of lives... I bow down to you Sadhguru.. 🙏🙏

Wonderful from Sadhguru. How simple things are, but so unseen by most.

Sadguru Thank you so much it worked! last night I went to sleep chanting to my self : "Im not my thaugts, Im not even my body". I woke in such a blissfull mood and I had a4 hours sleep without feeling tired at all! tomorrow I will rub my palms and place them on my eyes. תודה רבה אתה צדיק גדול

"This is a living consciousness.." I smiled when I heard that, I felt as if I was realizing something life changing, my heart feels joy and I don't feel alone.

Thank you Dr. Steven for letting Sadhguru speak and open up. Helped us learn a lot more too. ❤🤗🍁🍃

What i understand from all the talks of Sadhguru is this, he is always telling the people he is talking to is that they are doing up till now is good if it is adding the welfare of the world. But he has some tools that he wants to share the people he is talking to to make this world more wonderful for each and every being. Sadguru is always positive with his guest he in talk with, whether it is a scientist or normal audience like us. He only wants to the other person to understand that there is a way of living to our best and he has experienced it and want everyone to experience it so we can be our best version. I just respect him so much for always putting so much effort with everyone he is in conversation with, whether he has to face critisism and has to repeat everything again and again to make himself clear so that we all can just simply accept and thrive to do things which can help us not even him, but us to live a better life. I mean.. wow!

Also Watch Sadhguru's Interview with Neurologist "David Eagleman". This interview and that one are the 'Gems on Internet'.

Just wow. This conversation was so enlightening, especially from 1:16:49 with the question posed by Bala, "what determines how much life we capture?" This question parallels much of the information that Sadhguru speaks about in his new book, "Death", but this discussion really adds more meat to the bones to fully understand what it means to live a full-fledged life as Sadhguru so often says. We gather more life by simply being open to life; to experiencing the full spectrum of life; to tasting all the flavors that are here. In order to do this we must set aside likes/dislikes and learn to respond consciously instead of react unconsciously. This in turn, expands the karmic bubble and allows us to grow larger and larger until the inevitable 'pop' of transformation. Although our world is going through immense change at the moment, we are all profoundly blessed to be living at a time when such a powerful Master is embodied to not only teach but experientially light our way through our darkness. What a beautiful and profound dialogue between a scientist and a mystic. Thank you so much for organizing this talk and I hope to see plenty more.

This is one of the great conversations. Sadhguru and this neurologist must spend some time together to discuss more about it. I bow down to you Sadhguru 🙏 thank you for everything. 🙏

I spent 20 years in Laureys' world...denying what l felt was true. At 64, l lean more to the Sahdguru interpretation of what life is all about.

the neurologist seems very sympathetic. Nice conversation. Greetings from Vienna :)

I loved how open Mr. Laureys was to this whole new world that Sadhguru opened up for him.

What an amazing discussion. Sadhguru’s clarity is superb and the professor was very humble and wise as well.

Steven so Humble being a scientist.....and Sadhguru always funny and precise

Really nice to see Sadhguru being challenged! He handles it so well! An example for all of us!
