I went back and listened to the “experiencing self” vs the “remembering self” multiple times. It never occurred to me that fulfillment in life can come down to having a rich remembering self, and that this richness sometimes requires experiencing some pain, discomfort, or an effort of some kind. Wise words to live by.

I am not all the way through this yet, but if you are reading this comment, know that the value of this podcast is immense. Just the first 30 seconds alone where Charan explains how memories often cannot be trusted is an absolute game-changer. It is a direct path to the present moment - knowing that the past (even your own memories) may very well be an illusion. It helps you be here and now - allowing you to get the most out of each moment in life. Lex, thank you for your great work, and I’m glad you are back from your trip.

And I wouldn't say he has the innocence of naivety but he has the innocence of purity and goodness. He has great patience and judgment and is very slow to anger but when he is angry then you could bet that it is something that is very very very very bad and something the world needs to do something about. Although sometimes he could be wrong because he gets false information from other people when he does know the facts he chooses the right side every time no matter what or actually I should say you didn't choose sides he just States his beliefs

Samantha says "the past is just a story," she means that our memories of the past are like stories we make up in our minds. They're not always exactly what happened, but they're the way we remember them and tell them to ourselves. It's a reminder that our memories can be flexible and might not always be 100% accurate.😮

It's strange to really allow for, but I think it has something to do with how time is apparently just an illusion? Everything that has happened and will happen has technically all happened at once. When my Mother died 3.5 years ago, the night before I had this really strange experience where in the middle of driving down the road I was hit with the super strong urge to call my Mom. It felt very sad. This was less than 24 hours before she died. Now for reasons I won't go in to here I hadn't been speaking with her for about 4-5 months. As a result of this feeling I stopped what I was doing and went home with the intent to call her. I got home and I didn't call her. The next day I get the call that she had passed. Someone or something some how knew, myself maybe even, or she herself already from the other side tried to warn me. It's now one of my biggest regrets that I didn't call her and get to talk one last time. It's possible that had I called her, the series of events that let to her death may have been altered and she'd still be here. What or whom was warning me and trying to get me to call her the night before? Was it me already knowing what was going to happen? Similarly to your deja vu dreams?

For some reason I ran away from home when I was 3 or 4 - I can still remember it perfectly at 70. I wasn't unhappy, simply curious. My folks were distracted, so me and the dog ran out the door at sunset, me in my pajamas, the dog excited as could be. We wandered around the neighborhood 'till it got dark, and I was wandering along the main road with lots of traffic on it until my dad picked me up, very angry of course! Such a strange thing to do - I wasn't mad, just excited to be out exploring. Must have been a strange sight for people driving by! NB : Lex, I too have that problem remembering names, perfectly explained by your guest (what was his name again? 😊)

Everything he is saying is spot on. I would also strongly agree the self is a continuously evolving construct. I think this is one of the factors of regret because we are different version of us tomorrow then we are today, good or bad, that mind state or construct around who we are always gets altered making us very different person who we are today vs 20 years from now.

@sdvanon1285 21 күн бұрын

I realized many years ago that time is not linear in our experience of life. Past, present and future interact and effect each other. In the present, we are always recreating the past and creating/changing the future. A 'good' therapist can use this complex interaction to help a person; a 'bad' therapist can use this to manipulate a person (the classic example being false memory syndrome). Since we are not alone in the universe, our experience of past, present and future interacts with and is influenced by the experiences of others, individually and as groups. Humans are amazing because somehow we live together, and often achieve great things together, and manage to love, dance, cry, work, play together, even though our perceptions and experience of past, present and future (individually and as groups) are always changing.

I once heard David Wolpert refer to this as "retrodiction". We don't recall the past as a matter of fact, we retrodict the past. In other words, our minds retrodict the past just like we predict the future. The only difference is, we have far more information on hand when retrodicting the past.

"The self is an evolving construct." Yes. Yes yes yes. A thousand times over yes. And, importantly, the self is a very social entity that we are not accustomed to thinking of as social. Which made this conversation a great listen for me. As always, I find that many perceptions of the Buddhist approach to attachment, non-attachment, and their relationship to suffering are somewhat nihilistic as opposed to my lived experience, but I really appreciated how various ideas in here not only connected to my social psych education but also related to that foundational idea of interconnectedness I find in Buddhism. (World and drops of dew and all that rot.) Thank you, Lex. This was great.

Beautiful Lex! Yes, some memories will never fade 💕

@tonyhill2318 22 күн бұрын

Far more than a source of happiness, our memories are the source of misery, worry, and torment. We're incessantly run around and mentally controlled by it. Even remembering happy times is most often quickly followed by sadness of what's gone or how it all went wrong. Let's be honest with ourselves.

About Imagination vs Memory really clarified my thinking about hindsight. For a little while, I've been thinking that people punish themselves about not doing something in hindsight, but very often forget what reason they had had to do the action in the first place which could be perfectly reasonable. This could be a link to "remembering" the past being a hallucination (imagination) instead in which we omit the past mindset information. Journaling could really be powerful.

Dear Lex, I've been listening to your podcast on Spotify, normally I do it while exercising, and today, to my surprise, I watched this video also on Spotify and noticed your drink. So, yeah, nothing more to say, but I guess it's time for me to find another podcaster. But you're doing a good job.

Talk about bringing back memories. Lex mentions James Brown and Charan calls up the SNL hot tub skit with Eddie Murphey. HAven't thought about that in years.

@yvealeciasmith 13 күн бұрын

Such a fun conversation and interesting topic. Immediately wanted to be friends with Charan. Really compelling to think of how, through the mechanism of memory, the past becomes the future (until it doesn't). Also, I have a habit of choosing to do things that are absolutely a 'pain in the ass' in the moment for the sake of the memories, and my first thought when things go very wrong is 'ooh, this is gonna be a good story', so I shall skip away merrily with my validation, thank you very much!

Lex, the 5 o’clock shadow looks handsome on you 👌🏽 And I hope to one day have someone like you in my life 😊 Your morals and ethics are what I admire the most. Your characteristics as an individual, from what I have briefly seen on this channel, are exactly what a man can be defined as. A true gentleman. And I hope to one day have someone like you in my life.

Great conversation chaps, thank you. As far as i can prove-ably say; this is the very first time i've ever been alive, and like most things i try for the very first time, i often eff it up!....but if i were to give up and never try again, then that would be a really tragic loss of the Gift...and if i keep effin it up, then i'm not learning how to get through the first multi coloured layer that surrounds the Gift. Also, i had to remember and be patient and remind myself that each of the multi coloured layers was not the Gift. I hope everyone recognizes the Gift when they 'see' it. For me, the truth was that the Gift was always in my hands the whole time: CREATIVITY
