Robert Thurman always enlightens. Love his spirit. And his sense of humor. Anyone who can mention Abraham Lincoln and then the movie "Ghost" in the same paragraph has me smiling as he addresses inter-lifetime experience. Thanks Emmy for another insightful interview!

Wonderful! I don't know nearly enough about these traditions. I liked the part about the mother as the comforting and enveloping darkness, and the father as the awareness of continued existence. I found myself really engaged by all the imagery and examples. 1:15:06 And I really enjoyed this explanation.

What an excellent guest! Thank you for uploading this interview. IMO, I believe the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism (especially the nature of mind, dream yoga, and the death/rebirth process) will be invaluable once our collective society truly begins to engage with the emergence of AGI and the understanding of NHI/UAP phenomena. Critical steps in the evolution of our collective consciouness.

Can't believe we live in a time in which we can access a Bob Thurman/Buddha/Dalai Lama/ Mishlove/ Emmy talk without foot traveling, ship-sailing & climbing thousands of miles to hear the solid gold & diamond & tree- like, pure water teachings. I wanted to stop the video & mark down dozens of sentences. Will be grateful to hear it again. Thank yall so much! (Also, i keep playing old Sounds True audio cd's of Doc Thurman teaching on this topic... "Heyeee, Noble One!" Very hilarious & sobering & relieving. They helped me help my folks (& me) as they died, & they went right along with our Christian traditions.)

Yes! There are many gems in this one from Bob! I have re-listened a few times myself with new flashes of awareness. I love that part in "The Book of Natural Liberation" a.k.a. The Tibetan Book of the Dead when it says, "Hey, noble one!" So glad it's been helpful for you and your loved ones. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Loved this interview! I wish the whole world could hear these concepts. I especially loved Mr. Thurman’s idea that all world leaders be “beamed up” and and taken to a wellness center and shown the errors of their ways! This is a fantasy I have held for years and loved hearing this wonderful man express the same thought. Maybe if more of us desired this, we could reach a critical mass level to manifest it. and let humanity actually live as one in peace! All we are saying… is give peace a chance ✌️.

Thanks Dr. Mishlove and all volunteers for this video and your station. Really good therapy this video, especially 'I found no death* a concept I found to be a fabrication for control. Since three years old, I saw no logic in man's concept of disappearing death, except as an excellent manipulation technique resulting the illusion of control into a reality , conditioning generations towards self-satisfaction ❤GEM❤

All the Buddha said and how, is Santa Code. All sutra, Sara, jhanna, Hanna… all wisdom traditions of relationship. Meaning is usually a codex of sorts.

I struggle to understand why zen Buddhists deny there being any continuation of life after we die yet the Tibetan Buddhists do… I mean they both spend so much time in meditation you’d think they would come to the same beliefs.

Ah,! The father of the acclaimed actor, Uma Thurman. I've watched several interviews w/ this light-hearted scholar. I was greatly saddened by the news report that a 6 year old boy reported that the Dalai Lama asked him to "suck his tongue." There hasn't been any follow up stories on this news item. Hopefully, there will be no cover-up & maybe an honest effort to explain what happened.

Rel means relate, gen is Ken, kin… that could help. It’s basically tri consonant sound for relate relate. The L G or logi also in that ancient codex, means look and see. Lak shm I and saraswati also share the Shem, same, for the larger vision. The sutra are codex, universal. The actual Santa language lives, is real, and relates. That’s lucid. From within the lotus born of three kingdoms two families. (Santa code) the ancient codex reveals an ancient universal language hidden in all tribes. Even the word Kam apa has its roots in triconsonant sound also known as Santa. Tri consonant is NOT noun based but meaning based, relate based. Often the word archipelago works well rather than expecting naming based on nouns, that (spirit) awakens ram, spirit, fr, father, rise, rishi, sadhu, relating… spirit is a meaning traceable through triconsonant sound, action, life, movement, pitta, padapada, petal….father, paternal, patern nadi. (And nice)😅 Dathu means precise and expansive, like stars to our seeing. The spirit is in between all that. Dathu is also part of daughter of god is always with God (and also Buddhist) in Santa code. Those are ancestral ethnomusicological wisdom of these tribes way of navigating. The stories people tell about Pharos, and God, and religion and science are not great understanding, the word Ken. The shen gen Ken of those references are better recognized in Santa code, which they all are based in. When people tri to extract noun based relate from Santa code, they ignore the spirit. That’s why different religions don’t relate, they are related and can’t tell.. English words like nothing do refer to triconsonant archipelago exactly. (To the point, Dathu. Tatha Gatha.) nt and ng. People whom speak of God, are also profound wise honest lucid beings, and have returned to a quality of relating, through near death examples and others wherein they met these values of the indivisible. Shen, jhana, Ken, etc… are the masculine and feminine unity, realization. The reason for each consonant and relationships they have and show, are VERY advanced and specific. Dathu. A simple specific is shen… Means spirit, means motion, means pitta, means feur, means Pharo, means fire, means ra, means….. thus the archipelago of clear language recognition as triconsonant sound also recognizes how body reading and sound can be difficult and account for that thus pattern, thus spirit, thus father, paternity. The feminine is known as essential nature… con withness, stant, aka the guardian of God. Shen as beauty is simply a shine reference, like the sun and the stars and lifes padapada qualities. Pitta comes from this constancy. Nad is the sound that awakens the spark. (Tribu archipelago of the supreme dharma and Dathu Gatha. Wakea, dharma wakea, awakea, dharma Gaia, Maha wakea, vaka Kaya. These are universal key code to himanities wisdom traditions, specifically and expansively.

The word tri consonant, like Tipitaka, is better understood from meaning than nouns. Although the nouns are recognized in the behaviors of tri consonant sound. The ti, D/T, has a concentric circle a sat chit ananda quality. That t is also r, thus Tara, forest, tree in the forest and three all relate with T. The r is sometimes known to translate as L. Thus that fist Va well (concentric circles aka water, nad, ish, nadi…, behavior of a triconsonant rule is the relationship’s archipelago. The SPIRIT n The word. Spirit is also the babbuls of alcohol beverage such as jun, the fermented tea. The door is a Tara word. You see? Va wells are that, waters of heaven and earth. How did the Buddha transcend taking sides of the river, instantaneously? Have you ever seen a paternal monument of reverence and respect? In Buddhism? In Islam, in Human navigating? Pharo Pharo on the well, whom is the Farsi of them all? Is he bubbling ap? Abba racka Debra, open saysame. ISh lam and the seph rt, of crass. Sadi for the rd ness, just guess he would say, Well girls and boys, it was a little scary at the nadi and nice, all though, all in all was a slam tankha😂. (Note, and he didn’t believe in basketballs. Go sip heard at the word)

It is a joy conducting these interviews! Many times, I have questions in mind, and the guest will frequently answer a majority of them without me ever verbally asking them. I felt very in sync with Robert! A few times, I hadn't fully finished asking my question but he knew exactly what I was asking. Thank you for your comment and watching! 😄❤
