Sir Arthur Eddington, the British physicist, said, “The stuff of the world is mind-stuff.”
The Yoga Vasistha of the ancient Vedic literature states, “Even as from the waking state there is no materiality in the objects seen in a dream, this world appears to be material, yet in reality it is pure consciousness.”
We are not in the world; the world is within us, and the Simplest State of human awareness is that state where consciousness is open to itself--a field of all possibilities.
The development of higher states of consciousness is a theme of all cultures throughout time. Each in their own way, our guests have searched for something more, and we learn from them how their search for higher states of consciousness has impacted them as they describe the pursuit, development, and expression of consciousness and creativity in their lives.
Unique guests, fascinating stories, wonderful revelations, and spiritual epiphanies, all brought to light in an entertaining and informative fashion on Simplest State.

James Hoggan - Best-selling author, climate activist, and advocate of ethics in public discourse
A fascinating discussion with James Hoggan, author of I'm Right and You're an Idiot - The Toxic State of Public Discourse and How to Clean it Up.
Hoggan recalls his meeting with the Dalai Lama, and how the esteemed Buddhist monk, Thích Nhất Hạnh, taught him about compassionate listening and the inner ecology, advising James to, "Speak the truth, but not to punish."
This lively exchange touches on many timely subjects, including tribalism in public discourse, propaganda, and the growth of unreasonableness. Hoggan relates how the inner work on one's character and consciousness is necessary to effectively participate in social and political processes.
