In This Interview, Dean Sluyter and I Discuss…

• His book, Fear Less: Living Beyond Fear, Anxiety, Anger, and Addiction
• Right View and how it relates to having less fear in your life
• How right view is always liberating
• Asking, “does it help?”
• “One mustn’t assume burdens that God doesn’t lay upon us. The state of worry is not itself meritorious.” CS Lewis
• The problem with trying to control your mind
• Transcendental Meditation
• Hanging out in tasklessness
• The open space of awareness
• How thought doesn’t have to go away in order to meditate
• Relax your grip, and relax back into yourself
• It doesn’t grip you, it has no power to do that. You grip it.
• What it means to relax at the moment of contact
• Relax into it, stop the resistance of it
• Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional
• suffering = pain x resistance
