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
