good point, and i mentioned to another individual on this thread, i think John was definitely a different man after he had got serious with Miss Yoko Ono
I find it very interesting that these were the two men who left us early, the ones who were always looking for answers within. With George I believe it was a lifetime journey, for John I believe he really was trying to become a better person, which was a lifelong journey for him.🍏
he’s really deep… if you haven’t already, i suggest checking out almost any of his subsequent (after he got into meditation and eastern mysticism) interviews or teachings, he’s really an intellectual and very interesting figure …. imo
That's the greatest interview I've seen so far. One person represented the entire society's ignorance, and everyone else presented unbelievably well-spoken arguments. The more serious they appeared, the better their arguments were. The old man impressed me a lot. What I love the most is the level of respect, which is often hard to find nowadays - everyone listens, no one interrupts, and even if they hold completely different views, they separate the argument from the person. Everyone remains rational and respectful. Great.
The self-control John & George maintained in the face of such relentless, willful ignorance displayed by the fellow in glasses is amazing. Especially in John's case!! Neither suffered fools gladly.
THE guy in the glasses was just the interlocutor, nobody was disrespectful- G and J weren't demigods, they could handle a little friction (probably even appreciated it). This was 60s Britain, they didn't have the same worship of celebrity they have today in modern day Southern California.
What? The Boomers and hippies ruined the world and are to blame for todays problems. I love the Beatles but I understand they’re just men like everyone else not superheroes

Can you imagine the rock and pop stars of the late 50s and early 60s (e.g. Johnny Gentle, Adam Faith, even Elvis et al) being able to articulate any religious standpoint in public? It's perhaps why The Beatles were so revolutionary. Their intelligence really set them apart.
This is one of the most thought provoking interviews I've ever seen. Unbelievable that it's from 1967. Even the guy in the glasses makes some good counterpoints. George was spectacular and John, well, I was just really proud of how composed he stayed.
i don’t think John had met yoko at this point, had he ? i’m not sure, and i think he was definitely a bit different after getting involved with her, for better or worse
Dang. George sounds so intelligent and very concise with his words. Where the other Beatles seemed to shift their personalities a lot more, George sounds like he grasped very early on what he wanted out of this life and was very sincere in his thought process in this interview.
John Lenon was so funny and so spontanious . He doesn't care to let it out with his sarcasm at 11:45 when George was talking about that guy in the Himalayas who since the time of Jesus was still alive as they were having this interview, George said he is alive in the same body. John immediatly said "in the same suit" LMAO , so hillarious
A couple of dudes who happen to be highly successful pop music composers brought forward to teach everyone about hidden truths of the universe. Interesting discussion.
Pleasantly surprised by this audience. The speakers were very articulate and everyone aside from the main antagonist was very open minded. I assumed there would be a lot of negators, but it was a very good and thought provoking show.
Yes!!! Sort of blown away that this gathering of spiritualist and materialists actually happened! This will help me explain the beauty of inner peace and realization of true self. Love this...forever.:)

A lot of the youth are starting to revert back to the values and ideas held by the youth of the 1960s I feel. A lot of younger people are taking up meditation, mindfulness, and Buddhism. So hopefully this will benefit the future.
Had John and George not made it in music,they would have slid into what most people have had to endure......trying to get a roof over their families heads, food on the table and medicine when needed. That has been the human experience for all time. Here, they have the time and means to ponder other less important issues. The guy in the thick reamed glasses made some very good points here.
@@pr9062 Or possibly, if society could have been be awake enough (or could now) to see that meditation and understanding around emotional well being was taught in schools, any human in any material living situation could benefit from meditation and its teachings. especially if someone was struggling with material things.
The words ‘mental health’ is all over this interview but no one says it, they talk about religion and the universe when meditation is really just a free way to help one’s mental health to be calm vs alcohol or drugs
Mental Health hadn’t been invented yet😊 People talked of ‘nervous breakdowns’ when I was a kid , with no explanation. People were also sometimes locked up and sedated.
@@elfiniayes it was. Therapy and mental health was a thing. This was the 60’s a spiritual evolution was happening. There was no internet. Eastern spiritually was very foreign. The Beatles going to India was a big deal.
That dude that kept contradicting what the message was should've been kicked out of the room. But it's always good to have an opposite person there opposing what you're talking about, because then you can make an example out of them. Meditation and peace of mind are the most important things in the World and Universe.
Yea let's throw all opposing voices out of the room, that's never led to anything horrible historically. Also, he was raising valid points, he might not be right but those things have to be discussed
As much as I like George, it's always tricky to hear him say that he would be better off without money and material wealth when there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell of him giving it away.
Yes, true hippy hypocrisy. Like those who decried modernity and lived in communes, showing up in town once a week to collect their Benefits cheques made available from people who paid taxes working in office buildings and garages etc.
Apart from the man in the glasses .. who is clearly unhappy .. the audience responses were interesting and insightful. The man next to him answered him beautifully .. I f you don't have peace in yourself you cannot have peace in the world .. pretty simple.
He’s not unhappy. He’s merely giving his opinion respectfully. The man is John Mortimer who was a famous British writer and dramatist and former lawyer hence the very practical outlook.
reality is an outside and an inside... so many only experience the outside... all the worldly pleasures and pain and miss what is happening inside of them... when there is a balance for the individual of both observing the outside as well as the inside, one's view is more complete, one's understanding is larger... so life is more whole
How many stars who hit it really big in their early to mid 20s, realize that money and fame wasnt what its cracked up to be? They matured extremely rapidly.
I never seen them do anything like this before (it seems tailor-made for TH-cam!) But it would be nice to have seen the previous weeks program as well… Has that survived?
the separation between john and george's psyche are a universe apart though they're pondering the same question. george is a student of faith, modestly pursuing greater truth and john was just searching for something to fill the void. their approaches are distinctly varied from one another.
In the Beatles in India documentary, Harrison asked the guru: Why did life choose me to be a Beatle? And because meditation seemed something deeply special to him and because to others, not so much. The guru spoke to him about his soul. Told him: Your soul leads many lives on this earth. The life you have now is the last form it will have. That's why you are the quietest and most spiritual Beatle. When you die your soul will rest eternally. He also told him that on the other hand, John Lennon's soul is an almost new soul, he has had few lives, that is why he is so restless and childish.
What's really fascinating is the fact that now 55 years later, we still don't get it as a society; and we are still arguing and debating this stuff today!
Good points made about the Quakers. If all religionists became Quakers the world would be a much better place. Imagine a world without Abrahamic dogma. I say this as an atheist.
How annoying is that guy in the big black glasses who,s having none of it ? 😂 Its a good job John and George had chilled out through meditation isnt it ? Them not reacting angrily proves it works 😂😂.
Mr. Angry Glasses was … \Sir John Clifford Mortimer CBE QC FRSL (21 April 1923 - 16 January 2009)[1] was a British barrister, dramatist, screenwriter and author. He is best known for short stories about a barrister named Horace Rumpole, adapted from episodes of the TV series Rumpole of the Bailey also written by Mortimer. - Wikipedia He was a Grade A thinker and simply challenged Harrison and Lennon’s waffle. He was a practical man who knew that, in fact, Love is not all you need.
"The guy in the glasses" is John Mortimer, Lawyer and playwright. The Beatles were heavily into LSD at this point (John especially) and hadn't yet visited the Maharishi at his ashram in India, where they all found out he wasn't as spiritual as he claimed, having a great desire for Earthly things like girls and money.
Splains everything. I was a student of religious studies at the university and i had a notion all religions could all have simular roots. I was totally mistaken.
You get the feeling John Lennon is biting his lip a bit. Not enjoying being in the company of the entitled. Though, it would be great to have something like this on tv these miserable days.
Only the old man is a serious meditator...The others, including the Beatles, especially John, were just dabblers..The guy in the glasses never sat five minutes in silence..After forty years practicing meditation, I can only say, it takes away your identities and gives you absolutely nothing and that's it's gift..
Before Jesus Christ !! 😂 i absolutely love George and John but im not sure about the hymalayan guy being over 2000 year old man 😂. I wonder if George looked back at this 20 years later and thought how niave was i ! 😂😂, everything else about meditation and spiritual teaching is right on point and only a good thing and George and The Beatles brought it to millions of people who wouldn't have known about it and that was a cultural phenomenon. But the 2000 yr old man 😂. Then again who knows its very unlikely but thats not impossible is it ? How Brave though ? Actually unbelievably brave putting themselves out their to be shot down by anyone and everyone. Absolute legends , culturally and musically and also as men. GOAT.
Loved these guys, they used their fame to promote knowledge, global human connection and cohesion of our human lives. Today, pop stars promote their new clothing line... The individualistic incentives of capitalism are fracturing our human population beyond repair today. I think largely as an extended, pathological response to the spread of human knowledge, connection and the belief that other human organizational schemes are not only possible, but necessary, that came out of the high education of the 50s and 60s

Before Jesus Christ !! 😂 i absolutely love George and John but im not sure about the hymalayan guy being over 2000 year old man 😂. I wonder if George looked back at this 20 years later and thought how niave was i ! 😂😂, everything else about meditation and spiritual teaching is right on point and only a good thing and George and The Beatles brought it to millions of people who wouldn't have known about it and that was a cultural phenomenon. But the 2000 yr old man 😂. Then again who knows its very unlikely but thats not impossible is it ? How Brave though ? Actually unbelievably brave putting themselves out their to be shot down by anyone and everyone. Absolute legends , culturally and musically and also as men. GOAT.
That china joke at the start absolutely killed me! 😂😂
Well I think it's time to crank up 'Within You Without You' and 'The Inner Light'
George Harrison is so Intelligent
The Beatles were living pretty much like every other rich person of the time, no matter their religion.

John might've just inspired a RHCP song right there
George Harrison is the most Religious Beatle
Loved these guys, they used their fame to promote knowledge, global human connection and cohesion of our human lives. Today, pop stars promote their new clothing line...
The individualistic incentives of capitalism are fracturing our human population beyond repair today. I think largely as an extended, pathological response to the spread of human knowledge, connection and the belief that other human organizational schemes are not only possible, but necessary, that came out of the high education of the 50s and 60s

Is this that era where people say they were experimenting?
Heard they were smoking a lot of LSD and drinking a lot of weed. Eyyah
Yes, 1967, the psychedelic year
Great video
actual dialogue! amazing. something we no longer have. shame
Interesting video! Was this aired on the telly back then? What was the viewers reaction?
John is like a scared kid. And George is very mature for his age.
It's unlikely that a 3 year age gap is a huge difference.
A scared kid? What?
John just didn’t believe in it as much as George. His trip to India didn’t impress him as mush as it did with George
24 years old George sounds like a 65 years old wise person these days. Were men smarter, wiser and more mature or what?
