Thank you Aubrey for having Stan Grof on your show. He is brilliant and has transformed Psychiatry. We all are blessed by his discoveries and experiences.
So amazing to see this extraordinary pioneer being in an interview again these days. He is above 80 years old now. What a life. Thank you Dr Grof! Proper respect!
Stan Grof is the man! It would be great if Joe Rogan had him on in order to introduce a larger audience to the importance of the work of this phenomenal pioneer of psychedelic research.
Joe and Tom green started pod cast, think they are the main pioneer's, we all would of took the 100mil and dipped out also. Let others come up ☝ 🙏 OM --
Pain, choking, and sexual energy are key words and a key concept to understand here. Especially the Carradine example. Lots of layers in there. Thank you for being so wonderful and amazing Stan and sharing your knowledge and experience with us willingly. Marcus, great job. Awesome interview. You must do more. You make amazing interviews.
This man has done some cutting edge research on Consciousness, another great to listen to is Dr. Dean Radin & Rupert Sheldrake's expertise in this subject matter!!!
If you appreciate Grof, you will love Ken Wilber. He's the culmination of all of these greats. If he was household name we wouod ve in good shape because he has created the models that tie all of this and more together
Some really thought inspiring anecdotes from the Doctor here especially on rebirth. The compliment at the end for Aubrey must have been truly an honor for him. Great podcast!
Namaste from India from where east asian and world's oldest spiritual traditions originated. I am of opinion that endeavour of every type of human activities including scientific, artistic etc lies in only 2 words Prana ~ universal singular energy Akasha ~ infinite space. To have glimpse of reality through Tantra which works on both prana and akasha are main elements. This video is one of the rare few videos which have tried to grasp the subject which cannot be explained by written or spoken words ( it can be only experienced ) Inner subtle subatomic breath which begins only when external breath through both nostrils seize for certain time. Thanks for sharing your profound insight and wisdom.
The beginning of spiritual practice, at least in the post axial religions, is having an ego, whether strong or weak. You can only get rid of the ego if you have an ego.

Alot of people are C section born so like would that change things in any important way that we should be aware of? also personally I was tied up with the umbilical cord tied around my neck and was faced the wrong way so had to be C sectioned jus wondering if this would cause issues with reliving a birth experience?
I'm not sure if it was Grof who mentioned this in one of his books, but I have read that people born with C section tend, in regards to the average, to be more neurotic and paranoid, follow conspiracy theories etc. This because their world of peace, was suddenly shattered by outside forces that operated beyond the veil of perceivable experience. People who still carry this trauma will tend to see dark forces, conspiracies and plots in every alley.
Jesse White Jane English wrote a book called ‘Different Doorway’ all about us Cesarean born individuals. It may help you understand the importance of some of these questions you have. I too had a Traumatic Birth, my mother and I both nearly died in my coming into this world. Its been a difficult source of information in my life, im fascinated yet scared to look into that hospital operation room in June 1974...
In holotropic work, when someone experiences c section at birth, they often go through life enduring hardships, and at the very last minute they experience being rescued.
Q-"So there's very few people in the universe that I would start a podcast asking this question, but since I have you here I thought I would start the podcast with this question. What is the ego?" A-"What is that I do?"
The Sage and the Child Aubrey sounds like he's breathing into the mic, maybe I had to much coffee cause I find it distracting Still I'm liking this as it seems to be the latest Grof interview on TH-cam. Is he 90 yrs old here ? Just a couple of thoughts, thanks
interviewshould be done in Stanislav mother tongue and then translated to the people of the world. otherwise , he can't focus properly on the subject. stop doing these interviews in english , dear Stanislav grof
STAN GROF, EVERYBODY!! Endless thanks to Aubrey for getting such a mind on his podcast.

OMG the greatest LSD Scientist of all time!
Forever thankful to you, Dr. Grof.
YESSSS!!! STAN GROF! Wish rogan and ferris had podcasts with him. Well done Aubrey!
Ferris has one with him, more than 2.5 hours long.
It baffles me that Rogan doens't even mention his name.
If you appreciate Grof, you will love Ken Wilber. He's the culmination of all of these greats. If he was household name we wouod ve in good shape because he has created the models that tie all of this and more together

Love the idea about "cause & effect" ...where did the cause come from! Yes, for his astounding work in metaphysics and transpersonal psychology!
Happy to have discovered this podcast/channel from looking up Stan Grof! Look forward to listening to more of both

i cannot believe aubrey hasnt pulled the strings to get grof on rogan yet. it would be a service to humanity to get grof that much exposure.
amazing interview Aubrey - you have grown into an amazing host!
watching this while doing holotropic breath work, speechless inner journey to oneness
Thank you, Great interview!
Great! Loved this😊

Great Podcast!
Amazing podcasts!
What about Cesarean section births? Does he discuss the effects of that?
Alot of people are C section born so like would that change things in any important way that we should be aware of?
also personally I was tied up with the umbilical cord tied around my neck and was faced the wrong way so had to be C sectioned jus wondering if this would cause issues with reliving a birth experience?
Fascinating question!
jesse white im curious aswell, good question.
I'm not sure if it was Grof who mentioned this in one of his books, but I have read that people born with C section tend, in regards to the average, to be more neurotic and paranoid, follow conspiracy theories etc. This because their world of peace, was suddenly shattered by outside forces that operated beyond the veil of perceivable experience.

"what is it that I do?"
DEUS VULT he’s 86 years old here and English is not his first language. Take it easy, his hearing is not what it was.
You have a ego problem. I think the earphone distorted the sound, you can tell he had no problem understanding the rest of the questions
False self dissolution and real self re emergence
Around 21:15 the nouns thing sounds like a borrowed Alan Watts comment “groffing” is similar to watts’ “catting”
Good observation, I must say! I was looking for the comment about ”groffing” because I found it really funny😂
“The catting is sitting on the matting”
Incredibly useful game
Czech! :)
Love!!!!!!
Thank you!! Studied Grof's work in my graduate program....
Q-"So there's very few people in the universe that I would start a podcast asking this question, but since I have you here I thought I would start the podcast with this question. What is the ego?"
A-"What is that I do?"
Grof is 90 now, he got a little hearing difficulties probably :P
At first I thought it was a really insightful answer.
The Sage and the Child
Aubrey sounds like he's breathing into the mic, maybe I had to much coffee cause I find it distracting
Still I'm liking this as it seems to be the latest Grof interview on TH-cam. Is he 90 yrs old here ?
Just a couple of thoughts, thanks
He isn’t a good interviewer
Found him inexperienced and kept interrupting such a great mind
No chemistry
Aubrey: what is the ego?
Stan: what is it that I do?
Stans mind: you fly me all the way out here to meet this douchbag and he doesn't know what I do?
Good one hahah
Lol ego is in fact something we do, not are, so perfect answer
3:16 Buy your hamburger???!! THE FUTURE IS VEGAN, Mr Grof! Have you not heard?
The future is now ;)
interviewshould be done in Stanislav mother tongue and then translated to the people of the world. otherwise , he can't focus properly on the subject. stop doing these interviews in english , dear Stanislav grof
He's articulated perfectly
