We do have men like us in this world. We're just not promoted or really listened to. Why does this video only have 100k views?

As a barely millenial, I identify WAY more with you X'ers. We all wanted to grow up so quickly.

I appreciate Rainn Wilson's genuine effort on spirituality. I personally believe Jesus is the only way but Ive been saddened by the lack of life and creativity in some pockets of the Christian faith. I can't blame people who are turned off by the stuffy judgemental pockets of Christianity. However, there are amazing believers of Jesus who are full of life, creativity, and holy authenticity. I can't imagine living life without a relationship with Jesus. Ive experienced so many miracles and guidance to deny my need for Him. Ive been challenged to pick up my cross and forgive my enemies. Its a very wholistic experience that explores the depth of the soul as well as the life of the Spirit of Christ that dwells in all who confess Him as Lord and believe in their hearts that God raised Him from the dead.

The Office saved my life. It was my best friend everyday for years and still is. Such a beautiful chemistry of characters and actors. And the bits never end. I’m still finding new jokes. I’m so happy to see Rainn doing well with the book. I’m going to check it out.

It's the questions of, "How can we take you seriously?" that irk me the most. He's a human being. Every human being is capable of philosophical thought and insight. It doesn't require further explanation. Bravo to Rainn for using his platform to share his wisdom. We could all learn something from every person's experience.

I understand when this question is asked, because when a person has a platform of fame, their words and actions have a broader impact. There are lots of great reasons to listen to Rainn, but it's the same question as, "Why should there be ethical standards for what an athlete does off the field?" For better or for worse, people that have found success in certain fields are looked at as role models and influencers. While Rainn is a positive influence, if we shut down asking why anyone should listen to him, we lose the grounding to ask the same question of someone who may have a more questionable influence.

I love this episode. I am a baby-boomer that sees the universe in the way that Rainn is speaking of in this episode. In parallel to this, I have followed writings of Eckhart Tolle and Don Miguel Ruiz as a way of seeing a new spirituality, and I'll have to re-listen to this episode several time. Thank you to Rainn for relating his life in the Baha’i Faith; very enlightening. It is past time for a new way of thinking about true Spirituality.

We need more Rainn in this world 🌱

Worked with Rainn many years ago on Mimzy. I’m an atheist in recovery and have started a Secular Sobriety 12 step group to go along with many out there now. I tried for many years to play along in traditional AA and couldn’t stay sober. By abandoning the divine chase ive finally found peace and long term sobriety. Of course one day at a time.

The Twelve Steps require only something larger than you. I was raised by a mother in recovery. She, in her search for a Higher Power, did come to rest for a time in the Bahá’í Faith, though she left it after relapsing 10 years later and cobbled together a very useful concept of Morality/the Greater Good/Universal Consciousness, which allowed her to find her way back to sobriety. The Godhead in the Bahá’í Faith is an Unknowable Essence, which is the source of all love, etc, which is why it was a fairly good fit for a time for her. Be your best is all you can do, no matter your Universal Context. Two of my very very dearest friends are also staunch atheists. I prefer them to a lot of theists. ❤

Thank you Rainn for posting this on your IG story! This impacted me in such a positive way. I can’t wait to read your book. THANK YOU SO MUCH

FANTASTIC conversation guys! Thanks! ✌

This was a fun one, thanks Rain. Rich you seam really relaxed and playful, great to see. Sending you both much love ❤️

Love Rainn, and love the office so much. The hunger or curiosity of us as humans for spiritual depth is so beautifully innate. It's woven into our being. No matter what part of this world you find yourself in or what worldview you fall back on, there's a desire somewhere for something not of the physical world at least in some capacity. What we satisfy that curiosity with can be so fundamental and crucial in not only our own lives, but the lives of those around us as well. There's often discussion on what religion or worldview is best or what the difference is in impact of accepting one belief system over another. If there was just one thing that could be mentioned to give guidance in that search, I've found this: most (specifically most) major world religions are founded upon or find focus on the necessities to pass on to heaven; what you have to do to get to God Christianity, is what God did to get to YOU.

Thank you both very much for this beautiful, uplifting conversation❤. HOPE

Wow, that first 20 seconds is so on point and profound! Before listening to the rest, my initial comment is that connection to our spirit nature, not necessarily religion, is key in this age of AI.

This really meant a lot to me. Thank you.

We are spiritual creatures. Sooner we understand this, the advancement and betterment of society can be realized.

I love that Rainn used the word "panoply" in the beginning, meaning: a complete or impressive collection of things, a magnificent or impressive array. Rainn, you are a golden human being.

Really enjoyed this conversation. Thank you. I had the thought that you should really do a series breaking down AA, your experience with it, and why it is valuable.

ha what a sweet conversation. I love the back and forth 💜

1:00:31 to 1:02:09 I'm so glad Rainn brought this up because just like his son, I was incredibly upset when the willow project was passed. As a young person, it's so disheartening when those who are supposed to be leaders, and older people we "have to look up to" and all that, are making decisions like this.

That was amazing!!!

Rainn, I'm Brazilian, and here spirituality and spisitism are Well difused among us. It's really amazing to see a famous and beloved actor with that Kind of knowledge and awereness. You are breaking The rules of The materialism of The media, hope more actors can follow you and express their believes. This can breake The sistem. Good bless you, love you so much.

Why (like at 1:39:55 ish) do we have to mock what others are doing to try to be better? In a wonderful conversation, love, peace, hope, joy...we have to roll our eyes and condesend? This is a fantastic conversation and I am so grateful, but hoping we can all talk about what others are doing, as examples, without the ridicule. Thank you, sincerely, for this and for the book, it's remarkable!

love this episode.

Great podcast

As morality increases in the aggregate of humanity, freedom will increase. As morality declines, freedom declines. A spiritual revolution, spiritual evolution can bring about this change, but action needs to be taken to teach morality and divine connection to everyone in need of It.

Very good podcast 💯

I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. We need a collaborative religion or collaboration between religions with guiding principles, basic structure, democratic process, and community building. I have deep appreciation for the Baháʼí Faith. As a convert Buddhist practitioner and a UU, I watch Unitarian Universalists operate democratically at a congregational level. They do send representatives to a central organization. Thus far, my experience has shown bottom up authority, AND I am watchful from the edge of the inside. I also want to share that Franciscan Friar, Father Richard Rohr, says that AA will go down in history as America's exceptional contribution to spiritual development and formation. Lastly, pilgrimage is a rite of passage. We all need that experience. Unlike Rainn's experience of returning to LA, in returning to the Carolina's from India, I saw all things as sacred. Thank you, both, for your commitment to bettering our predicament. I'm ready for the Spiritual Revolution.

Love the conversation, my only pet peeve is when Rainn is finishing a deep thought and Rich will respond “Sure.” I know it’s a personal thing, not controlling what Rich is saying, I just find it funny. 😂

Another benefit of "religion": giving us a shared language to use to discuss the invisible aspects of life, of our experience. So helpful in relationships to have a shared language / framework for thinking about the things that are most impactful and largely invisible to the more acknowledged senses.

I feel so close to these ideas. Its so hard to be hopeful for the future, because during the time we develop different thinking and trying to respond to the "how can we change things", the Earth and non-human animals are dying and the ecosystems are already destroyed and being destroyed. And despite all the good news about the new generation trying to make a change, the new ways of consumerism brought by human greed and individualism way of thinking arrive and it feels like it's a neverending combat, but the Earth has an end. I feel some solutions could reside in education, maybe start valuing philosophy and spirituality as equal to science and technology, and teach them in mandatory school programs. Art could also help spread those ideas, that's what I try to do through my personal (visual) art. But people like to watch it and go "that's nice" without thinking about the meaning, or think about it and forget it quickly. Awareness is a work of everyday, for all of us its hard to remind ourselves constantly to be present and grateful for life and care about the need of collectivity before our own, because of this society that forces us to consume. Also I feel the emphasis of diminishing our ego, as humans, and open our sense of collectivity to non-human animals and our environment is left out. Veganism is a big element that could be added to the discussion. I just got lost in my own thoughts, I could go for hours, plus I'm not a native english speaker. Sorry if I bore you 😅 Great video as always. Thank you Rich and Rainn to spread seeds of awareness and opening people's mind wider ❤ Cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭

From Argentina, i can said that this man has understud the stuff, we need people concient of their enviroment and up to all things, we need responsable use and action from the "first world nations", the world is triying to make thinks well, but the distance is huge. We need to develope a way to exchange wisdom, culture and education betwen upside and downside world.

What a wonderful interview and pertinent topic in today's world. We need to end partisan politics, including even speaking of our leaders on a personal level which just brings them the attention they need and crave to stay relevant. We need to stop attacking other humans entirely. The gossip and backbiting machine is destroying our unity. We need also to recognize that, for every good or bad thing one can say about religion, the same can be said about science. They are two necessary sides of human endeavor that have much in common. While it is fashionable today to condemn religion for the "terrible things done in the name of God", we find it impossible to be honest about all the good things religion has done for humanity, including giving us a history book of humankind's cumulative mistakes and the wisdom and guidance that comes out of it, the communities that formed which have served humankind and given us comfort and a way to serve humanity and build great civilizations together under one common belief system, and the individuals who, like William Wilberforce and all his struggling counterparts in Christianity, sacrificed all to maintain their integrity of Christian Faith and strive to end legal human slavery everywhere in the world. If people of those days had given up on their religion, because of the "bad things" the Church had done, we would still be able to own slaves today and many of us would probably be slaves ourselves. On the other hand, we elevate science to a god-like position and completely overlook that science has succumbed to the same problem - evil or immoral men can produce more evil than any religion ever has. Because of science we live longer, we cure terrible diseases but because of science we also have weapons of mass destruction, including COVID and other bio weapons, nuclear bombs, automatic guns, Dr Mengele-type genocidal experiments, immoral experimentation on unwitting humans and animals, and chemical fertilizers and other agricultural products and insecticides that are poisoning our food and water supplies and harming people and animals. Profit and funding makes scientists design studies and "find" evidence that suit the profit margins of their sponsors. Reign is right! Science and religion need each other and we all need a Soul Boom. I'm reading his book!

So like 2 days ago I made my evening prayer with much fervor. I was asking for direct clear guidance. I trust my dreams and I dream often in the night.

Coupled with the image I heard the words. "your soul is brown". I have yet to decipher it's meaning but thought I'd share here.

Excellent episode, really enjoyed it. My only real qualm is both of their (for the most part) dismissal of psychedelics. I do agree that they are not the complete answer and you will get a lot more questions throughout your journeys - in which this ongoing, infinite process which can be escapism. That said, their evaluation does come off as people without first hand experience and/or have had mediocre experiences. I understand that society is finding a socially satisfactory acceptance of psychedelics with the whole mental health angle (which is certainly wonderful and true in my experience) but it is very humdrum compared to what this realm truly entails. It seems like most of the discussions around psychs in the public are from a trauma repair/metal health angle, but for others like myself it's the simple fact that you aren't going to see your hands morphing into trees/the visual spectacles under everyday 3D/5D existence nor are you going to have as obvious of communications with other beings from other dimensions/densities. Psychedellics offer an obvious confirmation of all things mystical through direct experience which normal life simply does not offer in as visually stunning or captivating of a way. I believe that, sure, you can get lost in this but there is a healthy medium in which you could spend a whole life making journeys as long as it is truly progressive.

Yeah, that segment didn’t hit right for me either. I did agree that they shouldn’t be the sole path for connecting to your essence or the divine. But as much as they didn’t like the newfound western entry into psychedelics, they also don’t sound knowledgeable enough to have such judgements around what people do in their professional or daily lives, after psychedelic experiences. It’s not for anyone to say about how other people are processing or integrating those experiences. Yes, I don’t want psychedelics to be used and not integrated, or used recklessly. I’m also grateful they’re leaking into the mainstream, even if it’s messy, because they ARE helping people to gain insight into the human experience and evolve.
