In this episode, Gregg is joined by Dr. Baron Short to talk about Zendo, which is a potentially revolutionary brain stimulation device to help advance meditation and calm self-conscious neurotic tendencies. Dr. Short is an interventional psychiatrist and medical director of the Brain Stimulation Services at the Medical University of South Carolina. He and Gregg co-produced the UTOK video series, The Mindedness Revolution.

In this episode, Dr. Short describes Zendo and how this breakthrough technology emerged. As described on the website, Zendo is a meditation assistance device that makes meditating easier. Experience what it’s like to instantly quiet your mind. Be more calm, less stressed, and reduce distracting thoughts in a single 20 minute session. With Zendo, every meditation feels like your best session.

Gregg has been using Zendo since early December and he describes the effects that it has had on him, including increased focus and industriousness, a calming “chill” feeling, and attentional clarity, and highly recommends the product to listeners.

In this episode, Layman returns to the show for the seventh time to discuss his recently published book, Gurdjieff for a Time Between Worlds. In it, Layman recounts Gurdjieff’s fascinating life and approach to spirituality and why the book was a “hyperpersonal” endeavor that was appropriate for the metamodern age. Layman also clarifies some common misconceptions, explains why he has a unique take on Gurdjieff and bridges Gurdjieff’s perspective on the body, emotions, and the mind with UTOK’s conception of the three layers of mindedness (https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/theory-of-knowledge/202401/the-mind-versus-layers-of-mindedness).
