052 — The Way of a Zen Warrior with Sam Morris
Sam Morris is the founder of Zen Warrior Training®, an enlightened leadership and embodied wisdom coaching program. A lifelong student of human awakening, Sam endured a spinal cord injury in 1999, paralyzing him from the waist down and catalyzing a deep dive into somatic healing arts, depth psychology, wisdom traditions and the innate intelligence of the body. Sam trains his clients in how to develop mastery over the inner workings of the egoic mind and live from an enlightened state of presence in their businesses and personal lives.
In today’s deep conversation and inquiry, Sam Morris and Dr. Fred explore:
The “precision of the unknown” and synchronicity
How the "Who am I?" question creates a false identity
The willingness to be dynamic in one's experience of life
How escaping "the level of logic" helped Sam to move forward after his accident
The logical mind vs. the transcendent mind
Sam's progression from "Why me?" → "Why not me?" → "Of course it's me!"
How unconscious influences create conformity
Why Sam insists on speaking openly about the loss of his sexual function
The mistake of attaching our value to arbitrary measures
How psychedelics played a role in both Sam and Dr. Fred's journeys
The trap of thinking there's something "better" to get to
