This seminar series explores the themes of life purpose, the meaning of life, the search for immortality, and the significance of death in human psychology and cultures.

I left last time with this slide here of total repression. What does this mean? So, in the earlier work that I've done in Awakenings, in Rock Solid, Masculine Mastery, in earlier summits, I went in depth for years about depression, of childhood traumas, and the basic neurosis. And one of the reasons why this book kept getting sided in all of the other literature was because, what this is doing is it's taking it to its logical conclusion. The conclusion is that our entire lives in all of human history is a repression. We're going to explore what that means.
