476. “You’re Not the Victim of Your Mind” | Returning to Radical Aliveness with Richard Moss
Jul 27, 2026
Richard Moss is an internationally respected teacher, author, and visionary thinker who has spent nearly five decades exploring human consciousness, presence, and what he calls radical aliveness. After a spontaneous state of illumination ended his career in emergency medicine, he devoted his life to helping people understand how their thoughts shape their emotional experience and how awareness can reconnect them with a deeper sense of self.
In our conversation, Richard explains the framework behind his book, The Mandala of Being: Discovering the Power of Awareness. He describes how the mind pulls us into stories about the past, fears about the future, and judgments about ourselves and others. By returning to the present moment, we can observe those patterns without becoming controlled by them.
We also explore why resisting fear often gives it more power. Richard shares how meeting difficult emotions with attention, softness, and curiosity can turn fear into aliveness and help us respond to life from a place of love rather than reactivity.
