In this episode of Dialogues Across Cultures, writer and I Ching scholar Annie Wang sits down with scholar, author, and long-time meditator Prof. Robert K.C. Forman for a deep, cross-cultural conversation on consciousness, spirituality, and inner peace.
Prof. Forman has practiced Transcendental Meditation (TM) twice daily for 57 years without missing a single day. Drawing from his background as a scholar of comparative religion (PhD from Columbia University, author of 13 books) and his experience as a hospital chaplain working with the terminally ill, he offers profound and practical wisdom on what it truly means to quiet the mind.
In this episode, we explore:
57 Years of Daily Practice: How meditation shifts from an effortful technique into an effortless daily rhythm—much like eating lunch.
Effortless "Joining With": Why true meditation is about slipping naturally into pure consciousness rather than forcefully monitoring your "monkey mind."
Overcoming Ego Death & "I-Hold": Why chasing "无我" (ego death) backfires, and how to gently allow self-preoccupations to dissolve into open awareness.
Lessons from the Dying: Fresh perspectives on life, radical honesty, and lack of regret gathered from sitting at the bedsides of terminally ill patients.
Energy Fields & Chakras: Physical perceptions of subtle energy, the power of collective meditation, and the tangible vibes of spiritual places like Sedona.
East Meets West: How Buddhist Śūnyatā (emptiness) and Hindu Brahman (fullness) describe the exact same underlying reality.
About the Host:
Annie Wang (王蕤) is a published author and I Ching scholar exploring the intersection of Eastern philosophy, Western thought, and human consciousness.
