You have a favorite Matthew Lillard film or TV performance. It might be SLC Punk , the Scream franchise, Scooby Doo , Hackers , She's All That , Twin Peaks: The Return , or the new Stephen King and Mike Flanagan movie The Life of Chuck . He's been working in Hollywood for over 30 years, and has a reputation for being kind to fans. But connecting with people is exactly why he got into acting as a kid — the community that comes from putting on a play together and hashing it all out at the diner afterward. It's what drew him to Dungeons & Dragons, and then a spirits company celebrating fantasy and horror fandoms. Lillard joined Tinfoil Swans to talk about growing up not fitting in, the thrill of finding your people, the punk rock high school movie he directed, his wedding cheese wheel, and so much more.

0:07 Why is it so difficult to see our own faults and put in efforts to change ourselves?
6:07 If we don't see change in our character even though we are practicing sadhana - why is this?
22:15 Does spiritual yearning come to all of us eventually?
27:02 How do we overcome difficulties in life?
28:44 Should we concentrate on ourselves instead of trying to change the world?
33:07 Even if a Self Realised Yogi does not come out into the world, are they still helping the world in some way?
34:25 The thought of letting go of attachment to worldly things makes me angry and fearful even though I know there is no lasting joy in these things.
36:25 How to get rid of bad, negative, ugly and repetitive thoughts and the guilt trip thereafter?
37:46 How to protect ourselves from negative energy when meditating in different places?
38:40 Are all the paths of bhakti yoga, karma yoga and jnana yoga needed to achieve Self Realization?
41:06 If one experiences expanding beyond the body and the body dissolving, should one still focus in between the eyebrows?
42:10 Is the state of samadhi and deep sleep the same?
43:33 What is the point of trying to change oneself if the goal is not person-hood? Is trying to be a better person not an ego?

Is everything in this world an imagination? 39:09 Does god decide who is a bad person? 40:28 What is the importance of darshan? 41:19 How can thoughts stay for so long if they are impermanent in nature? 45:06 How to get to a deeper place of practice? 47:46 Does going into longer meditations happen automatically in a gentle approach? 48:30 Does meditation make a person less intellectual, less joyous, more serious and socially withdrawn? 49:45 Why are most people unable to achieve what Babaji has acheived? 51:09 Babaji has to guide us to achieve Self Realization. ___ Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/ Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogi Twitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/…
