- Akshay Nanavati is a US Marine veteran, entrepreneur, ultra runner, author, and alchemist of
fear. In this podcast, we talk about methods for creating some of the virtuous experiences of war without the inevitable horrors of war. We discuss the importance of the words we use and how they shape our reality, as well as tactics for transforming negative emotions into internal fortitude. Akshay was also the first person I have met to do the Darkness Retreat. His book Fearvana is available here! If my endorsement of the book isn’t enough, the forward was written by the Dalai Lama himself.

Thanks for having me on the show brother. It was a real honor
I love when a new Aubrey Podcast drops, I can just clean up the room and push play
Courage is feeling fear but follow your heart anyway - having this quote hanging all around.
Actually this fear will reduce and excitement will take over.
Feel the FEAR but do it anyway!! A life philosophy I have always found helpful. 🙏🏻
Fricken potent. This man is incredible. How many times can I get my mind blown in one podcast?! Lost count. Thank you
This is an incredibly powerful interview. Thanks for having Akshay on the podcast.
Aubrey, the production and quality of your content has been steadily evolving - thanks for this!
Incredible interview! I got a ton of insights out of this! Thank you!
Akshay is doing amazing work for our human family! Wonderful episode.
I totally agree with Akshay. This deep dive into fear right into bliss is the TRUE DEAL! Nothing else can even compare. Also as Matias De Stefano told in one of the recent Podcasts with you Aubrey, that "darkness" does only exist in the 3D World of the Human Mind , not from another higher dimension perspective! Keep up the great work Aubrey. Thanks so much for your work. PS: your Darkness Documentary is amazing! I may also soon go to do a Retreat to deepen my journey.
I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for making these awesome ideas available!
So around 15 mins in, this guy just blew my mind. Damn. ❤️
I’m only one minute in but wanna day I love what his shirt says i say that to myself every morning
I love the New intro. Thanks for sharing Aubrey!
Some things I find helpful which differ from what works for Akshay (the key is we are all different): I start with an awareness that every external identity I've been exposed to in childhood is internalized as an identity at some level. This means there is a part of me who knows I am unlovable. There's another part of me who knows I'm worthless. There's a part that knows they deserve to be punished. The reptilian bias means that these painful identities will be stronger than my empathic identities.
The challenge of trauma (i.e. relationship break-up) is that it destabilizes our current identity (pattern of thinking, feeling, speaking, doing and being). This is a big deal because a traumatized ego seeks the safety of certainty (protection from the fear of the unknown) more than it seeks happiness and joy. As a result, our traumatized ego during a time of transition will ground to our strongest, simplest identities, such as "I am unlovable, worthless and deserve punishment."
I don't find it at all helpful to expose myself to anything that strengthens or might play into those early-wound identities. Instead, I like to take a clean break for at least 30 days, with zero exposure to a past partner (I have an ending agreement I ask partners to negotiate with me at the beginning of a relationship which includes 30 days of no contact). During that time I focus intensely on building a new positive identity and seek to provide my ego with enough certainty in that identity so that the regressive identity is not as tempting to my ego if/when I re-encounter a situation that might trigger thoughts of unlovability.
The other distinction I make relates to duality continuums: We are all leaning towards one side of most continuum. However, in most cases this is a counter-balance to a subconscious experience in childhood. If I felt excessive helplessness as a traumatized infant, I will lean towards excessive control as an adolescent/grown-up until that early childhood helplessness is faced and integrated, which may never happen in our culture. When that early trauma is resolved we naturally come back to center on most continuums and until it is resolved it can be unkind to push ourselves to shift to the middle, when there is a terrified two year old in the body that has not yet received competent parenting.
Really dig the new intro! Btw you put me on too Alan Watts on an old JRE. Think it was the inception one. Any how, I've really been thinking of Alan Watts as a comedian. He's given this wild change on my way of looking at things that I really find truth in. But MAN! Does he hit you in a way at times where you just crack up. Thanks for providing me w that teacher, I never would've found out about him or Robert Greene if it wasn't for you dude. Really dig your perspectives
If you like Alan watts incorporation of comedy into his talks check out ram dass. More spiritual, less philosophical but the way he drops jokes is amazing.
You still Lieutenant Dan sir...... “Forest Gump” 👌🏼
