Lewis Howes: "What is the biggest lessons that meditation or meditation practices has provided for you?"
Rick Rubin: "It provides a quiet space where the chatter. . . you realize that your thoughts are not you, and that left your own devices, there'll be a lot of voices in your head just going all the time. They're not you. They don't mean anything. They're really repetitious. They're not working in your best interest."
Lewis Howes: "So if your thoughts aren't you, then what are you?"
Rick Rubin: "I suppose you are the unchanging part of yourself that's always there, probably from the time you're born till the time you die, and maybe before and after. It's what's really inside. It's not changeable. It's what you came with."
Lewis Howes: "It's not the thinking mind. It's almost being the observer of the thoughts."
Rick Rubin: "The one who sees the thoughts. That sounds right."
Lewis Howes: "Yeah, observing thoughts."
Rick Rubin: "That's good. Thank you."
Lewis Howes: "Yeah, that's what I was hearing you say."
