#20: THE LAST HACK: IN THE END THE HEART WANTS TO BE HELD | WITH INGO STOLL
How can death teach us to live more intensely? In this profound episode of Upgraded Humans, Dr Patrick Kramer and Ingo Stoll shed light on what it means to lead a fulfilled life and to be able to let go of the heart calmly at the end.
Let yourself be taken on a journey that challenges you to see death not as an enemy, but as a teacher for a more conscious life.
Perfect for anyone who is looking for more depth and serenity in dealing with finiteness - and wants to understand why the heart wants to be held at the end.
This podcast episode is all about death, dying and biohacking. Doc.Cyborg and his guest Ingo discuss the meaning of death and the human longing for immortality. Ingo, a volunteer end-of-life counsellor, shares his experiences of accompanying people in their final phase of life and tells us how he supports them.
The two talk about why death often remains a taboo subject and how you can learn to prepare for your own death. They shed light on whether it is possible to optimize the last phase of life and what role biohacking could play in this. The desire of dying people to resolve unresolved conflicts and the challenges for end-of-life carers are also discussed. They emphasise that preparation for dying and end-of-life care should start early in order to develop a more natural approach to death.
Another focus is on dealing with the death of children and the importance of traditional wisdom and rituals in modern end-of-life care. They ask themselves whether freezing the body for later resuscitation makes sense or whether the real value lies in consciously confronting one's own transience during one's lifetime.
Ingo describes that for him, physical ageing is just one level. He finds it important to discover a deeper meaning in life and ultimately to be able to let go. The episode shows that coming to terms with transience not only gives you strength, but can also contribute to a more fulfilling way of life.
Ingo reports how he receives a lot in return as an end-of-life caregiver and feels the fulfilment of doing something meaningful. Together, Doc.Cyborg and Ingo call for death to be brought more openly into society in order to enable a more peaceful and conscious experience of dying.
