Finding Meaning

We spend most of our life in a state of unawareness. We build ego and lifestyle and societies that become bubbles that we live from. It is in the acquiring of self-awareness that we burst the bubble.

In this episode, we look at the fact that, if we are on a loving spiritual journey, there will be another revelation, another paradigm another level of yourself that you will discover.

In this episode, we look at the difficulty in owning our authenticity.

What does it mean to have a peace and a serenity that you can carry with you everywhere? Take a listen! Thank you.

What does it mean to incarnate something? What does it mean to inhabit something? And what does it mean that we must inhabit love to change the world?

What does the second coming of Christ mean? What does achieving the Buddha mind mean? What is Nirvana? All of these sayings and teachings of religion have a metaphor that lead us or can lead us to truth.

In this episode, we tackle the issue of living and engaging in a world that is constructed of false reality.How can we be in the world but not of it?

It may sound cliché, but to be grateful as an important part of our spiritual journey. Although, not easy to do always.

If we can step out of our learned ideas and take an objective look. We will find, that most people worship a concept of God that they've learned.

Sisters, brothers, what's your searching for you already have. If we can clear our mind and quit living out of projections we find that which we are looking for

Spirituality is not about contemplating the nature of God or the universe. In my opinion, spirituality is about understanding who you really are.

My friend, my friends, we are constantly being told to believe this or to believe that. The question is why are people trying to convince us of things and why are we trying to convince ourselves of things? Take a listen thanks

Brothers and sisters, we live in the world of and distraction. We have to talk about what draws our attention away from our authenticity.

With 8 billion humans on this planet, we can create a reality. But, what reality do we create? One that is false or one that is authentic?

This episode is a episode that derived from a listeners question. Take a listen thanks

No matter how much you go, we live out of no matter how much false understanding of reality we acquire. In most people, their authenticity will shine through.

In this episode, we look at what the false reality consists of and our part in it.

What does it mean to be authentically in relationship? What does it mean to be in an egocentric relationship? Take a listen.

When we grow spiritually, we are learning to be something we have not been. That is difficult!

In this episode, we look at the fact that engaging life brings about spiritual growth.

Hi friends, I had time to get one more podcast before I left on my trip to Louisiana. So here's a podcast about being yourself. I will talk to you soon. Take care.

Hello dear friends. As the title of the episode contains, we will be taking a short hiatus from the podcast. I have an opportunity to go to Louisiana to do some service work for the next week. I will be taking that opportunity. Unfortunately, I will not have the capacity or the privacy to do a proper podcast. So I will get back to you in 9 to 10 days. Listen to the old catalog as a refresher. And I will talk to you in about 10 days.

Friends, there are some things we so dearly hold onto that we struggle to let go of. Even if they're destructive. We are deeply conditioned to adhere to a false reality.

The truth you seek is within you. The peace we seek is within us. The world we yearn for is within us.

I do not want to do a spirituality versus religion podcast. It's not about competition. It's about being a different places in life. So in this episode, we look at the difference between spirituality and religion. I hope it makes sense. Thanks for listening.

When we become attached to a way of being or a circumstance. That way of being or that circumstance dictates to us who we are. When the Buddha said do not attach yourself, I am convinced he is saying let things flow. Let things go when they need to be let go. That's what this episode is about.

I am convinced that we can create at least 80% of the reality of our life. The question then is from where do we create it from? From ego? Or from authentic self?

What I have been reminded of in the past five days?

If we can be grateful for things, that cultivates within us a deeper happiness than the momentary emotion we often call happiness.

As difficult as it is to understand, the goal of spirituality is to just be the authentic you that you already are. We overcomplicated as humans. The goal is to just be!

In this episode, we look at the fact that spirituality is about understanding and reprogramming the conditioned mind that we are handed. So that the true authentic self can come through and experience a greater awareness.

In this episode, we look at how identity is given to us through praise and external validation. Unfortunately, it's given to us to create a false reality in our life.

Transformation only happens with an ongoing effort on our part to facilitate it.

What does it take to create and Discover our true self? It takes spiritual work, which is repetitive work. What do humans not want to do? Repetitive work!

In this episode, we look at the emotion of anger. If we hang onto things like anger, we begin to give away our identity to the thing that we are angry with.

In this episode, we take a philosophical journey to try to understand that what we have been taught can often hold us from who we truly are.

Today is the fourth anniversary of a podcast finding meaning. And we talk about what lies at the core of what we find when we find meeting.

This is part one of a two-part series celebrating the fourth anniversary of this podcast.

We human beings, confuse, comfort, and complacency! Comfort is actually a gift of the spiritual life. To be comfortable in one's own skin to be comfortable, communicating to be comfortable in life. Complacency is the opposite. It is to accept what it is and believe that to be all that is, and that is not true. Take a listen thanks!

In the spiritual journey, we must be honest about the baggage. We need to get rid of. Things from the ego things from our past that hold us back. Take a lesson thanks

Another way to look at the spiritual life is through the eyes of technology. That is to say, you and I are programmers of our own video game. Not unlike some video games where you construct a reality, life is very much the same way. The question is, how are you programming your life? What kind of programmer are you?

When we practice being our authentic self, when we live out of our authentic self. We then produce a more authentic loving reality. You will see a difference in your life if you change the way in which you see life.

Two things are happening simultaneously in our spiritual journey. As we do the work of kindness, spiritual discipline, compassion, empathy it cultivate the ground for experience. The experience of who we truly are. So we are doing two things at once. We are having experiences of who we truly are and we are working on who we truly are at the same time.

In this episode, we look at the necessity of relationships for spiritual growth. Many times in religions we are taught that we must divest ourselves of relationships. When in actuality, we must engage in a relationship relationships for real spiritual growth.

What are the basic understandings of finding meaning? What am I talking about?

In this episode, we look at the fact that regardless of how noble or good something is in our world, it will always have within it, the false reality that it was born of. We are looking for a new way of being human in that way is found within us.

Love

The spiritual life takes perseverance. It is not an easy path. It is not something that is taken lately. If we persevere with the intent of love, we will succeed. If we persevere with the intent of living out of ego, we will fail.

This it is May 9, 2025 and yesterday a new pope was elected. So I thought I would take the opportunity of that to talk about where religion could fit and how it can't fit on our journey.

In this episode, we look at the necessity to shed our past. To let go of the weight of mistakes of our past and move into a new self.

The spiritual journey is about awakening to one's self, ones authentic self. In order to do that we must admit we don't know what we don't know.
