This podcast is about finding true meaning in life.
We spend a lifetime at building a persona. We spend a lifetime projecting what we want people to see. Spirituality is about getting real with who we are and expressing that.
What could we do right now to change the way the world is? What are some basic issues that hold us back from being better? This episode explores at least one.
Our spiritual journey consists of great highs and great lows. The one thing we must hold onto is what I am calling Okness! It simply means to realize everything's OK. That there is a deep satisfaction to have that is sustainable. Take a listen thanks
When we ask ourselves the question of, who am I? We tend to answer by explaining what we do. This episode and this podcast are about who we really are.
I struggled with the notion of I am for a long time. What does it mean in scripture? What does it mean in mysticism? Here's my interpretation. Thanks for listening.
I have been re-watching Bill Maher‘s interview with Joseph Campbell. And I have been reminded that there is great power in mythology and metaphor. As a matter of fact, they may be the language of spirituality.
In a world where we are constantly dumbfounded, by what we see people believe, there is a reason people believe certain things In this episode, we look at that reason.
When we spiritually awake and we find ourselves looking at the world objectively. It's a strange feeling! Take a listen thanks
If at the current time you're feeling very concerned and very worried there's a reason for that. There's a way to understand it. Thanks for listening!
There are some things that get our way, spiritually. Sometimes, even the successful things in life can be a hindrance.
This episode is an episode of encouragement. When we live out of the best of who we can be in any given moment, it transforms the world. When we live out of the better angels of our nature, as Abraham Lincoln said, that is when we are truly who we are. It's not about being perfect!
In this episode, we look at what we find when we look for meeting.
We live in a world that is disconnected from itself. Because of that we can create a reality to preserve our perceived reality. The problem is, how we understand reality is often devoid of our own authenticity. And thus, we create a false reality, and or we trench the false reality even further into the psyche of humans.
The false reality thrives on planting ideas in people‘s minds that perpetuates itself. It does not do this out of its own consciousness. It does it out of our consciousness because we are indeed the creators of the false reality.
You and I, as conscious human beings have a great power at hand. The power to create the circumstances and the reality of our life. We cannot create everything, but we can create a better life.
In this episode, we look at the world that we have created from our false sense of self. And when we see it for the falsity that it is, we then can begin to create something more true and more authentic.
In this episode, we look at finding true balance from the perspective of good intention. From the perspective of knowing one's self, ones authentic self is the only way to find balance and change your life.
This is my attempt to explain what I'm talking about in the shortest amount of time using the most economical use of words.
In this episode, we look at our addiction and our dependence to other people's approval. There is an edit around 11 1/2 minutes due to an interruption.
How do we know we are becoming authentic? How do we know where we are at on the path? How do we know how much work we have to do spiritually? Hopefully this helps answer some of these questions.
This is part three of a three part series. How did we get here? How do we live here? And where do we go from here? Take a listen thanks!
This episode is part two of a three part episode on how being spiritual in the modern world. In this part of the three part series, we look at who we can be here and now to help affect change.
In this episode, we begin at three part series on the collective spiritual experience that we are in right now. We humans are experiencing an extraordinary time of disconnection. A collective dark night of the soul if you will. How did we get here? Will be the first episode. Then we will talk about what it means to be present here. And then we will talk about the ways in which we might make things better.
One of the largest obstacles on our spiritual journey is how we perceive ourselves. We have spent a lifetime convincing ourselves that we are something. And we may even have some good aspects to who we are. But we still have to ask that existential question of; who am I?
In this life, we will be tired. The question is are we tired because we are living out of substance or are we retired because we are living a shallow life?
In this episode, we look at how we must rewire and retool everything about us. And that's hard.
Why do you think like you think?Why do you act like you act? Why do you perceive reality the way you perceive? Take a listen, thanks
In many religions, we are told that we must leave or even hate the people around us in order to find enlightenment. Our family, our friends, etc. In finding meaning that is not true. As a matter of fact, we must be in those relationships to find ourselves. Take a listen thanks
What does it mean to keep things real? What does it mean to live where things are real? Here's my opinion about that topic.
On the spiritual journey, we must accept that we must keep moving spiritually. That we will take many steps, but all steps begin with one step. Take a listen thanks!
Our spiritual journey is not completely about our conceptual thought. Philosophizing and thinking deep they are important. But they are limited. Our real destination is experience.
In this episode, we look at how we have made spirituality a transactional pursuit.
When we lead a spiritual life, we begin to exercise those old demons. We begin to get rid of the things that aren't important. And what may have been important to us at one point becomes not important. The question is what are those things? What do we need to move away from to continue to grow?
If this episode, we look at how people are trying to pin identities honest all the time. They do that because they don't know themselves, and they have existential worry about life.
In this episode, we begin a four part series on being balanced as a human, which is in fact being balanced spiritually. They are creativity, sexuality, our emotional state and our physical state. Take a listen thanks.
The false reality that we have created is built upon things like living in shame and guilt. Part of spiritual growth is understanding that we make mistakes for ourselves and forgiving others and keep moving. Let it go!
In this episode, we revisit our most listened to episode called the theory. We look at it from a different perspective and from four years of time passed. This is as succinct away of me explaining finding meaning as I can do. Take a listen, thanks for your time.
On our spiritual journey, we are asked to evaluate and examine every aspect of our life. Sometimes we're asked to walk away from things that we believe to be precious and important. That's a murky place spiritually.
We can never forget my friends that part of the human journey is to experience pleasure. Part of the human journey is to experience satisfaction. Part of the human journey is to find balance of expression. Take a listen thanks!
In our lives, we have been traumatized. In our lives, we have traumatized others. What do we do with that?
We as a species have learned to live from a team mentality. Unfortunately, we refuse often to evolve past that and to see the unity of all humanity.
One of the fundamental qualities of spirituality is to admit we don't know everything. One of the qualities that were taught as human beings is to say that we do know everything. Take a listen.
Have you ever wondered why sometimes we think to ourselves everything‘s going wrong? There's a reason for that kind of thinking. Or have you ever thought to yourself? I can do no wrong? There's a reason for that kind of thinking. Take a listen thanks
In this episode, we do a little refresher course on finding meaning. I do that through the narrative of my story. I hope that you find it useful.
Why do we act in certain ways? Why do we insist that certain groups of people behave in certain ways? Take a listen thanks.
Spirituality is about self discovery. We often believe ourselves to be what the world has told us we are. Spirituality is about digging through those things getting rid of them and discovering your self. Who are you really?
Friends, we live in a reality where we based our identity on comparing ourselves to other people, places and things. What if, we didn't have to?
