Procrastination isn't laziness — it's a signal calling you back to stillness, clarity, and aligned action.In this episode of Tao Dialogues, we explore the stillness before action — a Taoist approach to ending procrastination and perfectionism without force, pressure, or self-criticism.Rather than pushing yourself forward, this teaching invites you inward — to the sacred pause where Shen (inner wisdom and clarity) aligns and true action is born. We uncover how procrastination often arises from the Inner Child's need for safety, not a lack of discipline, and how wu wei (effortless effort) restores natural momentum.You'll learn how to:Stop fighting procrastination and listen to its messageRelease perfectionism without lowering your standardsUse stillness as preparation, not avoidanceTake aligned action that flows from truth, not fearRead the blog post that inspired this episode: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/shifting-the-storyOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

Send us a textWhat if “being loving” has nothing to do with endurance—and everything to do with clarity? We dig into the sneaky ways tolerance masquerades as compassion, how that keeps cycles of disrespect alive, and why admitting “I had an experience of cruelty” is the key that unlocks genuine forgiveness. This isn't about blame or shame. It's about seeing the belief beneath the pattern—often the idea that love must be proven through sacrifice—and letting it dissolve.We share raw, human stories from marriage, friendship, family, and work, including how the empath–narcissist loop shows up far beyond romance. You'll hear how grief, when allowed without justification, becomes a clean wave that clears fantasy and restores lightness. We explore Course in Miracles principles in a grounded way: “What I thought happened never happened” as protection for the mind, not a bypass. From there, we look at the “unwatched mind,” the habits that recreate the same dynamic with different faces, and how to collapse a pattern so it doesn't require perpetual forgiveness.Expect practical shifts: recognizing calls for love versus tolerating harm, setting boundaries that reduce guilt for everyone, and dropping the ego's equation of love with endurance. We question media-fueled sides and the conditioning that keeps us divided, returning instead to presence, trust, and the relief of not controlling outcomes. When we stop performing worthiness and start honoring the signals in our body, relationships change form naturally—sometimes deepening, sometimes ending—always moving toward more honesty and ease.If this resonates, follow along for ACIM deep dives, fresh writings, and bonus audios.

Voice for the Voiceless: Over seven decades of struggle with China for my land and my people. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

When James Smith first heard about mirror bacteria, he was sceptical. But within two weeks, he'd dropped everything to work on it full time, considering it the worst biothreat that he'd seen described. What convinced him?Mirror bacteria would be constructed entirely from molecules that are the mirror images of their naturally occurring counterparts. This seemingly trivial difference creates a fundamental break in the tree of life. For billions of years, the mechanisms underlying immune systems and keeping natural populations of microorganisms in check have evolved to recognise threats by their molecular shape — like a hand fitting into a matching glove.Learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/js26Mirror bacteria would upend that assumption, creating two enormous problems:Many critical immune pathways would likely fail to activate, creating risks of fatal infection across many species.Mirror bacteria could have substantial resistance to natural predators: for example, they would be essentially immune to the viruses that currently keep bacteria populations in check. That could help them spread and become irreversibly entrenched across diverse ecosystems.Unlike ordinary pathogens, which are typically species-specific, mirror bacteria's reversed molecular structure means they could potentially infect humans, livestock, wildlife, and plants simultaneously. The same fundamental problem — reversed molecular structure breaking immune recognition — could affect most immune systems across the tree of life. People, animals, and plants could be infected from any contaminated soil, dust, or species.The discovery of these risks came as a surprise. The December 2024 Science paper that brought international attention to mirror life was coauthored by 38 leading scientists, including two Nobel Prize winners and several who had previously wanted to create mirror organisms.James is now the director of the Mirror Biology Dialogues Fund, which supports conversations among scientists and other experts about how these risks might be addressed. Scientists tracking the field think that mirror bacteria might be feasible in 10–30 years, or possibly sooner. But scientists have already created substantial components of the cellular machinery needed for mirror life. We can regulate precursor technologies to mirror life before they become technically feasible — but only if we act before the research crosses critical thresholds. Once certain capabilities exist, we can't undo that knowledge.Addressing these risks could actually be very tractable: unlike other technologies where massive potential benefits accompany catastrophic risks, mirror life appears to offer minimal advantages beyond academic interest.Nonetheless, James notes that fewer than 10 people currently work full-time on mirror life risks and governance. This is an extraordinary opportunity for researchers in biosecurity, synthetic biology, immunology, policy, and many other fields to help solve an entirely preventable catastrophe — James even believes the issue is on par with AI safety as a priority for some people, depending on their skill set.The Mirror Biology Dialogues Fund is hiring!Deputy director: https://80k.info/mbdfddOperations lead: https://80k.info/mbdfopsExpression of interest for other roles: https://80k.info/mbdfeoiThis episode was recorded on November 5-6, 2025.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Who's James Smith?

Send us a textGrief doesn't start with a story—it starts as a feeling that we rush to explain. From three quiet days of no notifications to a New Year's dance-floor synchronicity, we unpack how loss, sweetness, envy, and scarcity rise first, and how the mind stitches them to convenient narratives. When we flip that script and simply watch, patterns surface on their own: resistance to being seen, the tug of fantasy, the fear of not-enough. The relief isn't in fixing feelings—it's in relaxed, honest attention.We go deep on relationships as living mirrors. Instead of making a confession to the person we think caused our pain, we explore a gentler path: stop, look, listen. Choose who you're looking with—ego or Spirit—and let the next step reveal itself. Money becomes a neutral symbol, not a verdict. Scarcity loosens when trust grows. Timelines and choices feel less linear and more like threads you can stop gripping. And yes, we talk sex: why fantasy numbs presence, how grasping narrows awareness, and how real connection expands when we drop performance and return to the senses. Annoyance, “robotic” moments, missed strokes—all become invitations to laugh, breathe, and reconnect.This isn't bypass. It's practical forgiveness that you can use anywhere: at a coffee shop when the machine breaks, in bed when the mind chases an outcome, or when envy whispers that someone else got the life you wanted. We share the “succubus” dynamic that often hijacks fresh openings, and how remembering a single purpose—letting Spirit repurpose everything—keeps you anchored. The takeaway is simple and bold: every upset is a doorway. Relax, notice, forgive, and let joy return. If this lands, subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review telling us which pattern you're ready to retire.Support the show

Learn why you believe something is wrong with you or that success feels unsafe — this is the Inner Child vow you never questioned.In this episode of Tao Dialogues, we explore The Inner Child's vow — an unconscious belief formed in childhood that can create self-doubt, anxiety, and self-sabotage, even when life is going well. Through Taoist wisdom, wu wei (effortless effort), and Shen spirituality, we gently uncover how this survival vow shaped our behaviour, and how it can be dissolved without force, self-criticism, or confrontation. This dialogue is for anyone ready to release old conditioning, trust life again, and return to alignment, flow, and authenticity. Nothing within you is broken. This is a return — not a repair.Read the blog post that inspired this episode:https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/the-inner-childs-vowOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

Brazilian guitarist and composer Chico Pinheiro joins Backstage Bay Area to talk about his musical journey, his duo collaboration with Vinicius Cantuária, and the stories behind his compositions “City of Dreams” and “Estrada Real” ahead of their upcoming SFJAZZ performances.A DownBeat Rising Star guitarist, Pinheiro reflects on his early start as a working musician in São Paulo, how Jimi Hendrix first pulled him to the guitar, and why “fun” has always been central to his artistic philosophy. He also explores the emotional geography behind “City of Dreams,” written during his move from São Paulo to New York, and the historical resonance of “Estrada Real,” inspired by Brazil's colonial-era gold route.Pinheiro also shares how his partnership with Vinicius Cantuária grew from admiration into a deep musical simpático, and what audiences can expect from their intimate duo sets—original music, Brazilian classics, Jobim, and spontaneous interplay shaped by close listening.

Send us a textWhat if the “demons” you glimpse in the corner of your eye are just repetitive attack thoughts asking to be seen? This conversation travels from a quiet lakeside room to the most charged places in the heart, showing how relationships mirror our unwatched mind and how real peace arrives when we stop trying to fix people and start listening for guidance. We unpack masculine–feminine dynamics, the hooks that appear in close intimacy, and the subtle ways neediness turns love into a transaction.Through stories of a lava evacuation, near-violence diffused by presence, and the courageous choice to end a decades-long marriage, we explore the practice of staying in the eye of the storm. Apparitions, archons, and “dark spirits” become metaphors for looping thoughts; when we look at them without fear, they dissolve. From there, we pivot into daily frictions—trash in the car, a partner's low mood, family gossip—and use them as micro-trainings for forgiveness that collapses time rather than circles it endlessly.We also redefine holy relationship as a shared purpose, not a romantic label. A mighty companion meets you in innocence, asks “How can I help?” and joins you in remembering the truth when ego stories bite. That shift loosens sentimental attachment, frees us from productivity myths, and opens space for inspired action that feels anointed—whether that's a hard conversation, a gentle exit, or a joyful hug. If you've ever felt trapped by patterns, haunted by thoughts, or torn between comfort and depth, this talk offers clear, practical mind training to move from transaction to truth.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway. Then tell us: what pattern are you ready to release next?Support the show

Send us a textStart with still water, end with laughter. Across two rich hours, we question what productivity even means and swap the hustle for miracle-mindedness: seeing thoughts arise, letting feelings be felt, and choosing the peace of God right now. I share how supply shows up when we stop gripping, why “you need do nothing” isn't avoidance, and how trust quietly multiplies our loaves and fishes when the mind releases plans and panic.We wander, honestly, through the terrain of desire, romance, and boundaries. I talk through a messy dynamic—neediness, pullback, fantasy—and how labeling people cements pain. Clean boundaries don't punish; they simply stop feeding a pattern that doesn't reflect truth. Regret gets a gentle audit, too: it isn't caused by what happened last week; it's an ancient echo asking to be seen and released. Keep the regret and you repeat it. Forgive it and you turn the page.We also unpack sex, fantasy, and sensation with candor. Fantasy is a substitute for joining; it dulls presence and complicates love. Pleasure deepens when it's an expression, not a bargaining chip. The same clarity heals the body story: symptoms lose their “cause” when we drop fear narratives and rest in causeless peace. And when harm seems to happen, we name it out loud, refuse secrecy, and then look with Christ's vision so only love remains. That's the practice threaded through everything: watch the mind without fear, forgive what never truly occurred, and let laughter end the world's spell.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who's ready to need less and feel more, and leave a review telling us which belief about love or lack you're questioning today.Support the show

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism. In this Stoic Quotes edition, we reflect on Seneca's On Anger, Book III, where he reports Aristotle's concern that, without anger, the mind becomes “indifferent to great endeavors.” Seneca, Dialogues and Essays, On Anger, 3Seneca introduces this idea to question it. For the Stoics, anger is not a source of strength but a disturbance of reason. It clouds judgment and pulls us away from deliberate, ethical action. The greatest endeavor is not an external achievement, but the cultivation of character. Virtue does not need anger to motivate it.This view runs throughout Stoic philosophy. Epictetus urges us to examine impressions before giving assent, and Marcus Aurelius reminds himself to act without bitterness. Through the three Stoic disciplines, anger reflects misplaced desire, unexamined assent, and impulsive action.In practice, this means noticing anger early, pausing before reacting, and questioning the judgments behind it. Calm commitment to virtue proves far more powerful than anger ever could.For more, check out this related article with quotes on anger and self-control:https://viastoica.com/10-seneca-quotes-on-anger/And if you're looking for more Stoic sayings, visit viastoica.com, where you'll find hundreds of quotes with full references to the original texts:https://viastoica.com/stoic-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/marcus-aurelius-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/epictetus-quoteshttps://viastoica.com/seneca-quotesMake sure to subscribe for more Stoic Quotes episodes every Friday, as well as our Tuesday interviews and longer discussions.Support the showhttps://viastoica.comhttps://viastoica.com/stoic-life-coachinghttps://viastoica.com/benny-vonckenhttps://x.com/ViaStoicainfo@viastoica.comProduced by: https://badmic.com

Send us a textWhat if the fastest way to peace isn't more learning, but more willingness? We open with a rain-soaked, cedar-scented snapshot from the Pacific Northwest and then dive straight into the heart of our practice: letting the mind's patterns reveal themselves without fear, defense, or control. Rather than forcing outcomes, we explore how to live from command—the effortless extension of love that quietly reorganizes perception—while releasing the ego's compulsion to manage every variable.We trace a powerful thread through the “I and I” relationship: the aspectless source and the individuated self. When they feel close, life becomes ecstatic, natural, and generous. From that closeness, we revisit world “problems” like killing, climate, and conflict without hardening into blame or superiority. Instead of adding density to dense topics, we reframe them as projections of a secret belief in threat, and let awareness do what willpower never can.Along the way we unpack people pleasing and guilt, the trap of fantasy, and the myth of private thoughts. We talk about why sickness narratives stick, how symptoms mirror believed guilt, and how gentle responsibility dissolves them without shame. Diet becomes a surprising teacher: no food saves or condemns you, and quantification only tightens the body-concept. Bless your experience, and behavior shifts on its own. We also share how to plan life's particulars while leaving miracles unplanned, and how ACIM practice can turn into identity if we chase methods instead of choosing forgiveness now.If you're ready to trade striving for grace, control for command, and narratives for direct seeing, this conversation will feel like fresh air.

Send us a textWhat if freedom isn't out there but in how you join with your own awareness right now? We dive straight into the heart of experience—how breath, sensation and energy shifts reveal the thoughts we've been believing, and how a single moment of willingness can turn contraction into clarity. From online criticism to late-night surprises, from family upheaval to money fear, we use real stories to show how every scene can serve healing when we stop trying to fix the world and start relating to our experience with curiosity and love.I share how “surprise” exposed a hidden belief about desire and safety, how resentment toward traditional roles dissolved when I owned the script I'd handed others, and how even fainting spells became invitations to see the thought “I can't handle this” and let it release. We explore practical tools: noticing breath and body cues, meeting upset with presence, and using the line I'm willing to have my thoughts corrected now. We talk sex without performance pressure, boundaries without transaction, compassion instead of correction, and the miracle of watching the energy field lighten—grace you don't earn but receive.This conversation blends spirituality and everyday life with an eye for patterns and a bias for kindness. If you've ever tried to “prove” your faith, wrestled with validation loops, or felt trapped by criticism, you'll find a gentler way to move: fewer rules, more listening; fewer defenses, more joining. Hit play to level up your perception, laugh at the ego's scripts, and practice choosing peace over pressure in the moments that matter most. If this speaks to you, subscribe, share with a friend who needs relief today, and leave a review to help others find these dialogues.Support the show
