Podcasts about Illusion

This episode breaks down why winning in life requires standards most people can't tolerate. Being built different is about high expectations, uncomfortable environments, and an unwillingness to live average. I explain how loser mentality avoids pressure, why discipline gets labeled as “crazy,” and why anyone serious about winning must accept being misunderstood.Buy my book Above the illusion. Above the Illusion: The blueprint for mental clarity, self-respect, and irreplaceable value" is a deep exploration into the hidden forces shaping our lives – the conditioning, beliefs, and stories we've unknowingly accepted as truth.

In this episode, we unpack one of the sneakiest psychological barriers standing between you and your goals: the fear that something will be “too difficult.”Here's the truth: your brain is wired for survival, not success. Anything unfamiliar feels like a potential threat. Long before you take action, your mind exaggerates how uncomfortable, exhausting, or overwhelming something will be. Psychologists call this impact bias — our tendency to overestimate how painful or difficult a new experience will feel.Most of the “difficulty” happens in your imagination.Inside this episode, we explore:Why your brain fears difficulty before you even beginHow procrastination disguises itself as preparationThe connection between perfectionism and avoidanceThe identity stories you unconsciously tell yourselfThe Goldilocks Effect and why your brain both resists and craves challengeThe psychology behind comparing your struggle to someone else's highlight reelAnd 5 practical, science-backed steps to stop letting fear run the showYou'll learn why “hard” does not mean “impossible.”Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/vtpIdMK_A68Book your complimentary coaching session: https://calendly.com/padenbhutia-coaching/pro-bono-coaching-sessionEmail: padenbhutia@padenbhutia.com

Plenty to do on this Thursday evening, and we are going to start by playing a little catch up with an old friend we haven't had on in what seems like NINE years. I could be wrong but it's been a long while since Jordan Sather of @Destroying-the-Illusion jumped on with me, but tonight we'll talk about Cannabis Psychosis, the WHO-related stories from last night, James Van Der Beek's sad death, and more. In the second half I am crossing my fingers that Matt will show up, because I know he'll like this segment I have planned on banned Winter Olympic Sports, and other ridiculous extras.

Most people already know what they need to do — they're just avoiding the move that feels uncomfortable, lonely, and unsupported. The Uncomfortable Move is about the moment you act without reassurance, without applause, and without perfect timing. It's the decision to choose discipline over emotion, responsibility over comfort, and long-term self-respect over short-term relief. This episode breaks down why most people stay stuck, how comfort quietly delays potential, and what actually happens when you stop negotiating with who you're becoming and finally make the move that changes everything.Buy my book Above the illusion. Above the Illusion: The blueprint for mental clarity, self-respect, and irreplaceable value" is a deep exploration into the hidden forces shaping our lives – the conditioning, beliefs, and stories we've unknowingly accepted as truth.

What if language was not a tool for naming things, but a vibration of relationship? What if intelligence wasn't a human asset, but an ecological rhythm? What if consciousness is not what happens in our heads—but what happens between us, through us, with the land, with water, with wind? Come gather for a conversation with Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Cheyenne River Lakota elder, host of First Voices Radio, master musician, and steward of relational ways of knowing. Rooted in the vibrational teachings of the old Lakota language, a language shaped by Earth and used to speak with, not about, Tiokasin invites us to unlearn the dominance of human-centered thought and listen again to Earth as consciousness.

Summary In this episode of the Means of Grace podcast, Jesse Enniss, John Yeager, and Rev. Beth Crissman engage in a profound discussion about the ongoing conversation surrounding peace, particularly in the context of the upcoming 2026 Peace Conference. They explore the theme of 'Disarming Hatred' and the importance of practicing peace as a form of resistance in a world filled with division and hatred. The conversation delves into the historical context of hatred, the difference between worldly peace and the peace of Jesus, and the necessity of community and individual action in fostering compassion and understanding.

Et af de helt store svindlertricks skal i brug, da Ferdinand Waldo Demara som ung mand pludselig befinder sig i en blindgyde. Det sender ham afsted på endnu et bedragertogt, der om muligt er endnu mere dristigt end hans forrige. Han kaster sig nu ud i livet som blandt andet teologistuderende og læge - og især det sidste bringer ham ud på en færd, der er svær at begribe. Hør Peter Løhde fra Vanvittig Verdenshistorie fortælle om “The Great Imposters” improviserede operationer på sårede soldater, der til sidst fører til den store afsløring.

Do you ever get home from work exhausted… but then your brain won't stop replaying everything that happened?In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Guy Winch — psychologist, bestselling author, and the speaker behind one of the most-watched TED Talks on emotional first aid — to explain what's really happening when you “can't switch off”… and why that mental spiral is basically unpaid overtime.We break down why your mind treats rumination like you're still at work, how that quietly fuels burnout, and the practical ways to “fight back” — including a simple transition ritual that helps you shift out of work mode and actually recover (even if you're not physically tired).This episode will help you change your life by changing your mind, so you can stop doing mental overtime after work — and get your evenings (and your relationships) back.Dr. Guy Winch is a licensed psychologist and author of Mind Over Grind: How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life and Emotional First Aid.-Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction(01:08) The Illusion of Physical Exhaustion(02:53) Ruminating on Work Issues(05:58) The Impact of Overworking(08:10) Neglecting Self-Care(09:52) The Importance of Emotional Health(11:41) The Rise of Mental Health Awareness(13:16) Practical Tools for Mental Well-being(14:03) Introduction to the Free Masterclass(14:33) Guest Introduction and Background(15:03) The Psychology of Rejection(17:05) Managing Mental Resources(19:15) New Book: Mind Over Grind(23:02) The Trap of Overworking(26:36) Defining Success Beyond Professional Achievements(27:25) Balancing Work and Personal Life(29:05) The Illusion of Social Media Success(34:32) The Importance of Transition Rituals(39:13) Feeling Stuck: How to Reframe Your Story(45:38) Final Thoughts and AdviceGet the FREE Move Your Mind Masterclass here:go.nickbracks.com/moveyourmindAccess FREE Move Your Mind training here:https://go.moveyourmind.io/trainingConnect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with Dr. Guy:Website: https://www.guywinch.com/Check out his Book: https://www.guywinch.com/books/mind-over-grind/ Hosted on Acast.

In Episode 030 of DEFCON ZERQ, Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid dive into the psychology behind power structures, perception management, and the subtle mechanisms used to manufacture consensus. The discussion explores how narrative control operates through emotional triggers, fear conditioning, and repetition, shaping public reaction long before facts are fully understood. The hosts examine how institutions rely on confusion, moral framing, and manufactured urgency to drive behavior, while encouraging listeners to recognize patterns instead of reacting impulsively. They analyze how digital culture amplifies outrage cycles, how groupthink is reinforced, and why psychological resilience is a critical skill in modern information warfare. Throughout the episode, Alpha and Josh emphasize mental discipline, self-awareness, and the importance of detaching from engineered emotional responses. Rather than chasing every headline, they argue for slowing down, studying tactics, and understanding how power actually maintains itself. A sharp, tactical conversation focused on discernment, psychological strength, and recognizing the illusion of control before it controls you.

https://www.the-christ.net/blog/the-way-of-the-mysticIn this "Mission Accomplished" Saturday morning movie session, David Hoffmeister uses a mini-movie to illuminate a radical spiritual breakthrough: the realization that our innocence is already complete. The narrative, condensed from multiple action films, serves as a powerful metaphor for the ego's complex plots and the Holy Spirit's swift undoing of them. David focuses on two pivotal metaphysical themes:The Illusion of Time and Control: Drawing on A Course in Miracles Lesson 158, David explains that "time is a trick, a sleight of hand." He emphasizes that the ego uses the past and future to distract us from the Holy Instant, where our safety lies. By letting go of the need to control the "script" of our lives, we discover that the mission of salvation is already accomplished through the Atonement.Transcending the Ego's Distractions: The session explores how the mind is often fooled into believing it is a separate, physical entity at the mercy of external circumstances. David invites us to "peer behind the curtain" and see that all conflict—whether a nuclear threat on screen or a personal grievance—is merely a projection of a split mind.Through his commentary, David guides listeners to hear the gentle whisper of Jesus saying, "Mission Accomplished," allowing us to surrender our worries and judgments in favor of the happiness that is our natural inheritance.These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded February 7, 2025Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

Distraction is one of the most universal—and misunderstood—experiences in meditation.We sit down to practice with sincere intention, and before long the mind wanders. Emotions pull us in. Sounds and events from the world around us intrude. And often, we quietly conclude that something has gone wrong.In this episode, Craig takes a closer look at distraction—not as a problem to solve, but as an experience worth understanding more deeply.In the first part of the episode, Craig explores how we tend to relate to distraction in meditation, and why that may matter more than we realize.He then responds to questions from two listeners. One is concerned about a wandering mind and the other describes trying to meditate amid noise and chaos.Together, these reflections invite a deeper inquiry into what meditation is really asking of us when conditions aren't ideal—and when distraction feels unavoidable.To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

Personal Flow and Attachment Soo Kim expressed a feeling of being on the "verge of something". Jevon Perra commented that Soo Kim was doing great with "not attaching to any outcome and just flowing non-judgmentally," which Jevon Perra admitted they struggle with, though they are aware of their attachments. They agreed that the unawareness of one's "craziness" is what causes trouble.Judgment and Sincerity Jevon Perra stated that they constantly have judgments, including about people who are "happy nice," like their Mormon friends, where they don't perceive sincerity. Soo Kim related to the judgment of insincerity, citing it as a major reason for a "rupture with Leila," because they judged her actions as insincere and fake. Jevon Perra agreed that having the data to be "right about my perceptions" is not the ultimate goal because their perceptions and best-case scenarios do not lead to ultimate happiness or peace.Contentment as the Highest State Jevon Perra asserted that the pursuit of achievement and accomplishment does not bring unending happiness and bliss, noting that past moments of having everything only brought momentary satisfaction. They suggested that the "other game" is to simply be content, which they considered "probably the highest state," because if one is content, their apparent energetic state does not matter as much.Illusion of the Singular Self and Happiness Set Point Soo Kim discussed the "illusion of the singular self," stating that even within a personality construct, there are multiple aspects, and the matter is which one one attaches to. Jevon Perra referenced a psychology book, The How of Happy, which suggests that most of one's happiness is set by genetics and other propensities, but about 30% comes from choices made, specifically one's speech and thoughts.The Meaning of Seriousness When asked where they fall on the happiness scale, Jevon Perra described Soo Kim as a "princess warrior type," serious about what is real and true, which Jevon Perra relates to. Jevon Perra defined being serious as meaning "life and death," explaining that to be serious is to stop playing, believe something will kill you, and stop being loose, unguarded, and oneself. They also related seriousness to suffering, where one stops "trusting God" and takes matters into their own hands, leading to suffering.The Enneagram Type Three Racket Jevon Perra shared that as an Enneagram Type Three, they are a performer who struggles to know what is truly them, losing themselves in their performances because they prioritize achievement. They explained that a "racket" is a game played to hide the "real business," drawing an analogy to a butcher shop fronting an alcohol operation during prohibition. Jevon Perra stated that their current "racket" involves engaging in human suffering to be relatable to others, but they get lost in the pain of the character they are playing.Connection versus Attachment Soo Kim questioned the sincerity of relating to people without "getting sucked in," calling it a form of insincerity and faking. Jevon Perra made a distinction between trying to relate and trying to connect, emphasizing that needing to connect is also an attachment. Jevon Perra described extreme attachment as the "needy" individual whose outward show of love is experienced as taking, not giving, because they are trying to "vampire" or suck life from the other.The Origin of Sincerity Discussing sincerity, Jevon Perra provided the etymology of the word, explaining that it is Latin for "without wax," originating from the practice of repairing broken marble statues with wax and dust. To be sincere means not hiding brokenness or what one does not want others to see; it means being transparent. Jevon Perra contrasted this with insincere interactions, such as someone being overly nice, suggesting that something is being hidden.The Progression of Relationships and Sincerity Jevon Perra discussed that normal human interactions are permission-based, with gradual sharing of more personal or "sketchy" information. They noted that always presenting only the cordial side is insincere, and relationships must progress, or the lack of progression signals an issue. If cracks are not shown willingly, Jevon Perra cautioned that they will be revealed through pressure or conflict, which is hurtful.Childhood Dynamics and Emotional Triggers Soo Kim related Jevon Perra's observations about insincerity to their own experience of being triggered and wanting to tell others how they were not hearing them, which mirrors a childhood dynamic where they learned defense mechanisms like taking things seriously to feel safe. Soo Kim felt their mother needed them to behave a certain way to feel like a "good mom," leading to a dynamic where they felt unable to be themself.The Attachment to Outcomes Jevon Perra shared their current personal lesson, which is the triggering belief that they "have to take care of people," specifically their family. This belief leads to an attachment to assuring outcomes, such as having "enough money" or ensuring their kids are not hurt, which causes incredible unrest and suffering because they try to love and attack their family at the same time by preventing harm. Jevon Perra identified the solution as releasing the attachment to outcomes, which they believe are already set by a script and soul contracts.Contentment through Trust and Release Jevon Perra concluded that the stress of trying to assure outcomes has no bearing on what happens, only providing the experience of suffering instead of contentment. True contentment comes from "trusting God," which means realizing that everything is perception. They explained that every perception creates a separate identity, which is the world of attachment and suffering.Maya and Lowering Consciousness Jevon Perra introduced the concept of "Maya" as the energy of separation that draws consciousness to lower its resonance to operate in the "super low frequency called personality called the body". They observed that the more aware they become, the more painful it is to be "a little bit off," explaining that their awareness makes them suffer more, not because awareness is negative, but because the subtle disturbance is now enough to bother them.The Princess and the Pea Parable Jevon Perra used the fairy tale of "The Princess and the Pea" to illustrate that spiritual growth makes one more sensitive to subtle disturbances, requiring less and less to bother them. They stated that the spiritual game is one of "less and less" and "letting go game, not a grab more game," leading to the realization that one is already content.The Selfish Gain of Sincerity Jevon Perra stated that the "true work" is realizing one is working for themself, as their personality's selfish gains will not bring ultimate contentment or peace. They observed that both the rich and the poor can be happy, and happiness comes from "stopping of the searching".Releasing Fear and Insanity Jevon Perra spoke about their current situation of quitting a job and not having an income, which triggers their fear that their family will "die" and it is their fault. They shared the experience of releasing attachments while on vacation, which instantly brought freedom and contentment to their life. They concluded that their ultimate insanity is thinking they are the body and personality that wants accomplishments, and the greatest enemy to the separate identity is love, because love is "all inclusive and abundant".Managing Seriousness and Awareness Jevon Perra discussed how unaware they are of many things, using the example of their watch light in sleep mode. They asked Soo Kim if their suggestion to "tread lightly" and "be innocent of the danger" was meant to combat an overly serious nature. Soo Kim confirmed that their goal was to combat their "over seriousness".Embracing Goofiness and Non-Attachment Jevon Perra shared that they sometimes go from being overly serious to being "overly goofy," which they find fun and a "light life". They concluded that life is not so serious because "you can't die," and if they lose their accomplishments, they asserted, "I'm not my accomplishments".

Wie viel politische Stabilität gibt es in Syrien? Wie sicher ist das Land? Und wie ist es, dorthin zurückzukehren? Christoph Zotter erzählt in dieser Folge von syrischen Lebensrealitäten und den tiefen Spuren, die der Krieg hinterlassen hat.

In this season finale, Kristina and Anna reflect on a pivotal personal update, then bring the Inner Villain framework full circle. The conversation weaves lived experience, healthcare advocacy, boundaries, emotional embodiment, and spiritual bypassing into a practical, grounded close to the season.This episode is about changing the script. Not by bypassing reality, but by meeting it honestly.Opening Update. Surgery, Uncertainty, and Narrative ChoiceKristina shares an update on a planned surgical biopsy that ultimately could not proceed. Rather than framing this as loss or avoidance, she explores how preparing for surgery moved a deeper story forward. Fear of death, fear of leaving family, and inherited narratives were confronted directly.Key themes:Reconciling with uncertaintyHow preparation itself can be transformationalChoosing meaning without denialLetting go of the need for visible “proof” of healingHealthcare Reality. Advocacy and Systemic Blind SpotsThe conversation shifts into a candid discussion about healthcare systems, fallibility, and the importance of self-advocacy.Highlights include:Why patients must advocate for themselvesThe power of asking providers to document refusalsGendered dismissal in medical settingsInsurance denial as a systemic issue, not a personal failureThis section grounds the episode firmly in lived reality before returning to psychological and spiritual frameworks.Control vs Illusion. Anchor and DriftAnna revisits a core distinction from earlier episodes: control-based villains versus illusion-based villains, reframed as Anchor and Drift.Key insight:Anchors grow through joy, movement, and emotional flowDrifts grow through responsibility, structure, and self-anchoringThis reframing avoids gendered language while clarifying relational dynamics across work, parenting, money, and intimacy.The 12 Steps as Villain WorkThe discussion explores how 12-step frameworks function as deep transformational tools within the Inner Villain system.Key points:Surrender as medicine for controlResponsibility as medicine for illusionWhy hybrid villains often benefit from bothAddiction, avoidance, and invisibility as shared rootsObedient Critic. Control in Everyday LifeBoth hosts share personal examples of how the Obedient Critic shows up in domestic life, hosting, and expectations.Topics include:Silent rules and unspoken standardsJudgment versus communicationHumor as a bridge away from controlLearning to state needs without shame or superiorityVengeful Martyr. Boundaries and BurnoutThe conversation turns to over-giving, over-servicing, and emotional exhaustion.Key themes:How silencing needs creates resentmentWhy boundaries are emotional, not intellectualAnger as an early boundary signalBoredom as a late-stage warning signBoundaries as other people's growth edgesBoth hosts share work-related examples where firmer boundaries led to more sustainable energy and better outcomes.Invisible Destroyer (The Nothing). Spiritual Bypass and EmbodimentThis section explores how spirituality and busyness can become tools for avoidance.Key insights:Toxic positivity as emotional suppressionRegulation mistaken for constant calmBusyness as grief avoidanceActivity as bypass versus activity as embodimentThe difference between thinking emotions and feeling themKristina speaks to slowing down as a path to embodiment, while Anna highlights movement and physical activation as her gateway to emotional truth.Hero Energy. Becoming EmbodiedThe episode closes by naming the hero of the Invisible Destroyer: the Embodied.Practices discussed:Slowing down to feel rather than interpretLetting emotions unfold without reframingMoving the body to access grief, anger, and joyStaying present without transcending the human experienceSeason Reflection and ClosingThe hosts reflect on the impact of the Inner Villain work over the season and the relief of stepping out of victim and villain identities altogether.The season ends not with answers, but with better questions.And with permission to be human.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode, I break down the moment where everything starts to change: when you stop seeing yourself the same and decide to become someone different.

When that internal switch flips, your actions follow naturally not forced, not hyped, but aligned.

Why does silence feel awkward to some people… and respectful to others? In this episode, we break down one of the most misunderstood aspects of human communication: high-context vs low-context cultures — and how it shapes what we perceive as politeness, rudeness, confidence, or even arrogance. From the UK, US, Japan, Australia, and beyond, we explore: Why silence creates anxiety in Western cultures How hierarchy changes what people are allowed to say Why humour works in some cultures — and backfires in others How politeness acts as a bridge across cultural divides If you've ever thought “that person was rude” — this conversation might completely change how you see people… and yourself.

Welcome to Here's the Caveat.Today we're talking about The Illusion of Wisdom.In an age where insight can be generated, polished, and posted in seconds, it's never been easier to sound wise without ever earning it. But pressure has a way of exposing the difference.This episode is about borrowed wisdom, earned wisdom, and the leaders still standing when things break.Let's get into it.

In Episode 18 of The No Treason Podcast, Jonathan Drake continues a deep examination of Lysander Spooner's arguments on law, justice, and the role of the jury, picking up where the discussion on oaths left off. This episode focuses on the historical oaths taken by jurors, judges, and kings, and what those oaths reveal about who was truly meant to judge the law. The conversation explores why oaths alone cannot prevent tyranny, how trial by jury functioned as a check on legislative and royal power, and why judges were historically sworn to ignore statutes that violated common law. Drake walks through recorded coronation oaths, statutes from Edward III, and commentary from Blackstone and Lord Somers to illustrate how law was understood as something discovered through conscience rather than dictated by authority. The episode also addresses modern misconceptions about elections, judicial power, and legal legitimacy, arguing that today's system replaces true jury judgment with procedural control. Throughout, the discussion emphasizes natural law, accountability, and why enforcement of justice was intended to rest with the people, not the state.

In this episode, we're joined by Andrew Genovese, dimensional breathwork guide, inner child + shadow work teacher, and a fierce advocate for inner sovereignty and soul reclamation — for a grounded, no-BS conversation about what spirituality actually is (and what it definitely isn't). Andrew shares his personal hero's journey…from years of nomadic travel and existential dread, to a full-blown awakening catalyzed by loss, collapse, and deep surrender. He walks us through the real mechanics of transformation: nervous system capacity, embodiment, and the willingness to face your own darkness instead of hiding behind slogans. We go straight at the modern “spiritual scene” — the robes, the persona, the Love & Light bypassing and why real awakening doesn't look like anything…except becoming radically, unapologetically yourself. If you've ever felt allergic to the performance of spirituality and hungry for something with substance, this episode is your compass.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:37) Opening Conversation(01:13) Exclusive Membership Announcements(03:34) Andrew Genovese's Hero's Journey(09:10) His Defining Psychedelic Experience(15:21) Reflecting on Childhood and Family Dynamics(28:47) What Is Spiritual Awakening Really?(38:18) The Illusion of Perfection(45:36) Living with an Open Heart & Navigating Life's Challenges(01:00:19) The Role of Nervous System in Personal Growth(01:06:30) True Leadership and Authenticity(01:11:05) Understanding Personality and Birth Cards(01:13:33) The Concept of Downloading Codes(01:15:55) Questioning Spiritual Language and Authenticity(01:25:56) Dimensional Breath Work and Personal Growth(01:36:44) The Hero's Journey and Self-EsteemGuest Linkshttps://www.andrewgenovesehealing.com/ https://www.instagram.com/breathehealevolve/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.The most dangerous misalignment doesn't explode; it drifts. Careers accelerate, reputations solidify, and bank accounts grow while home life slips into management mode—efficient, coordinated, but emotionally thin. We shine a light on that quiet distance and talk candidly about why capable men tolerate personal drift far longer than they would ever allow professional drift on their teams.We start by naming the gap: the low-grade unease that surfaces during unstructured time, the struggle to recall the last weekend of true presence, and the way “it's just a season” becomes a lifestyle. From there, we unpack the double standard that rules so many high performers. At work, drift is unacceptable, addressed early, and supported by advisors. At home, drift is understandable, explained away, and managed alone. We examine how leadership at home gets downgraded to logistics, how children become schedules instead of stories, and how spouses adapt to partial presence until resignation replaces hope.Then we get practical. We stress that alignment is not a reward for perfect timing; it is a standard upheld amid complexity. We offer sharp questions that force clarity: What have you called temporary that's now normal? Where are you managing instead of addressing? Which leadership qualities you're known for at work are absent at home? We show how climate forms—how unresolved tension sets the emotional temperature—and why outside perspective turns intention into calibration. Professionals seek coaching to win at work; serious men invite honest mirrors to win at life.If you're ready to let your standards travel from boardroom to breakfast table, this conversation is your turning point.

And how might we find sources of life inside ourselves and around us that support our participation, relationship and contribution, especially when we are feeling afraid or disoriented?

When we know that our entire existence is founded on freak occurrences and improbable coincidences. That we wouldn't be here at all if it weren't for these curious twists of fate. That there are human beings on what we call our planet, that we can move around on a rotating sphere in a vast universe full of inconceivably large bodies comprised of elements so small that the mind simply cannot comprehend how small and how many they are. That in this unfathom-able vastness, these infinitesimal elements are still able to hold themselves together. That we manage to stay afloat. That we exist at all. That each of us has come into being as only one of untold possibilities. The unthinkable is something we carry with us always. It has already happened: we are improbable, we have emerged from a cloud of unbelievable coincidences.Anyone would think that this knowledge would equip us in some small way to face the improbable. But the opposite appears to be the case. We have grown accustomed to living with that knowledge without feeling dizzy every morning, and instead of moving around warily and tentatively, in constant amazement, we behave as if nothing has happened, take the strangeness of it all for granted and get dizzy if life shows itself as it truly is: improbable, unpredictable, remarkable.Solvej Balle, from ‘On the Calculation of Volume', Vol 1Photo by Mario Losereit on Unsplash---Join Us Live in 2026Professional Coaching Course, begins July 2-5 2026, OnlineOur year long programme, an opportunity to learn to support others in deep, life giving discovery and development.You can hear us talk about the programme here:www.turningtowards.life/coachingAnd you can read more about it here:www.wearethirdspace.org/professional-coaching-courseTurning Towards Life Live Season 2, from March 2026Our Turning Towards Life live programme of community, learning and reflection runs in six month seasons, in person on Zoom once a month.

In this episode I break down what it actually means to have skin in the game—why people who have nothing at stake stay disconnected, selfish, and short-sighted, and how that mindset leads to weak decisions and empty lives. I explain what real leverage looks like in the real world: building alliances instead of chasing popularity, creating wealth for optionality and protection, caring about family, community, and country, and making moves that have long-term, generational impact. This isn't about motivation or discipline—it's about responsibility, ownership, and thinking like a leader who understands that when you're truly invested, your actions carry weight and your life stops being surface-level.Buy my book Above the illusion. Above the Illusion: The blueprint for mental clarity, self-respect, and irreplaceable value" is a deep exploration into the hidden forces shaping our lives – the conditioning, beliefs, and stories we've unknowingly accepted as truth.

Connecting these transits to unfolding world events, including recent revelations that bring darker themes into collective awareness, I offer a wider cosmic perspective on why consciousness requires both light and shadow, reflecting on the spiritual implications of this moment and what it asks of us individually.

Calling something a situationship does not make it casual, modern, or empowered. It usually means you are in a real relationship without clarity, commitment, or respect. Hilary strips away the cute label and names what is actually happening when feelings, time, and emotional energy are involved but no one is willing to define the terms. Ambiguity may sound flexible, but it comes with a very real cost. Living without clarity creates constant anxiety. You are left guessing where you stand, managing expectations that were never agreed on, and tolerating behavior you would never accept in a relationship you were willing to call real. What gets framed as “going with the flow” often looks a lot like self-abandonment. Ask yourself honestly, would this feel acceptable if you stopped pretending the label made it different? The episode also turns the focus inward. Situationships are not always about someone else refusing to commit. Sometimes they exist because staying undefined feels safer than being fully seen. They offer connection without real risk and intimacy without accountability. When commitment, honesty, and self-respect become non-negotiable, situationships stop being tempting and start becoming impossible. Episode Highlights: Why calling it a situationship lets you excuse behavior you would never accept in a real relationship How ambiguity keeps your nervous system on edge and quietly fuels anxiety The difference between choosing something casual and settling out of fear How situationships can become a hiding place from real intimacy and vulnerability The moment self-respect turns clarity and commitment into non-negotiables Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Understanding Situationships 06:04 The Illusion of Freedom in Situationships 11:52 How Situationships Lead to Self-Betrayal and Emotional Hiding ✨ I'm Hilary Silver, LCSW, former psychotherapist turned master coach and founder of Ready for Love.

In 1987, the US Army War College coined the acronym of VUCA in 1987 to describe a world that was expected to become more difficult to navigate as the end of the Cold War started to become a reality – VUCA stands for volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.Aside from it being kinda ironic, with what's happening right now, that the US Army coined this acronym, it's struck me that musicians have been working in an industry that has breathed this sort of uncertainty and volatility, whilst those in paid employment are now much more exposed to it after decades of living a much more three stage life of study, work, retire.So, it's always a joy and an education for me to meet younger musicians and chat about their life and music and how they are navigating through everything, so I'll just get on with it and invite you to listen to this brilliant conversation with Idyl, an amazing artist who recently released her first single Illusion in November. https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.comI Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.

Never giving up is not about forcing outcomes, it's about refusing self-betrayal. In this episode, I talk about what it really means to stay loyal to yourself through doubt, setbacks, and uncertainty. When you decide what you represent discipline, growth, responsibility, faith life begins to respond differently. This is a grounded conversation about identity, belief in motion, and why quitting yourself costs more than any failure ever could.Buy my book Above the illusion. Above the Illusion: The blueprint for mental clarity, self-respect, and irreplaceable value" is a deep exploration into the hidden forces shaping our lives – the conditioning, beliefs, and stories we've unknowingly accepted as truth.

What happens when you stop numbing, stop performing, and finally face what's been running the show beneath the surface? In this powerful episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh reconnects with Jesse Elder for a raw conversation about sovereignty, emotional excavation, and becoming a whole human being. Jesse shares what led him to step away from business, confront long-standing patterns, and do deep embodiment work that uncovered how anger, sadness, and abandonment have shaped his life and leadership. Together, they explore why growth has no finish line, how emotional resilience is built through presence rather than avoidance, and the difference between real inner work and performative vulnerability. The conversation also weaves in faith, spirituality, masculine conditioning, and Jesse's philosophy on future-self alignment and “time piercing.” In this episode, Darius and Jesse will discuss: (00:00) Diving Deep: Personal Journeys and Self-Discovery (02:46) The Illusion of Destination: Understanding Life's Continuum (05:38) Navigating Emotions: The Onion of Self-Discovery (08:11) Sovereignty and Energy: Reclaiming Personal Power (11:18) Embodiment Work: Making Friends with Emotions (13:58) The Role of Faith and Spirituality in Personal Growth (16:45) The Game of Life: Levels and Challenges (19:18) Time Piercing: Accessing Past and Future Selves (22:09) The Power of Memory: Transforming Past Experiences (25:19) Creating a New Narrative: The Art of Reframing (28:07) The Time Piercer Tour: A Journey of Self-Discovery Jesse Elder is an action philosopher, performance coach, and motivational speaker who helps people create lives of freedom, purpose, and fulfillment.

What does it actually mean to be wild in the modern world—and why does it matter so much for our health, identity, and sense of belonging? In this episode, I explore those questions and more with Daniel Vitalis, host of the TV series WildFed and a lifelong advocate for reconnecting with nature through food, place, and embodied experience.We dive deep into what wildness really is—not as a romantic ideal, but as a lived, practical relationship with the natural world. Daniel shares how wild foods offer more than just nutrition; they provide feedback, resilience, and a kind of intelligence that modern systems have largely stripped away. We talk about how convenience culture has distanced us from our instincts, our land base, and even our own hunger cues, and why reclaiming these relationships is essential for both personal and ecological health.This conversation also weaves through nervous system regulation, ancestral skills, and the quiet confidence that comes from direct experience—whether that's foraging, hunting, or simply learning to trust your own perception again. Daniel reflects on the responsibility that comes with sourcing food from the wild, the ethics of reciprocity, and how participation in nature changes the way we see ourselves as humans.If you've felt a pull toward something more grounded, more honest, and more alive—this episode is an invitation to listen to that signal. It's a reminder that wildness isn't something we've lost; it's something we can remember, one relationship at a time.Visit lukestorey.com/surthrival and use code LUKE to save 10%.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

The Illusion of Modern Medicine Why Our Most Advanced Healthcare System Still Fails at Healing “We spend more money treating disease than any society in history yet remain among the sickest—because healing was never the system's goal.” Gary Null PhD

Joscha Bach explores the nature of consciousness, free will, and reality through the lens of computation, cognitive science, and philosophy. Rather than treating the mind as a mystical entity, Joscha frames consciousness as a constructed dream—a model generated by the brain to make sense of the world and coordinate behavior.We examine why beliefs should remain provisional, how the self functions as a useful fiction, and why suffering emerges when internal learning signals misfire. Joscha explains why free will feels real even if decisions arise before awareness, how meaning exists beyond the individual ego, and why wisdom is not simply knowledge but the ability to orient oneself within larger systems of value.BON CHARGE - 15% off red light therapy products I personally usehttps://www.boncharge.com/knowthyself[Code: KNOWTHYSELF]André's Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 — Intro: Josha Bach04:24 — Agnosticism, Evidence, and Logical Alternatives11:20 — Reality as a Mental Simulation13:00 — What Physicalism Actually Claims16:55 — Telepathy, Rituals, and Distributed Minds19:45 — Consciousness Does Not Make Decisions22:55 — Free Will as a Post-Hoc Story24:00 — Consciousness as a Trance State26:00 — Meditation and the Illusion of Self29:10 — Out-of-Body Experiences Explained31:07 — Ad: BON CHARGE36:30 — Why the Brain Fills in Missing Reality39:50 — Dreams, Selves, and Narrative Identity43:20 — Intelligence, Models, and World-Building47:10 — Why Reality Feels Stable51:00 — Meaning, Agency, and Mental Compression55:10 — Why Consciousness Feels Central (But Isn't)59:30 — The Psychological World vs Physical Reality1:04:10 — Intelligence Without Awareness1:08:45 — The Cost of Believing the Self Is Real1:13:30 — Waking Up From the Narrative1:18:40 — What a Cognitive Science View Really Implies1:23:30 — Final Thoughts: Living Inside the Dream___________Episode Resources: https://www.cimc.ai/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.comListen to the show:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4bZMq9lApple: https://apple.co/4iATICX
