There are billions of human beings living in ignorance, destined to die that way only to come back again in the next incarnation to do it all over again. Cool! Funny thing is, when offered the opportunity to step out of ignorance, most turn away because they're happy not knowing the answers. Go for it! All that said, if you want to be a better dad, sister, brother, mom, friend, human being....you should give this episode a listen. But hey, don't take my word for it. Find out for yourself. If you want to stay in ignorance, hasta luego. See you in the next incarnation. Truth is, that we are here for a reason: to explore our creativity. Yup. Plain and simple. We delve deeply into the question of our reason for existence and why we ended up here in this place.Music is found on the Free Music Archive featuring Reverend Freakchild at www-reverendfreakchild dot org.

When we sit in limbo wondering whether to take the leap and follow our truth, our own true path in life, we are never going to be truly happy. I'm not saying just hit the road and leave it all behind. The due diligence is to go deep and see if our choices are serving our higher good, our higher self. Our higher self is all knowing. When we know, we KNOW. There are consequences when we choose to come from a place of love. And, there are consequences when we come from a place of fear. One sets you free. The other imprisons you in a prison of your own making. This episode might make a few of you angry. If you believe blindly in a gospel delivered by a preacher without discovering the truth for yourself...you'll never be free. Now, don't believe a word I say! Find out for yourself. If you think I'm full of it, cool! Go find your own truth, don't take it as gospel from anyone but you and your higher self. Additionally, the pious are those that serve the darkness through judgment. We'll explore that with my brother and friend Michael Simonson, a man you met in our first episode. Again, don't believe a word he says. Find out for yourself. That said, this will get you thinking (or angry!).Warning: there are numerous F-bombs in this episode as I've used recordings of conversations off the cuff. I feel that leaving them in portrays the truth of my thought process and makes it authentic. Music in this episode comes from Loco Lobo, found on the Free Music Archive.

Keep your thoughts and intentions positive, for they create your reality.-Thom Dharma Pollard
