In recent years, near-death experience (NDE) researchers have dared to suggest that this "out-of-body," or dualistic, phenomenon is evidence that consciousness survives death, thereby validating the words of St. Paul that we have two bodies-physical and spiritual-the spirit body separating from the physical body at the time of physical death, or within minutes of it. This "spirit" body has also been referred to as an etheric body, astral body, vehicle of vitality, double, doppelganger, and mental body. Some mystics and psychics claim there are more than two bodies, the so-called "second death" which involves a transition from one spirit body to a higher spirit body. The spirit body is attached to the physical body by what the Bible calls a "silver cord."While the umbilical cord is severed at birth, the silver cord is severed at death. Those having NDEs have experienced a separation of the bodies, but not a severance of the silver cord. For many years, dedicated researchers concluded that the NDE was more than a hallucination, a drug-induced reaction, the illusions of oxygen-deprivation, or some evolutionary chemical effect not yet understood by science, but most of them stopped short of suggesting that anything spiritual was involved. Such an hypothesis would have been looked upon as a "religious" explanation, and conflicted with the advancement of science, which was not open to a dualistic explanation, believing it had already impeached religion. Dedicated researchers, however, eventually came to see it as an advancement of science even if it did support religion.While the NDE was given a name in 1975 by Dr. Raymond Moody, and was being studied at the same time by Dr. Elisabeth Kűbler-Ross, reports of the phenomenon existed here and there but had not been collected in a single reference until Moody's best-selling Life After Life. Section two of this four-part book offers a number of pre-Moody NDEs, two of them probably the most dynamic or profound NDEs ever reported. The author otherwise draws from his interviews with a number of experiencers and researchers, along with leading references, all supporting the dualistic nature of the NDE.BioA 1958 graduate of the School of Journalism (B.A. Public Relations) at San Jose State University, Michael Tymn has contributed more than 1,600 articles to some 40 newspapers, magazines, journals, and books over the past 60 years.

His running book is titled "Running on Third Wind." "The Afterlife Revealed" has thus far proved to be his most popular book. His sixth book, titled, "Resurrecting Leonora Piper: How Science Discoverd the Afterlife" is expected to be released late 2012 or early 2013.Mike serves as Vice-President of The Academy of Spiritual and Consciouness Studies, Inc. and is editor of the Academy's Journal and mini-magazine, "The Searchlight."

SEGMENTS00:00 Taste of the episode 01:52 Introduction to Greg Dingizian 04:22 How intentional was Greg's success? 06:07 Where the name “Agharta” came from 07:18 How Armenian roots influenced Greg 08:52 What Armenian and Swedish cultures can learn from each other 10:33 Suffering, grace and victimhood 12:40 Creating life experience from inside out 14:29 Gyurjieff and the mental prisons we cannot escape 14:52 Seeing through illusions 17:17 The illusion of “getting there” with money 18:28 Many ways spiritual understanding can evolve 23:41 Greg warns: too much focus on the external 26:58 How to set business goals 29:51 Finding qualified critics and idea meritocracy 31:31 Find what feels like play to you, but seems like work to others 34:05 Taking daring action and what prevents it 37:06 The role of mentors and how to find them 39:15 “Going to get it” vs “allowing it to come to you” 39:58 Mutual factors behind Esabelle and Greg's success 42:32 “Who am I”? 44:28 Techniques, thoughts, emotions 46:21 Emptying the mind 48:24 Intuition and not following conventions 49:51 Transcending the intellect and touching wisdom 50:47 The most demanded skill in 10 years52:14 Artificial intelligence 53:54 Bigger shifts to come 55:53 Hope for a global awakening 58:22 Word association game with Greg (from politics to meditation) 01:00:15 Reminder: just chop wood and carry water--My podcast guest is what some might call a "hippie billionaire," a man who attributes his success to quieting the mind, meditation, intuition and taking daring action inspired by stillness.While in Malmö, I had the chance to interview Greg Dingizian, a visionary Swedish-Armenian investor and one of our nation's most affluent sons.Greg is behind some of Sweden's most significant real estate deals, including Victoria Park, a company he helped build and later sold in a landmark acquisition valued at nearly €1 billion.The real reason I wanted to interview Greg is the source of his success - accessing the stillness within, as he attributes it, in very simple terms. For example, he shares how the idea for Victoria came "as a download" when he was swimming.Greg says mindfulness and meditation gave him his life back, which is why he donated 6 million SEK to Malmö University, to fund research on mindfulness. We covered a lot in an hour: → the illusions he had to give up to become what he has, → his techniques and core principles, → AI, → Armenia, Sweden and being an immigrant,→ mentorship, money and company culture,→ compassion, forgiveness and suffering, → finding critics, intuition and transcending the intellect, → meditation on "I am," → what Greg hopes for and anticipates: a global awakening and the collapse of dominant structures.Greg is also the founder of "Bridge to Armenia," now led by his sister, Ezabelle Dingizian, the former Deputy Speaker of the Swedish Parliament. I just loved co-creating this episode. It was honest. Joyful. Deep. I think you'll feel it too.Thank you for tuning in, prioritizing your self-realization and listening beyond the word.Razmik#podcast #mentalhealth #success #GregDingizian #consciousleadership #meditation #Armenia #Sweden #mindfulness #coaching #marketing #money #productivity #entrepreneurship #personalgrowth #spiritualbusiness #business

Today we discuss MAHA, wearables, health, and Israel. RFK Jr. announced that he hopes that in four years, all Americans will be wearing health tracking devices. What are the implications for individual health? Is hypothesis-driven science being undermined? Will equity be used as a way to force this on people? What should we think of the fact that Casey Means, the nominee to Surgeon General, has a company that incorporates wearables? What does Yuval Noah Harari have to tell us? Does having your data uploaded to the cloud seem like a good idea? There seem to be two very different models of how to MAHA: 1) hone your intuition, trust your senses, and try to create an environment with as little exposure to hyper-novelty as possible; or 2) tech your way out of the problem, and trans-humanize your way to success. Also: Bret introduces Warner the wearables werewolf. Breaking news: Israel and the U.S. appear to have brokered a deal that includes several other countries in the Middle East, and leaves open the possibility of a two-state solution.*****Our sponsors:Brain.fm: intense music that boosts productivity.

This isn't another surface-level interview. This is a raw, unfiltered dive into the fire – and how to rise from it. In this exclusive conversation, Derrick Broze lays it all on the table. Addiction. Prison. The grind of activism. The personal demons and public battles that shaped the man behind the mission. We're going deep into how pain became power. How trials turned to transformation. And how Derrick walked the long road from self-destruction to sovereign leadership. We'll expose the traps of the technocratic age—how movements get hijacked, how truth gets buried, and how freedom is traded for comfort. We'll talk Trump. We'll talk psyops. We'll talk about the lies you've been fed and the power you still hold. But most importantly, we'll talk about solutions. Real ones. From Exit & Build strategies to the Freedom Cell Network, we'll map the road to personal liberation in an era of digital enslavement. If you're tired of the lies, hungry for truth, and ready to reclaim your power… This is the episode you've been waiting for. Tune in. Wake up.

I had the pleasure of inviting Sofia, a dear friend and former lover, to join me on the podcast to explore our shared journey into tantra and personal growth. Sofia played a pivotal role in introducing me to the world of tantra, profoundly influencing my understanding of love, embodiment, and leadership. During our conversation, Sofia shared her philosophy on guiding men toward their potential, emphasizing the importance of leading with love and embodying divine grace. She opened up about her professional and personal journey, highlighting that true love and transformation stem from embodying one's authenticity and being in tune with one's inner self. We delved into the concept of love addiction, discussing societal patterns of seeking validation and love externally rather than recognizing our inherent completeness. Together, we reflected on the journey from "prince" to "king" consciousness for men, where a mature man knows his center and purpose. Our discussion also touched on the evolution of relationships and recognizing when a season of love has concluded. We examined the addictive nature of love as portrayed in media and how people often cling to relationships out of fear of being alone. Sofia shared her readiness for a life partner, having released the attachment to needing a relationship for fulfillment, attributing this shift to understanding love addiction and embracing solitude. We explored the essence of tantra, which Sofia defines as recognizing the divine in every moment and experience, even through life's challenges. Surrendering to life's flow and relaxing into the divine embrace is essential for genuine transformation and creation. Sofia offered her insights into leadership, emphasizing how individuals can elevate human consciousness by embodying purity and transparency, focusing on deep personal transformation that naturally impacts the world around them.

„Pass auf!“ Diesen Rat hat uns Toshiaki Toyoda gegeben, bevor wir den Film auf Nippon Connection 2025 sehen durften. Aber eher im Sinne von: „Öffne Dich, nimm alles auf.“ Denn TRANSCENDING DIMENSIONS ist wieder ein wilder Ritt. Eigentlich ein wirklich großartiges Jazzrock-Musikvideo mit Dialogen und Handlungselementen. Mit magischen Kräften werden die Grenzen der Dimensionen überschritten, Zauberer snd zugleich gefährliche Sektenführer, Killer werden zu Sinnsuchenden, ein Astronaut betritt das Kaleidoskop der Unendlichkeit.Steile These: Toyoda verwendet Mythen und religiöse Elemente aus verschiedenen Quellen – nicht wegen ihrer Bedeutung, sondern wegen ihrer sozialen und kulturellen Wirkung auf ihn und auf uns. Ein Decodieren ist daher sinnlos. Stattdessen kann man sich – umdröhnt von der hervorragenden Musik – in diesen wilde Mischung aus Esoterik, Krimi und Rausch fallen lassen. Den Podcast haben wir direkt nach dem Film auf Nippon Connection 2025 aufgenommen und sortieren erst einmal unsere Eindrücke. Am Mikrofon: Helena und Malte von Sneaky Monday, Markus von translate or die, Karoline und Thomas.Hier unser erster Eindruck von Toyodas THE BLOOD OF REBIRTH und hier das Gespräch mit Sebastian Krehl über Toyoda (Offizieller Festivalpodcast 2021).

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Faisal Hoque, author of Transcend: Unlocking Humanity in the Age of AI. Faisal brings a unique blend of deep philosophical insight, entrepreneurial experience, and technological expertise to the conversation. They explore how leaders can navigate the fast-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence while staying grounded in what makes us human. The discussion explores how to think about AI not just as a tool or collaborator, but as a mirror that reflects our biases and decisions. Faisal introduces the OPEN and CARE frameworks as practical ways to innovate while managing risk, making this conversation highly actionable for project managers and leaders. From detaching from digital noise to preparing the next generation for an AI-shaped world, Faisal offers a thoughtful roadmap for embracing technology without losing our agency. If you're looking for insights on how to thrive in the age of AI with both optimism and responsibility, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “You can be optimistic, but you can also mitigate risk at the same time. One doesn't really work without the other.” “Catastrophizing is not doomism, but it's really a risk management practice.” "AI is not just a tool or collaborator, it's a mirror." “Don't outsource your agency. It's easy to let AI nudge your decisions without even realizing it.” “Just like you don't put a 10-year-old in a car to drive... technology can do a lot of good, but it can also be disastrous.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:33 Start of Interview 02:00 What From Your Background Shaped Your Thinking? 03:54 How Philosophy and Systems Thinking Intersect 06:00 Introducing the OPEN and CARE Frameworks 06:55 What Is the Human Role in an AI World? 09:43 How AI Can Subtly Influence Our Choices 11:40 Sci-Fi's Influence on AI Perception 15:07 What Is an AI Persona and How Do You Use Them? 18:13 Why AI Is Also a Mirror of Us 22:33 Introducing the OPEN Framework for Individuals 25:33 How Emotional Intelligence Applies to AI Partnership 27:02 The Role of Catastrophizing in Risk Management 28:58 The Value of Detaching and Devoting 32:03 How We Can Prepare Our Kids for an AI World 35:31 End of Interview 36:00 Andy Comments After the Interview 40:33 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Faisal and his work at FaisalHoque.com.

Derek Rishmawy, Alastair Roberts, and Joseph Minich explore the Jesus People movement of the 1970s—from hippie communes to Calvary Chapel—and its lasting impact on American evangelicalism. They discuss the tension between Spirit-led revival and institutional church structure, examining how countercultural seekers became conservative evangelicals and what today's church can learn from this transformative era. Key Takeaway: The Jesus People movement reveals how the church's greatest evangelistic strength—meeting spiritual hunger with radical acceptance—can also become its greatest weakness without proper institutional structure and long-term discipleship.

In this episode of Mental Matters, host Asekho Toto engages in a profound conversation with a distinguished meditation expert and author who shares their transformative approach to mental wellness through higher consciousness meditation. Blair challenges conventional beliefs about chronic pain, revealing that what many consider a lifelong condition can actually be overcome with the right mindset and practices. They detail their personal journey of developing a unique meditation process that works in harmony with one's higher consciousness, offering listeners an alternative to traditional meditation techniques that focus on forcefully quieting the mind. Throughout the discussion, the guest explains their daily routine of morning and evening meditation sessions, complemented by a mindfulness practice called "peace be still" that helps elevate consciousness throughout the day. This comprehensive approach addresses not only mental well-being but also provides tools for managing chronic pain and navigating life's challenges from a place of heightened awareness. Asekho openly shares his own struggles with meditation, admitting the difficulty he faces in "just sitting and being quiet," creating a relatable moment for listeners who may have similar experiences. The conversation emphasizes that everyone possesses the inner capacity for mental transformation, but this potential requires permission and consistent practice to fully emerge. The episode delves into the critical relationship between environment and mental health, highlighting how self-awareness can help individuals recognize environmental triggers and respond proactively rather than reactively. Blair emphasizes personal choice in mental health improvement, encouraging listeners to seek the light rather than spiraling downward during difficult times. This thought-provoking discussion concludes with the guest generously offering listeners access to their mindfulness book through their website, High Sea Meditation (hiseameditation.com), which will be linked in the show notes. Whether you're struggling with chronic pain, seeking alternative meditation approaches, or simply looking to enhance your mental well-being, this episode provides valuable insights and practical techniques for connecting with your higher consciousness and transforming your mental landscape.Sponsors and important linksSubscribe to my newsletter: asekhos-newsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribe if you are interested in newsletter beehiiv is the place to go: www.beehiiv.com?via=Asekho-TotoWant to be a guest on Mental Matters Hosted By Asekho Toto?

Transcending Our Yesod HaAfar

Last time we considered the consequences of deceit upon the lives of Jacob, Leah, and Rachel. This week we consider the responses of Leah and Rachel to circumstances that were outside of their control, and how we can be content in whatever state within which we find ourselves.

Welcome to a very special episode of this podcast. Today marks several firsts: it's my first episode in English, and, for the very first time, I have a guest sitting right here with me in my living room, so get ready for a truly intimate living room conversation with my wonderful guest, Sharon Gannon, the co-founder of Jivamukti Yoga.

The post Minyang Jiang on AI augmentation, transcending constraints, fostering creativity, and the levers of AI strategy (AC Ep6) appeared first on Humans + AI.

 On Sunday, the 8th of June, Thom will be recording a very special episode of the Vedic Worldview live and in person at the Bondi Pavilion in Sydney,  at Bondi Pavilion in Sydney. And you are very,  and you are warmly invited.This is the first time we're having a live recording audience like this, and the theme is Ask Tom Anything.

That's  thomknoles.com/sydneypodcast. We hope to see you there. We often celebrate codependence in nature, such as bees pollinating flowers and receiving nectar as their reward, yet when it comes to codependence in human relationships, it's frequently seen as a problem that needs to be fixed.In this episode, Thom gives us fresh perspectives on codependence, inviting us to celebrate our dependence on each other, while at the same time, learning to recognize when codependence has become dysfunctional. Thom also offers up terminology to help us clarify the distinction between functional and dysfunctional codependence, giving us the means to avoid adding to the stigma that has evolved around codependence.Episode Highlights:[00:45] We Cannot Live Without Dependency[03:32] Co-addiction[06:42] Freedom from the Tyranny of Addiction[09:36] Going Beyond the Constraints of Individuality[11:56] Vedic Meditation, Easier Than Just Having Everyday Thoughts[14:38] You Have to Start with Yourself[18:09] Survival vs Progress[20:50] Survival is a Product of EvolutionUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

SummaryIn the wake of unimaginable tragedy, how does a community find its way forward—and what can we learn from their resilience? In this episode, we sit down with Rabbi Jeffrey Myers, who survived the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in American history at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life Synagogue. Rabbi Myers shares how his congregation and the broader Pittsburgh community responded to hatred with overwhelming acts of kindness and solidarity, and how he's become a national voice for interfaith understanding and eradicating the “H-word” from our daily lives.About Our GuestRabbi Hazzan Jeffrey Myers has served as the Rabbi and Cantor for the Tree of Life in Pittsburgh since the summer of 2017. He moved to the City of Bridges after spending decades in ministry in New Jersey and Long Island. He received a BA from Rutgers, an MA in Jewish Education from the Jewish Theological Seminary and studied privately with Cantor Zvi Aroni before graduating from the Cantorial School of The Jewish Theological Seminary of America. After the horrific morning of October 27, 2018, when a heavily armed gunman began a murderous rampage in the Tree of Life, Rabbi Myers—who survived the attack—became the face of the tragedy. Since then, he has set about sending the key message that love is stronger than hate. Rabbi Myers contends that a lack of understanding of our neighbors leads to fear and sometimes loathing, which can lead to acts of violence. Rabbi Myers believes that if we are ever to remove the "H word" from our society, it must start with pledging not to use that word in speech, just as he has done in honor of the 11 lives lost at the Tree of Life. Rabbi Myers is a recipient of multiple awards, including 2019 recipient of the Simon Wiesenthal Center Medal of Valor, given out to those who exemplify the good deeds of outstanding individuals who honor mankind and whose courage and bravery shine a light in the darkest of places. Because of his service and actions during and after the Tree of Life massacre, Rabbi Myers received the medal which is inscribed: “He who saves a single life, it is as if he has saved an entire world.” He has testified before both Houses of Congress, participated in many gatherings in the White House, and has spoken throughout the United States on the proliferation of H-speech.Useful LinksTree of Life Synagogue – Rabbi Myers' Community: https://www.treeoflifepgh.orgRabbi Myers on Responding to Hate (CNN Feature): https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/18/us/rabbi-myers-pittsburgh-hate/index.htmlPittsburgh Synagogue Shooting – Background (Wikipedia): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_synagogue_shootingFollow How to HelpInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/how.to.help.pod/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@how.to.help.podBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/howtohelp.bsky.socialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/HowToHelpPodPleasant Pictures MusicJoin the Pleasant Pictures Music Club to get unlimited access to high-quality, royalty-free music for all of your projects.

Living in a higher consciousness by transcending the ego

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by GRACE NEUTRAL, founder of FEMME FATALE TATTOO!Of course, as with all intros, it is impossible to sum up Grace by a role or a title. Grace is also a force of energy and natural spring of positivity in the wide world of the tattoo, as you will hear in this in person chat with Pip. Positivity and new ways of thinking aren't always a given though, sometimes these are things that need to happen through experience and ultimately wisdom, all of which Grace has in abundance. Among other subjects including the one that you would indeed expect, Grace and Pip catch up on the joy of dogs and animals, how Grace founded Femme Fatale, the unfortunate side of tattoo work and the humans who contribute to it, humble origins, how misogyny can generate among women in toxic male environments, being a boss and how to do that, surviving abusive relationships in enabling towns, and fostering safe inclusive spaces for those who would benefit.

Therefore, one of the consequences of being boring is that it turns people off to them. You have to ask these questions: Why would someone choose to become boring? Why would someone want me to look past them? There are many reasons you can't think of, and in this episode, Adam Quiney dives into the ontology of being boring and how to transcend boring people.

Ep.242 Shaunté Gates (b. 1979) lives and works in Washington, D.C. He studied at Duke Ellington School of the Arts and Bowie State University. Early in his career, Gates trained in oil painting and portraiture. His past experience as a tattoo artist and television motion graphics editor caused a profound shift in his artistic practice. His recent work employs a multidisciplinary approach, layering photography, painting, and found text to create dreamlike landscapes that explore labyrinthine social constructs and the physical sites that house and perpetuate them. Echoing the aesthetics of paper theater, his compositions unfold like intricate stage sets, where layered imagery and shifting perspectives evoke a sense of constructed reality and theatrical illusion. Gates was a participating artist in the Smithsonian Institution's “Men of Change” four-year traveling exhibition spanning ten museums, including the International African American Museum in Charleston, SC, California African American Museum, Cincinnati Underground Railroad Museum and Washington State History Museum (2019-23). He has been awarded the Louis Comfort Tiffany Biennial Grant (2022) and residencies with The Nicholson Project (2023), The Kennedy Center (2019) and Washington Project for the Arts (2018; 2017). Gates has work in esteemed private collections and institutions such as the Studio Museum in Harlem and Munson, Utica, NY. He has completed many public art commissions including Transcending, a painting commemorating the 140th anniversary of Howard University School of Law.  Photo credit: Biko Gates Artist https://www.shauntegates.com/ Virginia Tech https://artscenter.vt.edu/exhibitions/shaunte-gates.html Sperone Westwater  https://www.speronewestwater.com/artists/shaunte-gates#tab:slideshow Marc Straus https://marcstraus.com/artists/98-shaunte-gates/ FAD Magazine https://fadmagazine.com/2025/03/03/marc-straus-gallery-now-represent-shaunte-gates/ Zidoun-Bossuyt https://zidoun-bossuyt.com/artists/shaunte-gates/ | https://zidoun-bossuyt.com/exhibitions/shaunte-gates-poppies-parachutes-iii-we-should-be-flying-by-now/ Smithsonian https://menofchange.si.edu/exhibit/artist-pairings/shaunte-gates/ The Roanoker  https://theroanoker.com/events/shaunt%C3%A9-gates-2025/ Phillips Collection https://www.phillipscollection.org/event/2024-08-25-collaging-shaunte-gates Brooklyn Rail https://brooklynrail.org/2023/10/artseen/Shaunt-Gates-In-Light-of-the-Hunt/ Culture Type https://www.culturetype.com/tag/shaunte-gates/ Washington Informer Bridge https://wibridgedc.com/the-transformative-power-of-found-objects-with-shaunte-gates/ RUSH Philanthropic https://rushphilanthropic.org/artist/shaunte-gates/

What if your ego isn't the enemy—but a necessary part of your spiritual journey?In this episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most misunderstood parts of the human experience: the ego. So often in the spiritual world, we hear that we need to “kill the ego” or “rise above it,” but the truth is far more nuanced—and powerful.We'll unpack the true nature of the ego, exploring both its shadow aspects—like control, fear, and pride—and its light—the parts that drive our creativity, connection, and growth. I'll share why the ego isn't something to be eliminated, but integrated. When we demonize it, we miss the opportunity to actually understand what it's trying to show us about ourselves.We'll also talk about the very real consequences of living out of alignment with our true nature, the spiritual disconnection that so many feel, and how reconnecting with both the divine and your full humanity brings healing, clarity, and peace.This is an honest, heart-opening conversation that invites you into a more balanced, empowered relationship with yourself—ego and all.Tune in and let's walk this path to wholeness, together.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Ego03:41 Understanding the Ego's Role in Spirituality09:10 The Misconceptions of the Ego12:39 Transcending the Ego vs. Being a Slave to It17:09 The Shadow Side of the Ego25:37 The Light Side of the Ego38:43 The Ego and the Absence of Light44:03 Understanding True Human Nature50:13 Navigating the Shadow and Light of the Ego59:19 The Consequences of Losing Our Soul01:06:19 The Spiritual Crisis and Identityego, spirituality, human experience, misconceptions, shadow side, light side, transcendence, identity, spiritual warfare, self-awareness, ego, light, human nature, spirituality, divine, enlightenment, shadow, soul, identity, consciousnessSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/ignite-the-spark-within.

At the center of our cultural crisis is a clash of values. The current administration's actions reflect an age-old paradigm: us versus them, winners versus losers. It is driven by animal kingdom values, where “might makes right.” In this episode, we explore a different paradigm and a different set of values for transcending such limited thinking.

Send us a textThis EP is a solo session.  I didn't have an interview recorded, and I decided I would take the time to talk about where we find ourselves today in society at large, and perhaps what has led us to a difficult and unsteady state.The world at large ebbs and flows, grows, and contracts, and we as human citizens struggle to know what to look toward for solace and a sense of control. It's not easy living on this planet, but a lot of what can make it a better experience is how we understand ourselves.  How what we see, and why we see it drives how we feel, and ultimately what we experience.I hope you find some value in my ramblings.
