Almost Enlightened episodes

  • The Gift of Breath

    Alex expands upon the lessons he shared in episode 55 entitled "Mind the Gap." He goes deeper into the gap, exploring the interesting connection between our breath and creation.

    Note - Alex says, "psychedelic assisted therapy" several times when he's referring to PAT, which is really meant to be "psilocybin assisted therapy." Oops! :)

  • Mind the Gap

    After producing fifty-four episodes of the Almost Enlightened podcast, Alex took a three-year break to search the depths of his heart for truth and alignment. In this episode, Alex reveals what prompted the search and what he discovered. "Mind the Gap" is a talk by Alex, first shared at the University of Toronto during a recent bLU Talks event. Always ambitious, Alex examines the role of ego, identity, and the subconscious, while vulnerably sharing some of his most transformative moments. According to the author, this is the definitive reboot of the Almost Enlightened podcast.

  • Beliefs and Behaviours

    I had a revelation the other night: I can't keep thinking and acting the way I've been thinking and acting. My thinking and acting just don't line-up with what I believe anymore. So I guess it's time to make some changes. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed creating it.

    This episode was going to be called, "The End." But then that all changed and Alex decided on something else. Enjoy what might have been his very last podcast episode on this platform as he takes you on a journey through his thoughts on what a matrix is, how one's created, what they do, how to escape one, and other fascinating thoughts.

  • Fixing a Broken Education System with Michael Maloney

    Why do we put-up with an education system that systematically ignores solutions to illiteracy and innumeracy? Are we being duped by a system in which there are advantages to having an illiterate population? Illiteracy and innumeracy are forms of academic child abuse that pose a threat to our democratic freedom. It's time for change.

    Join esteemed guest Michael Maloney for a bewildering journey into the maniacal education system that's in dire need of a reset.
