In honor of World Water Day, Sergio and I talk about...you guessed it...water. We give you some interesting facts and statistics about water and tell you about African elephants, oranges, and a water point in Botswana.
The Yemaya Asesu chant at the beginning of the podcast was done by dear friend and spiritual healer, Stefani Clarke. You can find her here:

Finally, our apologies to both Laura Esquivel and Isabel Allende for the Like Water for Chocolate faux pas.
After receiving a chain message on Whatsapp last week, the topic of fatigue, depletion and isolation came up. We discuss these two concepts at length and Sergio offers a deeper look into where these feelings and emotions originate.

We talk about Loneliness, Isolation, marriage and how we use the self, the ego, the personal identity, and individualism as a bubble to isolate us from the rest of the “selves” and the world.
In this episode we have a long pre-amble about life in Spain right now, mid-pandemic. We share our observations and thoughts before jumping into a discussion about individualism and the side-effects of the pursuit of the Three Mantras: Life, Freedom & the ever-elusive happiness.

Mantras are mainly used in eastern philosophy and religion but we, in westernized cultures, have our own mantras. In this episode, we learn about the effects of these mantras on us and how they have become a product that Western countries export.
We discuss life, freedom, happiness, and individuality.
We mention Dan Zevin's book Very Modern Mantras, a great read!

How is it possible that with all the fruits of progress we enjoy in our highly industrialised societies today, we still suffer? Feeling overwhelmed, anxiety and fear is prevalent? In today's episode we discuss the downside to progress.
Today's show also has a little philosophy as we look at the Humanism & Enlightenment movements and how it informs us.

We discuss Steven Pinker's book Enlightenment Now
Why is there no holistic approach to understanding the human condition and why are we not cooperating to end suffering.
In today's episode we talk about aviation disasters and the suicide pandemic in the world and we ask the question why so many resources are pumped into investigating the one and not the other. We talk about life and death and the experience we have on this earth. Suffering and the human condition is also on the menu.

Author S.S. López and Rhett Vorster take the first step in a long journey of discovery of the causes of unnecessary suffering in our world.
0.1% Beyond Human Reality goes down the rabbit hole looking at our 99.9 % artificially created realities and the obstacles we face while living completely unaware of our whole vital experience in the world.
99.9% is beyond our control. When we fully understand ourselves, we are in the realm of a dynamic process called the 0.1%. And it is in here, in the 0.1, where the millions of possibilities available to us reveal themselves and we can release the endless potential we possess as human beings in our inter-correlated environment.
