On today’s RABBI BRIAN’S CHATS WITH LARRY

Audio quality is okay today (you both sound like you’re on the phone).

Having a hard time with my ego

Larry gets angry

Larry helps craft my response

I reveal to Larry I’ve been recording our conversations

Audio quality is okay today (you both sound like you’re on the phone). Larry was really tired, so you didn’t talk for long (just over 9mins). You mention going Christmas tree shopping which could date the episode.

Quote from George Zimmel “excessive physic stimulation”

The French work (sorry Brian I can’t tell what the word is) Larry says it literally means no law I’m hoping you know it.

Contemplating your navel

Find meaning or you end up seeking pleasure

What people talk about on their deathbed

Audio quality is okay today, Larry was sick, so you didn’t talk for very long. I don’t think this is worth releasing as an episode Brian. You both just talk about Thanksgiving during COVID so it’s very dated.

But I’ll let you decide…

Why Larry is sick (Pumpkin Pie)

No one knows how to do Thanksgiving for under 8 people

Audio quality is not good in this episode, and there’s a dog barking throughout the conversation you might want to mention too.

Parable of the vineyard owner and the workers

The divine economy

Grace is greater than our needs

Putting words in God’s mouth

God so loved the world that he didn’t send a book

Friendraising

Theology of the Cross

I removed all the SpaceX chat and just have the conversations start with you talking about the iterations of the rockets and how even your vacuum cleaner has evolved. If you can give me an intro that very briefly explains what you guys were talking about we should be good

A conversation about vacuum cleaners leads into meditation

The space between sleep and awake (sleep is a spectrum)

Giving in to allow other spirits control/influence over you

The freedom and permission to be myself

Sleep is the burden of self-consciousness

Solitary confinement can create delusion

My octopus teacher

Getting our stimulus alone or in a group

Getting some of your own medicine isn’t always negative

Audio quality is not great this episode, Larry is on speaker and hard to hear at times.

Ballast – A sense of centeredness, how to get more ballast in our lives

Writing G-D removes the limits

The self-surpassing surpasser of all (Hawthorn’s Theorem)

Hebrews 11 “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen”

Accumulating the wisdom of the past

The word AVER and understanding words and their fullness

Brian tries to get Larry to curse

Not dumming down our language/vocabulary

Two different teaching styles

While Today’s Rabbi Brian Chats With Larry has great audio quality (an improvement over last time), but that’s because I TOLD Larry I was recording it. He  was really stiff at the start, which I’ve skipped. 

Enjoy the good quality` and fast start as Larry and I talk about:

Will power and God’s will. (God’s will =) “Love people, use things”

Will power, Won’t power, and how we don’t always do what we know we should do

Satan, good and evil

Larry’s imposter syndrome and Brian’s childlike playful spirit

The paradox of pride

Explaining religion without the religious words

Wow, the audio quality here is rough. Good news, I fix that for the next episode. Bad news, it’s not a permanent fix for the rest of the episodes.

Larry recounts his wonderful memory and I challenge that we can remember anything well at all.

He reads from his upcoming autobiography

Being grateful for memories
