So, what does it mean to be human? Honestly we have no fricken idea but it sure is fun to ponder. Join us as we converse with the very nature of humanity, why are we here and what is it we are "supposed to be doing?" We can promise you that we may not have the answers but we definitely have some interesting questions and some practices we love playing with along the way.

Ego and the Meaning Path

Is the Ego a problem or something we need to develop to be a thriving human being?  What is an Ego death?  Do I need to kill my ego? How do we encounter both our transcendent devinity and our messy, alive humaness and make that work?  We take on these questions and have a rich conversation about our grandiosity, its place and problems. Ths episode brings in alot of the themes of the first five and weaves them into our lives as people, parents, partners and fellow humans on the meaning path.

Boundaries are important…you’ve been told. Make sure and “set” them, whatever that means, or you are doomed! But what are they?  Is there a difference between “trauma boundaries” and real honest boundaries? What if boundaries are the key and actual means for harmonious connection and not stark walls of separation.  How do you become a person with good boundaries that are easy and not some loathsome task you have to take on and spend all your time worrying about? What if you could just feel your boundaries, all the time?  We aslo talk about masculine and feminine energy as a possible key to a well held sense of boundary.

The most revealing and valuable container and revealer of consciousness is relationship. 

Romance and Relationships

In this episode we talk through the tension between being the “hero of your own story”, and being there for another or others. Can you be sovereign and deeply romantic? What even doesn “romantic” mean and what are our real needs, and just as importantly, how do we communicate them?  We also talk about how relationship is changing, and what that might mean for your meaning path.

Attuning Trauma/Healing Samskara-

As we take on the meaning path, we will journey, inevitably, into our shit–the blocks and unconscious patterns and distortions that create hell as we try to find peace, purpose and power. Here we talk about the possibilities that exist for working through the stuff that holds us back, and suggest some tools, practice and intentions to help us be with ourselves when we are feeling the most difficult parts of us.

How to Heal and Whole –You have probably had experiences with people dressed in linen and who dreamily, or with some kind of proscriptive process, tell you that you need to “heal”. But healing is subjective, and can simply be a sort of spiritual treadmill, or worse it can become a toxic cover of narcissistic abuse of those vulnerably trying to find their way in this post institutional world. We invite you on your own personal healing journey, and in this episode we provide a model (it's only a model) of what a new conscious healing journey looks like. We talk about the idea of “wholing” as the purpose for all healing work.

On the personal meaning path, a vital piece in creating purpose and fulfillment in life is Consciousness.  So what the hell is consciousness? Xoch, Steve/Cedar and Keith tackle this big fuzzy concept and wrestle with how to understand and work our own experiences with consciousness. How is everything a “container” of consciousness and what does this mean for our messy, wonderful, whacky lives?
