Cosmic Triggers with Sam

This is a ramble that starts with what an interaction with a child taught me. That we are all born to love. We aren’t afraid of each other. We aren’t afraid to hug and kiss a stranger. We all want to love and be loved unconditionally. And why when we grow up that goes away. And how love is repressed in our society. How our idea of what god is and how it judges and punishes might influence why we judge and punish ourselves and each other. 89% of people believe in a higher power, and what they believe that higher power is determines how they treat themselves and each other. So what if god was loving? If god didn’t judge and want anything from you. And lastly, what are you? Are you your job? Are you the voice in your head that judges everything? Or the thing behind that that just observes? I hope you enjoy todays ramble. And I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

This is the first episode featuring my partner Ben. It’s wonderful. It’s full of wisdom and insight about fear, realizing what thoughts are real or not, how everyone is worth of forgiveness. We discuss schizophrenia, narcissism and how anyone can transform and grow. And how when you’re not afraid of things, those things are able to show up in your conscious in order to learn more about yourself. I hope you enjoy this.

Todays episode is one of the most important and beautiful episodes I’ve recorded. My brother and I have a deep and long conversation about what it is to be human. What our responsibility is as a human. Our divinity, what we are behind our flesh. We discuss hermeticism and ancient knowledge. We discuss the world we live in, how if we change internally the outside can change. If we come from a place of love and not the mind (which is ego) the world can look different. If you are looking for a reminder of who you are, or something to spark the ember in your heart, I highly recommend this episode. We did not plan this, we were simply discussing a book and took a deep dive into this incredible and mysterious experience called life. The quality of the recording is similar to my earlier episodes. It might feel like you’re sitting in my room with us, there is the sound of a living house in the background. But I promise it’s worth the listen. I hope you enjoy this episode. I have listened to it many times and am so inspired by my brothers words and our conversation.

A quick ten minute episode on what love might be. Maybe it comes with understanding. We can love anyone if we understand them. And if that don’t make you happy I don’t know what will.

This episode is a ramble about the lives our ancestors lived. The lives they didn’t get to live. And how that has effected us and the way we live. The way society functions. The way we feel about ourselves and each other. How we pass down the past to our children, how we live in the past. And many times, a past that is not ours. We inherit the gifts and goodness of our ancestors. But we also inherit their pain and fears and anger. Can we acknowledge and accept them and us in our entirety? So that we can decide if we want to continue those patterns or not? Can we acknowledge that maybe what my ancestors have done and experienced, yours might have also? That we’re more similar than we think? So we can sympathize and love and accept each other more. And in turn love and accept ourselves more. We can become who we are, and not who we were taught to be.

This episode is the first of many. Anger is something I’m very familiar with and not at all familiar with at the same time. What I say here is not definite, just a matter of perspective from where I am in my life right now. I think anger is a protector. I think it also covers up some emotions we may struggle to feel or let out. I think we are taught that some emotions are more favorable than others, so we don’t express them. Especially in a healthy way. I think all feelings are right and true, and if you have one, you have the right to acknowledge it and express it mindfully. I think anger can be held by ourselves and our loved ones. I think there is truth in it. And I believe if we ignore it, that is when we hurt ourselves and others unintentionally. I needed to share a lot of what happened to me in order to convey how I got to this thought process. I hope you can find yourself in what I say. If not, thanks for listening anyway. I love you.

By becoming a patron, you will help me continue to live in a capitalist society (for now). Hopefully, with your contribution, I can buy a microphone. And maybe one day, a van. So we can take this podcast on the road. Or buy a plot of land where we can create a better world. I don't know. I really don't. But I want to share my time with you. I want to create real relationships, starting here but not ending here. So one day you don't have to give me money to live in order to speak to me. I love you. I want to know you and hold you and be there for you. The same way I want to be held and loved and heard. We all want the same things. This is just a place to start. Thank you. Seriously. I've never loved anything more than creating this and finding all of you. 

Love,

Sam

Todays episode is about nudity. Literally and figuratively. How we are born into this world nude. We come as we are. No labels, no judgement, no shame, no embarrassment. We love ourselves and one another. We are open and vulnerable. And somewhere along the line we are told to cover up. That your body is inappropriate. The vulnerability and openness in you is inappropriate. Keep your secrets to yourself. And so we cover our bodies. We cover our minds. We only talk about certain things. We only share the mundane. We don’t share our depth. What we are underneath labels and clothes. And because of this we are also exploited. We are shamed. We don’t love ourselves and each other. This episode is about taking it off. Taking down your walls and letting people see you. So they can be reminded of who they are without shame, but with love.

This is an important episode in my life. It is about identity death. How who you are and what you need to do or be can change. The roles that we’ve subconsciously been given don’t need to stay that way. We can be and do whatever we’d like. We can say no to things we’ve been made to believe we have to do. And when you do, the system you’ve been integrated into will crumble. Be it in your family or society. This episode is about libertarian. It’s about loving yourself and being a human and being able to show up for yourself and others in the way you want to, not the way you feel you need to.

This episode is inspired by a talk from J. Krishnamurti and real life events. Why do we feel alone? When something happens to us, and presents loneliness to us, can we accept that as it is instead of what we want it to be or what it “should” be? If someone makes me feel alone, and I say “well I wouldn’t feel alone if this happened”, I am not accepting what is actually present. I am not able to find the root of my loneliness. And then do something about it.
