We continue our conversation around hope and despair. This time we’re focusing mostly on suffering and the important role that it plays in our lives, as counterintuitive as that sounds. If you need a word of comfort, I hope that this episode will be a soothing listen for you. Thank you for joining us!

We’re back with more weight, friends! First, before things get heavy, Diamalynne complains about her lack of coffee which is obviously the biggest issue going on anywhere right now. Then we get into God, so you can clearly see where the transition happens. (I’m trying to think of a joke about having enough caffeine in my coffee to meet God but it’s not working out for me.) Thank you for joining us!

Buckle in folks, we’ve got a pretty heavy topic for the next month. We’re talking about hope and despair, the relationship between them, and how both can exist simultaneously. This week, we focus more on defining some words we’re using and trying to bring a more normalizing and comforting approach to talking about despair. Even though it may be an uncomfortable subject to face head on, we hope you’ll be able to find some helpful notions in these conversations. Thank you for joining us this week!

Today we start out with something more in Diamalynne’s wheelhouse - shouting out commenters!!!! Thank you all for leaving comments and reviews, it really does help us out a TON with this show :) you’re all the best! We then get to a couple of randomly picked topics out of Doc’s bingo cage, including the term Identified Patient and the concept of suicide by cop. Thanks for joining us!

THWIP!! We’re web-shootin’ our way into more comics, but this time we’re deconstructing this character from a Buddhist perspective. Gather round as we sling tales of Peter Parker and Miles Morales, and compare the ways the two of them differ when it comes to their compassion and belief around what their great responsibility is. Thank you for joining us this week!

Side note: thank you for bearing with me on this gap between episodes, between the holidays and some technical problems it took me a little while to get this one done 😅 we’re so back, baby!

Today we have dear friend Jo in the studio, here to talk to us about her experience and observations about running the theater department at a small high school. She walks us through how rewarding it can be to teach kids about regulating their emotions, taking on and understanding someone else’s life circumstances, and watching them draw parallels to their own life and growing from them. Diamalynne says approximately 13 words in this episode. Thank you for joining us today!

We have dear friend Dr. Jon Leggett in the studio today, here to talk with us about what it’s like being a psychologist with a license to prescribe in this modern time. We chat about suffering (as we tend to do on this podcast) and some potential causes thereof. There are two very smart and educated men talking in this episode, and Diamalynne is just happy to be here :) Thank you for joining us!

What would you do if you had a bunch of money just cha-ching right into your bank account for free today? Would you do something similar to what we would do? Would you do something totally different? Let us know what you would do with your newfound riches (and also can I borrow some money) Thank you for joining us today!

We’re trying something a little different today here, folks. Instead of one big chewy topic, we’ve got a few smaller topics to poke and prod. Let us know what you think if this episode style, and if you have any topic suggestions please message them to @dlotmpod on Instagram. Thanks for joining us!

BOY HOWDY WE GET ROWDY

Hello friends, welcome back to another very calm and normal episode of the Deep Lore of the Mind podcast here on Spotify, Amazon, and Apple. There are definitely no giggles in this episode, and we take every word very seriously. On a completely unrelated note, make sure your kids can’t hear this episode when you’re listening. Thanks for joining us!
