  • #25: Hatred can never cease through hatred

    In this week’s episode we explore our culture's preference for revenge over progress, and how certain emotions tend to breed more of the same. We’ve both agreed that this is our favourite episode so far (for real). Enjoy!

  • #24: What is easiest to see is often overlooked

    In this episode we explore what we take for granted. What has become so obvious in our lives that it has melted into the background? As often with discussions like this we find we end the episode feeling much better than we started, we hope you do too.

    This week's quote is: “What is easiest to see is often overlooked.” by Milton H. Erickson.

  • #23: Why don't people want to be who they are?

    It seems that we spend our lives longingly looking over at others and their qualities, while rarely appreciating ourselves. In this episode we explore our own experience of comparison, and who we believe we really are.

    This week's quote is from the poem ‘What if there is no need to change’ by Oriah Mountain Dreamer: "What if the question is not, ‘Why am I so infrequently the person I really want to be?’ But ‘why do I so infrequently want to be the person I really am?'"

  • #22: Our first 4 months of podcasting

    As Oskar is away on retreat this week we thought it would be a good chance to reflect back on our four months podcasting. It’s a chance to see inside how we’re currently working, what we’ve learnt so far, and where we hope to take you in the future!

  • #21: Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

    In this episode we explore our readiness to ‘cast the first stone’. What is it that makes us so willing to condemn others, and what does this say about ourselves?

    This week’s quote is an adaptation from Jesus in John, 8:7 “Let [those] who are without sin cast the first stone.”

  • #20: Generosity expresses our interdependence

    What makes a generous act: it’s perception, or it’s intention? In this episode we explore the experience of feeling connected and what it feels like to give from that space.

    This week’s quote is by spiritual teacher and author Jack Kornfield: “Each act of generosity is a recognition of our interdependence, an expression of our Buddha nature”.

  • #19: Enjoy things for what they are

    In this week's episode we explore the pitfalls of our desires, and the beauty of impermanence. We had a great time recording this episode and we hope that comes through!

    The quote is from this article: https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/06/28/king-for-just-one-day/

    This weeks quote really feels like one to be experienced, and so Oskar begins by guiding us in a meditation. Join us in exploring a profound reflection on who we really are (tall order we know).

    This weeks quote: “Wisdom is knowing I am nothing, Love is knowing I am everything, and between the two my life moves.” by non-dual teacher Nisargadatta Maharaj.

  • #17: The opposite of a deep truth can also be true

    In this week's episode we explore the validity of opposites. In many cases it feels safer to pick a side and discredit it’s opposite, however is it possible that the extremes are both equally true, even necessary for a healthy world?

    This week’s quote: “You can recognize a deep truth by the feature that its opposite is also a deep truth.” by physicist Frank Wilczek

  • #16: The dark of the womb and the grave

    In this week's episode we have a refreshing discussion about death, and its inextricable connection to birth itself. It seems that as a culture we spend so much time avoiding this topic, that it actually feels liberating going into it!

    This week’s quote: “The future is dark, with a darkness as much of the womb as the grave” by activist and author Rebecca Solnit. This quote is from her book Hope in the Dark (which is highly recommended, incredible stuff).
