Ever wondered what you're really seeing—or better yet, what you're missing? In this podcast, inspired by the profound insights of E.J. Gold, we dive into the concept of the "clear light," the luminous, fundamental awareness hidden behind the veil of daily life. This isn't about esoteric visions or rare spiritual experiences; it's about discovering what's already here, subtly present in every moment.

When E.J. asked, "Where is the clear light right now?" it wasn't just a rhetorical question—it was a call to attention, a gentle nudge toward awakening in our ordinary lives. If we can't perceive this clear light now, how do we expect to recognize it later, when everything we know falls away?

In this episode, we'll explore why the clear light goes unnoticed, how to cultivate the presence required to perceive it, and the significance this simple act holds for both life and its inevitable transitions.

Join us in uncovering the magic hidden in plain sight. Can you see what's been here all along?

Listen now and find the clear light that's been waiting for your gaze.

In this episode, Orin and Mira explore the practice of living with the phrase “This is a dream” as a guide. How does this simple reminder shift our perception of daily life?

Now simmering on all spiritual burners.

Do you enjoy being mildly annoyed by other people? No? Well… what if I told you it could be the secret to your spiritual evolution?

In this episode, Orin and Mira stir up a spicy little teaching from E.J. Gold about enduring the unpleasant manifestations of others—without losing your cool, your conscience, or your lunch. It’s about presence, pressure, and the alchemical magic of not exploding.

Inspired by the latest Substack article, but you don’t need to read it first. Just bring your curiosity and maybe a wooden spoon.

Spoiler alert: the stew pot is your life. And yes, you’re the one doing the simmering.

What happens when we’re not pulled by desire or pushed by aversion?

This week’s podcast is a companion to the article The Space Between. Orin and Mira explore the second line of a four-part mantra that helps us meet life without being pulled by desire or pushed by aversion—a practice for navigating the subtle forces that shape our reactions, choices, and sense of self.

“Neither attracted nor repelled”

—Simple words, but not easy to live.

In this episode, we sit with that phrase—its discomfort, its invitation, and the surprising freedom that opens up when we stop being driven by reaction. Through story, reflection, and lived experience, we explore what it means to act from presence rather than impulse.

What if the sound of your own humming could become a bell of awakening?

In this 5-minute reflection, Orin and Mira share how an ordinary habit—humming—opened an unexpected doorway into self-observation and presence. Through this gentle, grounded story, we’re reminded that even the most fleeting behaviors can reveal unseen layers of ourselves—and offer a chance to return to now.

Listen, pause, breathe—and maybe catch yourself humming.

Strings, Silence and Surrender

Practice, practice, practice. But what happens when practice becomes presence? When effort dissolves into attention?

In this short podcast, Orin and Mira explore the art of showing up—whether in music, in spiritual work, or in life itself. Five minutes with a guitar can reveal more than just notes and chords—it unveils the silent spaces where resistance meets surrender.

This podcast is inspired by my article on Substack, where I explore the interplay of practice, presence, and surrender. If you'd like to read more, check it out here: https://everytimelessmoment.substack.com/p/strings-silence-and-surrender?r=46wcig

Join us in this reflection on listening, letting go, and simply being with what is.

Staring Into Nothingness

What happens when we truly confront Nothingness—not as a concept, but as an experience?

This Deep Dive isn’t a reading of the article—it’s an extended exploration. In this discussion, the key ideas will be unpacked and analyzed, reflecting on the nature of Nothingness, the dissolution of the personal self, and what it means to be transformed by life.

With insights from E.J. Gold’s Life As Theater, this dialogue offers fresh perspectives beyond the written article.

What if every emotion—yes, every one—could be used as fuel for presence?

In this episode, Orin and Mira explore the surprising idea that all emotions, not just the painful or difficult ones, can become gateways to awakening. Drawing from E.J. Gold’s The Human Biological Machine as a Transformational Apparatus and Invocation of Presence, they unpack the Work’s definition of “negative emotion,” the trap of identification, and the liberating practice of using energy—not suppressing it—to invoke presence.

Along the way, they discuss:

Why even joy can be mechanical

How to work with emotions without labeling them “good” or “bad”

A practice that turns emotional charge into conscious awareness

What shifts when we stop trying to manage our feelings—and start using them

Whether you're in the middle of a storm or basking in a moment of happiness, this episode is an invitation to go deeper, see more clearly, and wake up to the power already moving through you.
