  • The Monk Without The Funk w/Keith Brewer #1
    In this episode we have on Keith Brewer and discuss some of the many influential experiences in this life from childhood Bible meditations, to contemplating what it is to be an empty vessel and listening to the voice of Spirit as he ventured into the woods night after night as a young child.  We discuss tapping into one's natural store of knowledge and Keith's out of body experiences.
     A little on Keith...  as a child, several doctors told him that a congenital spinal and shoulder misalignment was going to have him in a wheelchair by the age of 13.  He was determined to prove them wrong and eventually stumbled on something called qigong,, and practiced it diligently.  QiGong is a meditational self-healing art from Ancient China.  Many years later, not only is Keith mobile and healthy, but is also an expert fighter and martial arts instructor. His passion today is teaching people how they can remain independent and healthy in addition to becoming stronger and more fit than they ever thought possible. He uses proven Eastern methods and the latest Western science to show his clients how to trigger their body’s innate healing ability so they can live a longer, more fulfilling life. Keith is a Level III Advanced Instructor certified by the American Tai Chi And Qigong Association and is currently deepening his knowledge of East Asian medicine.

  • Zen And The Art Of Overcoming Overwork?

    Hey  Fellow GNTers! So, this is first of My Solo “Shot Of Spirit,” shorter episodes where Daniel and I get to share a little bit more about aspects  of Spirituality With A Twist.🍸  In this one, I do a “guide-through” of Zen Master Hakuin’s Meditations  for “Taxation”—Basically Just Being Over-Worked!—and Who Couldn’t Use That? Because who isn’t overworked in this Modern World? . . . Trick Question: No One! So, it is a meditation for Health and Longevity, but also for Psycho-Spiritual Understanding. Hakuin says it can even help you solve all those Crazy Zen Riddles those Zen Masters are always talking about . . . Does A Tree Falling In The Woods Really Make A "Sound" If No One's There To Hear It?  What IS The Sound Of One Hand Clapping Anyways?  Does A Dog Have A Buddha Nature?!  . . . Questions, Questions!  Enjoy The Episode 🍸

  • Gnostic Personas (Levels pt 2)
    In this episode we conclude our discussion from the previous episode, Levels of Reality but specifically here we are dissecting Gnosticism and the Gnostic idea that there are different potentialities for various personas via the Gnostic lens of the human being.  We compare that to psychological and Ayervedic models and try to find the places in which there is some truth to this as well as highlight the issues with labeling people as one way or another.

  • Spiritual Promiscuity?

    In this episode we discuss the idea of perennial philosophy, or as I playfully label it, Spiritual promiscuity, and its presence in our work, our lives and in our pursuit for understanding.  We highlight the idea of Spirit being immersed in matter, the transcendent nature of the Self and as the question; Is there a pure source of Being?  The answer might just lie in something that is beyond the obvious...
