This podcast aims at striking the right balance between commitment to things and people that are within the range of what we like or love and can or must do, and detachment toward everything else.

This podcast is all about adaptation, or the capacity to constantly realign our purpose with the course of life that is always changing. Misery, from this perspective, amounts to clinging to things that have become impossible or impractical, versus letting go and moving on, toward things that are both desirable and feasible.

This podcast calls our attention to the process of habituation, which renders us insensitive to beneficial things that have become familiar and predictable. We need to avoid taking these things for granted and losing our ability to be thankful for them, insofar as they help us live and thrive.

This podcast stresses the fact that our consciousness is a malleable interface between the world and our emotional self. Within that interface, our attitude is a software of sorts that runs on our cerebral hardware and determines how we feel about things. The key is to write this software in such a way that the focus is placed on the positive side of things, while the negative side is acknowledged, but not exaggerated.

This podcast makes the point that, notwithstanding our best theoretical frameworks, be they scientific, philosophical, or religious, the universe still appears magical, unless we are so naïvely impressed by our so-called explanations that we fail to get this point.

This podcast stresses the importance of acquainting ourselves deeply and meaningfully with reality through philosophical inquiry, above and beyond our cultural assumptions that are the mindless product of social conditioning.

This podcast sets the question of truth against the backdrop of consciousness, as the stage upon which truth is conceived about reality, based on our perceptions of it. The language of reality is thus translated in the language of our sensitivity, besides other human languages posing a problem of fidelity to their model.

This podcast highlights fragmentation as a feature of rational thought that relates to the practice of analysis and the use of language. It also encourages a holistic approach to the conceptualization of reality: one that is consistent with both the complexity and the unity of things.

This podcast on some points overlaps my previous podcast entitled ULTIMATE FOUNDATIONS. I nevertheless offer it to my listeners because it includes additional insights that they may find intellectually stimulating. 

This podcast provides an analytical breakdown of our self as composed of three distinct but indivisible aspects: our acquired habits, our genetic makeup, and the fundamental creative principle at the heart of everything in the universe, including us.
