A four-part miniseries where I explore my spirituality through four interconnected stories in the ancient writings. In the last episode I unravel the statement “…You will know the truth and the truth will set you free” and why I believe Jesus was talking about a liberation from the voice of judgment and connecting to the truth inherently living inside ourselves.

A four-part miniseries where I explore my spirituality through four interconnected stories in the ancient writings. In episode #3, I explore the profound and enigmatic encounter between Jesus and a Samaritan woman and why it is a story about becoming free from judgment through an invitation to genuinely connect. Also, what “living water” means, and why I think Jesus uses “worship” as a euphemism for unrestricted connection to life.

The Eighth Affirmation in the beatitude series, where Jesus gives eight odd blessing statements that maps a transformative journey of rupturing dependency on others and the external world in order to feel secure and satisfied, to a vibrant and passionate embrace of life lived from within, opening us up to enjoy this mysterious existence in freedom, compassion, joy, authenticity and aliveness. The last episode of the beatitude series, exploring the reason why the “peacemakers” become vilified and the targets of attack. Who really killed Jesus and a different theory of understanding his death. Also, how we tranquilize or attempt to extinguish our “problems” and disorders rather than learn from them, and why the “scapegoats” of our humanity might be the reflectors and illuminators of truth needed to generate change.

Part two in the miniseries where I explore my spirituality outside the walls of religion. In this episode I unravel Jesus’s statement, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Also, why “conversion” is not about changing religion, what humble means and why that is the route to finding this childlike nature within.

The Seventh Affirmation in the beatitude series, where Jesus gives eight odd blessing statements that maps a transformative journey of rupturing dependency on others and the external world in order to feel secure and satisfied, to a vibrant and passionate embrace of life lived from within, opening us up to enjoy this mysterious existence in freedom, compassion, joy, authenticity and aliveness. Here I discuss and explore why the “peacemakers” Jesus talks about are those that have found an inner peace, and disrupt, challenge, and confront the artificial systems of manufactured “peace” at large and on an individual level. The peacemaker is an anomaly to society who boldly, lovingly and passionately embraces life and addresses the illusions and false realities we construct to avoid facing the truths living within ourselves. Also, I talk about a new way of understanding sacrifice and martyrdom and how the “sons of God” affirmation is a subversive, disruptive and political designation that confronts the reigning systems of power, sustained through control and violence.

A new miniseries where I explore my spirituality through four interconnected stories in the ancient writings. In this first episode, what did Jesus mean when he said, “The Kingdom of Heaven is Within (Inside) You?”. Also, I talk about the difficult and equally wonderful journey of losing religion and belief, becoming “naked”, facing my inner self and the joys of seeking.

How dating unearthed my own unfinished work/pain from my childhood, why I looked to an ex-girlfriend to fill a void within, and how these past relationships and heartbreak drew me closer to myself.

New dating episode! Here I talk about my dating experiences and the realization of why dating is a wonderfully “selfish” endeavor of finding my identity, unearthing my genuineness, and the kind of intimate connection I inherently desire. Also, the importance of having that “daaamn!” factor… according to my chiropractor.

The Sixth Affirmation in the beatitude series, where Jesus gives eight odd blessing statements that maps a transformative journey of rupturing dependency on others and the external world in order to feel secure and satisfied, to a vibrant and passionate embrace of life lived from within, opening us up to enjoy this mysterious existence in freedom, compassion, joy, authenticity and aliveness. Here, I journey into understanding this “pure at heart” phrase, discovering it to mean a state of genuineness; where one lives out of the core of one’s self, finding and trusting their genuine voice and expressing such in undiluted honesty and truth. I talk about ceremonial cleansing rituals, why shame and judgment are the oppressors that cause us to feel “dirty”, where these “forces” originate, how our disorders are vital communicative agents of truth and what Jesus might indicate when he talks about “seeing God”.

The Fifth Affirmation in the Beatitude Series, where Jesus gives eight odd blessing statements that maps a transformative journey of rupturing dependency on others and the external world in order to feel secure and satisfied, to a vibrant and passionate embrace of life lived from within, opening us up to enjoy this mysterious existence in freedom, compassion, joy, authenticity and aliveness. In this episode, I unravel that mercy, when stripped of its popular religious connotations of forgiveness and repentance, is actually this deep, visceral and inherent nature of compassionately embracing the stumbling journey of living and discovering one’s true humanity. Mercy is rather this state of engaging the transformational process with a full and unrestricted capacity to feel and interact with life, especially approaching one’s self and others with the remedial balm of humor and laughter.
