  • 10. birth/life/death...

    It's my birthday tomorrow!

    And I'm thinking about how thin the lines between birth and death and life are

    (and how the human tradition of birthday celebration is actually strange)

  • 9. Jesus take the wheel (you can't park the car there!)

    "What if I give Jesus the wheel and we end up crashing?"


    In this episode, I share the more chaotic side of the conversation around surrender. Don't be fooled into thinking it's all sunshine and daisies and you'll never suffer again. Instead, realise that the suffering of surrender might hurt less (and even be more magical) than the hurt of attachment/aversion. Pick your flavour...

  • 8. Blessed are those f*cked by the Lord

    "To open myself up to God is to invite the big orgasmic, electric current, wanting to happen in and through me"


    On Jesus and St Teresa of Avila. On bearing witness to suffering and letting it pierce our hearts. On being the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

  • 7. "I am the corrupt politician"

    Humans (unconsciously) desire pain, suffering, hatred and crime. The desire become extremely dangerous when it is unconscious.

    And why is it unconscious? Because we pretend to be "civil/holy/clean" humans and end up discarding our "dirt"... to our own detriment.

    [unscripted, raw and straight from my heart to yours]


    "No one is just one person, you, for example, are both Cain and Abel"

    -Josè Saramago, Cain (2009)


    P.S: I was actually so afraid of speaking about this.

  • 6. Dirtiness is next to Godliness

    "God is with me when I'm doom-scrolling on Instagram while taking a dump." God is with me always.


    In this episode, we explore the idea of dirt as a cultural phenomenon that establishes order, power relations and cultural dynamic. In every culture, dirt is loathed, rejected and condemned. But what if dirt is natural, or it makes us who we are? What if Dirtiness is Next to Godliness?
