Sonic Gravity

Enter my mind and see the universe through the eyes of a madman.  When you look into the abyss, the abyss looks back into you--and when it does, only then will you see a reflection immune to Impostor Syndrome.   In the crucible of madness, your mind will be purified; a mind with a killer conviction, unbound by values outside its control.

Enter my mind, and see what I see when I consider discrimination against American Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) people.

In this episode, I examine the "faith based" underpinnings of LGBTQ discrimination, Biblical myths used by Christians to judge and look down on LGBTQ people, and ask the question:  since we know LGBTQ people occupy some of the greatest positions of leadership in the conservative, evangelical, American political ideology (like Jerry Falwell Jr., his wife Becky Falwell, and their pool boy lovers), who have never been accused of infringing on Christian religious liberties, maybe we can agree that there's room in our churches, and in our hearts, for all LGBTQ people--not just the ones who hide it?

Enter my mind and see what I see.

When people do us wrong, what do we do?  

It's a certainty that people will hurt us and do wrong by us; we can't stop that hurt from coming, but we can stop it from staying with us and polluting our lives.

And when we allow someone who hurt us, to poison our lives, we know from the Physics of Leadership, that we are changing everyone in our orbit--and if we allow the poison to infect us as we are changing the people orbiting in our gravity, we are allowing the poison to infect them too.

So we don't forgive to justify or excuse what they did--we forgive so that we can move on and resist the persisting damage that they'd inflict on us if we held on to that offense and held that grudge.  And, whenever we ask for someone's forgiveness, their answer doesn't matter--we're already getting on with our lives, and we're doing them a favor, because we're giving them the opportunity to move on with theirs too.

Thank you.

It's hard to express how grateful I am that so many people listen to Sonic Gravity and from all over the world.  

Thank you for sharing it and thank you for listening.  I know you are always in my gravity.  In this episode, I want to make sure that you know that I am in yours, and you are changing me.

Our tribe streams from:  Spain, Netherlands, Mexico, Malaysia, Kenya, Jordan, Israel, Iran, Indonesia, Hungary, Ghana, Finland, Chile, Bermuda, New Zealand, India, Brazil, Austria, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Germany, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Australia, and the USA.

You are all amazing.

Controlling Destiny:  is it something we do, or is it a thing under which we live?

In this episode, we explore the paradox of destiny, reconcile mutual coexistence between the theory of free will and destiny, and reveal the possibility that we are in thrall to a universal illusion of choice. 

Enter my mind and see what I see, walking out of the light and into the Darkness.  Come with me through the Valley of Shadow, like the Prodigal Son, following a Godless secular path, and through Grace and Mercy that surpasses human understanding, look up with me and see we are standing in the shade of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and that God brought us, like stumbling children, back home into the Garden of Eden.

In this episode, you will enter my mind and see abortion through the eyes of a madman.

And if you spend an hour in my sonic gravity, you will see how, in the abortion context, conservatives abandon their values of limited government to legislate from inside the womb, and liberal vegans who eat plants in the name of a cow's right to live, abandon their respect for human life, and in the name of women's rights wherever they live, are ready to silence beating hearts of women who still live inside their mothers.

And at the end, you will see what I see; you will see that the discussion of when life begins is irrelevant to American Abortion Law.  Because if we accept government power to prohibit abortions today, we submit ourselves to the risk of government mandated abortions tomorrow.  

And the only resolution to the debate is the development of the medical technology to end a pregnancy without taking a life.

What does the COVID-19 toilet paper shortage, the January 6, 2021 assault on the capitol and Walmart HR policy have in common?  Yep: The Tragedy of the Commons.

In this episode, I invite you into my mind, and you will see that fear causes our fears to become our reality in fact.   You will see how the richest corporations tax the people and have created an American Shadow Oligarchy, and that conservative resistance to minimum wage increases in the name of price controls punishes taxpayer buying power--which is the functional equivalent of raising prices.

Kids don't come with an owner's manual.

We daddys kind of figure things out on the fly--like building a plane in flight.  But there are some things we can probably all agree on.  It's our role, and the way we father our kids either leads them to greatness, or down the drain, or somewhere in between.

And we'll always be fathers, but we'll only have this golden opportunity to raise our children as daddys for a season: tucking them in, teaching them lessons and values, and  managing discipline.

Even though we enforce rules to reflect our values, our values are not as simple as rules--and it can be important to realize that sometimes, the character traits that will make our children successful adults might be the same traits that make them difficult children.

In this episode, we unravel the mystery of tornado formation that has baffled the scientific community for 138 years.

The podcast cover shows a temperature inversion:  a layer of heavy dry dense cold air crushing down on a layer of yellow, warm, high pressure, wet air.  In this episode, we know what we know about basic chemistry and physics, to discover that tornados are not updrafts of warm air as the scientific community believes, but down drafts of heavy cold air, through a wormhole like penetration from above . . . triggering a second concentric sheathe of latent heat and upward drafting vorticity that surrounds the down flowing wormhole of cold air like angry climbing ivy.

This second concentric vortex of rising air is the "Voorhees Effect" that has mislead science's greatest minds into believing that a tornado is merely an updraft.

Having come to understand what a tornado truly is, only then can we take the most effective steps to protect ourselves from tornado forces--we can fish for tornados, we can bleed energy from their supercells and weaken or preclude their formation entirely.
