SoundBalming with Dr. LaMarr Darnell Shields

The ancient Egyptians' attitude towards death was influenced by their belief in immortality. They regarded death as a temporary interruption rather than the cessation of life. To ensure the continuity of life after death, people paid homage to the gods, both during and after their life on earth. When they died, they were mummified so the soul would return to the body, giving it breath and life.

Author Robert Ginsberg started researching the evidence for survival of consciousness and immortality soon after his daughter died in 2002. Devastated by the loss, he needed science to tell him if she still existed in some form.  He stopped by the SoundBalming to share his story. 

In 2004, Bob and his wife Phran founded Forever Family Foundation. Bob hosts the Signs of Life radio show, is past editor of Signs of Life Magazine, heads the foundation's Medium Evaluation Certification Program, and writes a blog at beyondthefivesenses.com. Bob and Forever Family Foundation are currently featured in the Netflix series Surviving Death.

When you are distracted by life events, you let go of yourself to meet the needs of others. You work late for your boss, you help someone build a business, you support other’s dreams, you volunteer and give of yourself. All the while, you let go of your own dreams or leave them in a box in the garage.

What do monks, Olympians, and entrepreneurs all share in common?

At first glance, it is the differences between the three callings that appear most starkly. Monks devote their life to inconspicuous prayer and work in the stillness and stability of a monastic setting, while Olympians train and mold their body into a state of almost inhuman physical prowess, often gaining fame and vast fan followings as they do so. Meanwhile, entrepreneurs innovate, thinking outside the box and presenting new goods or services at the doors of the public. Although in quite different ways, monks, Olympians, and entrepreneurs do share a common pursuit: the pursuit of greatness.

In this episode,  Reginald Gant shares the habits to help you unlock your greatness. Reginald  is a man of many dreams who is out to serve the masses. He is a 4X author and Founder of Serve4Men, LLC and the SERVE principles, which is a personal development vehicle used to educate men, fathers, and husbands.

Reginald’s purpose is to assist men in finding their way because there is no manual or guide for manhood and fatherhood.

Philosophers, researchers, spiritual leaders—they’ve all debated what makes life worth living. Is it a life filled with happiness or a life filled with purpose and meaning? Is there even a difference between the two?

Think of the human rights activist who fights oppression but ends up in prison—is she happy? Or the social animal who spends his nights (and some days) jumping from party to party—is that the good life?

These aren’t just academic questions. They can help us determine where we should invest our energy to lead the life we want.

In the episode,  Sid Garza-Hillman and I  explore these questions in depth, trying to tease apart the differences between a meaningful life and a happy one. 

Sid Garza-Hillman is the author of Approaching the Natural: A Health Manifesto and Raising Healthy Parents: Small Steps, Less Stress, and a Thriving Family.

Over the last seven months, as the Covid-19 virus has continued its spread, our worlds have become smaller. Working from home has morphed from a novelty to the mundane. Travel for business or pleasure, once routine, has become nonexistent. Seeing friends, going to our favorite restaurants, visiting family — the list of things we can’t do, and won’t be able to for months to come, is endless.

Peter Quinn stopped to talk about how the lack of novelty in our Covid existence can negatively impact our creativity — our ability to put ideas together in new, useful combinations to solve problems.

 Peter Quinn describes what he does as being a creative director working at the nexus of brand, culture, and purpose. As a creative professional, he helps organizations grow, engage, shift beliefs and attitudes, and sometimes what he makes inspires people to act. Peter believes that everyone contains many selves. His past experience of being a performer in bands, painter, curator, video creator, and even little league baseball coach, father, and husband– has allowed him to bring a lens to his projects– one that is uniquely his.
