Spark My Muse

The prominence of (social/psychological) triangulation leaks a subtle toxin into our common life. You do it. I do it, and we fail to see how poisonous it is to us. What does it entail? How does it happen? What is the cost? And how can we do better? That will be the topic today.

If you ever felt like people were talking about you behind your back, or if you've ever venting to a friend about someone who's driving you crazy, this show is an important one.

To read more about triangulation in detail, go to the show notes at SparkMyMuse.com for a link.

Thank you to listeners, old and new, you mean a lot to me. If you have never rated the show on iTunes, please do that today, and for sharing this episode widely!

This is a most insightful and delightful conversation as you will find. Peter Rollins is a provocative writer, philosopher, storyteller and public speaker who has gained an international reputation for overturning traditional notions of religion and forming communities that do the technology of theology: liturgy. Through parables, seminars, and transformational art, Peter's work reveals something disruptive–like a prophet might: that we can’t be satisfied, that life is difficult, that we can be freed from the tyranny of the pursuit of happiness, and that God is that which we find in the act of loving itself.

::TOPICS COVERED:: Pints and Parables, Irish Pub culture, IKON, memento mori and reveling in the raveling, ghosts and hauntings, his array of upcoming events and free material, The Divine Magician, the lack of lack, jogging in LA, and a deep dive into more. ::SHOW NOTES:: Be sure to stop SparkMyMuse.com for special photos, website and book links and other related link, video embeds, relegated audio, and all sort of goodies that greatly enhance this episode.

It has been said (I think rightly) that ritual came along to combat our core human fears and anxieties. While unexamined or superstitious rituals don't heal our fears, thoughtful sacramental living can add new richness to our lives. This richness may involve ritualizing and celebrating certain meaningful moments by showing how the invisible can represented by the visible. From there, we pull what is only abstract notions from our minds into the tangible world in which we live, love, breath, and move. We can be live a more integrated and more fully embodied life that does not so easily slip into the mind/body dualistic fallacy. Today, I explain this concept and challenge you to leave both pure abstractions behind and unexamined rituals behind and draw out integrated ritual in new ways.

Your support of SparkMyMuse.com means so much to me. I'm so happy that so many new listeners are tuning in. I KNOW it's because current listeners are sharing episodes, writing reviews on iTunes, and Tweeting out messages. Thank you! If you can help out and tell a friend or two to listen in, please do that today! (If you haven't written an iTunes review yet - HEY, Pokey, what are you waiting for? Help a friend out.)

The unmistakable Srini Rao is the CEO of Unmistakable Creative Media. His blogging helped him move into podcasting and animation/media, and now a very successful book about how to find YOUR unmistakable thing. Our conversation is freshingly honest about the foolish traps that ensure us as we pursue our creative dreams, businesses, projects, or adventures. Srini also talks about his own bumpy road to success, how he picks his amazing podcast guests, why he got fired from every job he had, how to recover from failure, and his new book, Unmistakable: Why Only is Better Than Best.
