  • S.O. 029 - On Understanding, Truth, Ideology, and the Union of Opposites

    To understand is to be free concept from a Baruch Spinoza quote kicks off the episode. In your life is freedom the goal? What are the integral values that orient your discrimination and action? What is the true reality? How far is that outside of us? We get back into the reality and truth universe and throw a few other ideas at the wall. We explore the comforting aspect of adopting an ideology and the "freedom" that brings in comparison to the freedom of being free of ideological frameworks and your own confidence in approaching and discerning sources of reality generating information resources. Both and is explored as a union of opposites. We jump around these ideas and segue into uncharted waters at the end regarding censorship.

  • S.O. 028 - On Reality, Manifestation, Exponential Factor, and Change

    We jump off with a quote from Marcus Aurelius and delve into the idea of thought shaping reality. How far can that idea be pushed? We relate this to notions of manifest destiny and the limits of thoughts and their impact in relation to action. From thoughts to beliefs, to habits, to the ideal. Do you think there is anything that could function as an EF - Exponential Factor in your growth? Something that if focused on would spark rapid change? Or are you an EFD - Exponential Factor Denier, and think that idea is nonsense and useless. We also touch on the relationship between personal and larger social change. Also and as well as other things are also talked about. Everything is doable - depends how fast you want it.

  • S.O. 027 - On Truth, Anomalies, History, and New Age Spirituality

    We pick up somewhat from where we left off with discussing anomalies. What do you do with information that is an outlier to the rest of your current frameworks of reality? We explore that in relation to alien abduction experiences and other powerful anomalous phenomenon. We extrapolate a metaphor of reality frameworks as a cityscape and build (pun intended) upon that as we ride this wave. Why was Gobekli Tepe buried? We sway from Gobekli Tepe over to questions about New Age spiritual beliefs and wrap up from there.

    Can you keep up with the ever-changing news cycle? Also aliens. Do you believe in aliens? Do you think they are here, have been here before, will be here? The news is now happy to publish stories one after another about military disclosure regarding UAP's. What do you do with that information? Forget about it and move on to other distractions - or figure out what that means? We jump into the crazy topic of reality anomalies and the different ways of potentially managing them.

  • S.O. 025 - On Unsatisfactory-ness, Attachments, Contradiction, and Psychology

    Do you agree with the common idea shared in religious and philosophical traditions throughout time that points to unsatisfactory-ness as a fundamental truth of the human experience? We discuss this after quoting Hermes Trismegistus. The ensuing discussion involves words like desire, wants, needs, hope, future, suffering. Is the desire to live without desire just fuelling the very thing you wish to extinguish? Join us as we ride waves related to the psychology of wanting to detach from ego in an attempt to alleviate suffering.

  • S.O. 024 - On Meaning, Consequence, Dharma, and Choice

    We solve everything in this episode. We figure everything out ! Does everything that happens have a meaning? Have you ever been walking around and feel like you are noticing events or signs that for some reason hold a deeper meaning? Do you feel that every action you make is significant? We jump off from a quote from Aldous Huxley and see where that takes us. We discuss conversations with self regarding cause and effect and play around with considerations regarding doing or not doing.

  • S.O. 023 - On Knowing, Truth Claims, Motivation, and Self

    Do you ever wonder if the people we quote actually said what we are told they said? How much of your knowing comes from knowing how much you don't know? Do you agree that we are in a time where we are questioning where all of our information is coming from - and if so - what is the solid ground to stand on? We explore this in episode 22, while also exploring the idea of growing motivational ideas from within rather than relying on external motivation. We also explore the ideas of self, ego, and navigating perspectives of yourself as an entity existing in the world.

  • S.O. 022 - On Mister Answer Guy, War of Gods, The Free Miracle, Belief

    Do you explore being one who asks questions vs being the one who answers as an exploration of mindset? Do you sometimes feel resistance in attempting to have an answer when you feel you are not informed well enough? We explore the questions surrounding the possibility of there being a universal value system that could be applicable across ideological schools of thought.  We also explore the Free Miracle of the big bang and perspectives of approaching claims about the origin of our universe. We also get back into the power of belief and what those ideas about our origin might mean to the person who believes or doesn't believe.

    Do you strive to have a conscious conversation? Do you think your use of language is your psyches mode of understanding reality?

This podcast starts up with a realignment with our goal approach towards conversation within the podcast, we evolve the conversation into consciousness - discuss the phenomenon within thought schools regarding higher consciousness.
