The David Shaw Podcast

What ever happened to, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country…” Rights are worthless without responsibility. We as citizens share a responsibility to ourselves and to one another. Otherwise, our rights really mean nothing, are worth merely nothing and will gradually cause more harm than good. What can we do about it? We must approach our individual rights with individual responsibility.

If you’re honest with yourself, would you say that your life has a reasonable amount of meaning? Or do you think your situation could be improved? Maybe you aren’t exactly sure how…In this episode we navigate around the idea of tomorrow being the first day of your remaining lifetime. How might you utilize everything you’ve learned and experienced up til now and transition into your next sunrise with a sense of purpose and personal direction? Is your energy better spent playing the victim or the victor? Tune in and feel encouraged to think on behalf of yourself!

This episode includes a personal reading of two separate journal entries. Both recent and both seemingly opposite. Most every form of entertainment presented to the modern American is at best a strategically manufactured fabrication of the human aimed at corporate or governmental gain. At worst, a leading source of societal division, individual confusion and a habitual hi-jacking of one’s mind without consent. It’s important to witness what authentic human behavior looks like as an alternative to such cultural garbage. I share myself openly in hope that you may see your truest self inwardly. Take a dive into my mind and listen now!

I’ve read recently that the human niche is, indeed, niche switching. Society has evolved so rapidly that no one alive today has the capacity to truly understand the complexity of our newest niche. With that, what adaptations could be made in your own life? Maybe it begins with taking a break from things previously relied on. Maybe there’s much of which you’ve been unaware of. Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to rehabilitate ourselves, and our society, in order to preserve our humanity. “I know there’s something more…You know there’s so much more…Away we go!”

The demand of life can often times incline any individual to look for ways to supplement their ability to feel good. Does society itself function in such a way as to cause suffering for the majority of the individuals that comprise it? If so, what can be done about it? Tune into the show and think for yourself!

To be a housed, nourished and compensated American citizen/worker, it costs. Often times more than what an individual will be paid in return. But shouldn’t you should be grateful and positive and blah, blah, blah…?

There are reasons to, and not to, trust major institutions. This makes things difficult, especially when dealing with the pandemic.

Included in this episode are the newly updated direction of this podcast, as well as a short talk regarding the most appropriate ways to spend our ‘thought energy’

If the playing field were level, would you be as ‘successful’ as you are now? Or have your circumstances helped you in ways you’ve yet to consider?

Unplug from your routine and calibrate yourself to the rhythmic happenings of flowing nature.
