  • 108: Uncovering the Joy
    Hello my Dear Friends! How are you this fine Day?

    This week I want to talk about to pet ideas of mine. These are old ideas, but I don't mind recircling around valuable methods of self discovery. Especially in my own work. What is a Figment of our Imagination? Can we Trust the Movies we make in our heads about the future? Then I want to discuss Joy. Not pleasure, not Euphoria. But, what is that feeling of connection that emerges whenever we are able to step outside of self interest? This and much, much more on The Ginger Bread Man!

    You can email me at [email protected] with any concerns, ideas, corrections, or if you would simply like to talk! Have a wonderful week!

  • 107: We are Not Locked in Pain
    Hello My friends! Welcome Back!

    I am bedridden this week, so sound quality may be a little funky. I want to discuss pain. What is discomfort? How do we allocate our pain, do we judge it? How do we apply our pain to others? I also want to discuss a new friendship in the psychadelic landscape. Let's Ruminate! Near the end I have a short reading from Voltaire's 'Philosophical Dictionary.' Y'all know how much I love a good definition!

    I will be forever grateful for your attention and ears! I hope you have a wonderful week!

  • 106: Everyone Needs some Peace and Quiet
    Hi Everyone! Welcome Back!

    I Hope you all had a wonderful holiday, and even if you didn't At Least you are past it! What I would like to speak about today concerns this very topic, often during the holidays we have an influx of planning and socializing. We have our families in town, some of whom we do not get along with. And inevidebly we found ourselves tanked with exhaustion at the end of a long week. How do we take care of ourselves? Why is solitude and Rest important? Why don't we all just work 70 hour work weeks? 

    How do we adapt between different needs in our lives, from Work You to Home You, and then to ThanksGiving You? This and much, much more on "The Ginger Bread Man!"

    I hope you have a wonderful week! I will be forevor grateful for your attention and ears!

  • 105: Desert Adventures, Escape from Real Life
    Hello My Friends! Welcome Back!

    I apologize for my Absence, My Son and I left for Vacation and we are just getting back into the swing of things. I have some interesting stories to share with you about my adventures and ruminations. Towards the end of the episode I will paraphrase a short story by Voltaire :"MicroMegas". Afterwhich I have a very interesting quote on Zen Buddhism by Bassui! Thankyou so much for your Attention and Ears! I will always consider how great an opportunity it is for me to do this. Thank You!

  • 104: The Void of Prescense
    Hello My Friends!

    This week I am going to discuss the conundrum of Change. If our goal is finding Prescence in the here and now, what is the nature of that Here and Now? If we are used to finding comfort in stability, maybe we will be rudely awakened when we find no firm ground to stand on.

    I will also be discussing the end of Plato's Republic which concerns his very exciting description of what he believes happens to a soul after death. There are ties to Buddhism and other Religious ideas of Afterlife! I was very intrigued, and I hope that you are too!

    Thankyou so much allowing me your time, I will be forever grateful. If you would like to talk, about anything, please email me at [email protected]

    Have a Wonderful Week!

  • 103: Inseparable from Nature
    Hello All! Welcome back to my little corner of the Universe.. Or is it all of It? Or Both? Hard to say as a human, stumbling around trying to make meaning out off all of these interesting knowledge-bits. What a lovely quest to be on though! Would You like to Join Me?

    This week I want to return to the topic of "What is Natural?" What is "Nature"? Are WE part of it, or are we the ARTificial? Can we ever reclaim our home within everything else? How different are we from that housefly, or the Deer?

    I will be using ideas obtained from reading in John Stuart Mill's essay on Nature, and The Three Pillars of Zen by Roshi Philip Kapleau. I will be also using my own thoughts and ruminations. I hope you enjoy.

  • 102: A Fish in Search of Water
    Hello My Friends!

    This week I would like to discuss some of Plato's ideas. Plato being a philosopher of Greek's Hellenistic Period. Why do we do what we do? What makes something Right and Good? Behind the subjectivity of opinion, is there away to benefit the most? How would you redesign a country to perpetuate the most "Good'? This and much, much more on "The Ginger Bread Man"!

    You can email me at [email protected] 

    I will be forever grateful for your attention and ears! Have a Great Week!

    Again I apologize for the sound quality, I cannot locate the weird buzz throughout the last few episodes and I cannot currently afford new equipment. I will fix it Though! Meanwhile I am still going to try to keep creating material!
