I talk with Justin Goeman who had one of the most watched live streams during the early days of the Minneapolis protests in the wake of George Floyd's murder. We get into politics, culture, art, spirituality, the future, the power of institutions, and the need for people to band together and transcend the differences we allow to separate us. Follow him @justingoeman on Instagram, look him up on Facebook, and especially listen to HIS PODCAST "We Are One" wherever you're listening to this one!

This is the most confusing and tumultuous moment our generation has lived through. Is it possible to see it clearly? Give me your thoughts: INSTAGRAM @new_illumination_podcast EMAIL: [email protected]

Thoughts on Practicing Openness and the Active Stance.

Among people both inside and outside Christianity, the true depth of Christ's philosophical and spiritual ideas and the implications of those ideas have been neglected and left unexamined for at least sixty years. We are left with a vapid, shallow, essentially dead religion which has no notion of what it would mean to live life or operate in a way based on the teachings of Christ. Today's "Christians" are left grasping for models exclusively drawn from the past. If they grasp at all. Most are content with the feelings of sanctimony and vague spiritual comfort granted by any belief system that claims to give the user eternal security as a reward for subscription. I expound slightly on my own belief in Christ and His Symbolic Meaning and Reality. In the future I will attempt to discover what the implications of the truths of Christ tell us about how we might better organize our world and live our lives. Enjoy!

A test of my new mic and your willingness to endure the haphazard, convoluted ramblings that I try to pass off as deep insights! Enjoy!

A section from a recording I made on March 6th. I discuss the origin of public education, its effects on cultural and individual psychology, and the ways it has become effectively useless except in instilling a unified, society-wide groupthink constructed to propagate and uphold the institutions and systems upon which our current form of civilization relies. The advantages and disadvantages of these systems and institutions at the time of their foundation notwithstanding, times are changing. The modality of life has changed in ways which make the flourishing of individual lives incompatible with the continuation of the systems and institutions as they have existed. I mentioned the date of the recording above because, interestingly, I recorded this audio prior to any of the state-ordered school closures we are now experiencing. Families have been brought together forcibly by the direct orders of the organizations I am referring to, due to the incompetence of those organizations and their inability to prepare for and deal with a situation truly outside their control. I believe individuals, families, and natural communities will begin to appreciate the value of what we have given up, culturally and as individuals, in trading control over our lives in exchange for the illusion of security found in taking on preformed roles within a complex web of institutions and systems designed to propagate themselves politically and economically, and not to provide for the actual well-being of communities, families, or individuals. This episode is a small section of a longer recording in which I speak about how we might potentially build a society which bypasses and negates the need for the institutions and gives power over the individual's life back to the individual.

But for now, a short treatise on public education. https://youtu.be/kyWFpsAnVuI https://www.edweek.org/ew/section/multimedia/map-coronavirus-and-school-closures.html

This section of Carl Jung's "Man and His Symbols" - the last book he wrote - describes the issues which I am attempting to address and draw attention to perfectly.

The first New Illumination Podcast INTERVIEW episode! Tristan is a chemical engineer, a lover of science, philosophy, theology, literature, and every other cool subject out there!
