ZLORD podcast

The title of this episode is not a question, but a statement. teZa and Carter Lord, cohosts of ZLORD go deeper into their last episode's topic, "to continually keep trying in life." Here, using personal experiences of their own, they examine in detail one of the many inspiring statements made by the famous physicist Albert Einstein, who married spirituality to his approach of exploring scientific laws of the Universe, with such pronouncements as: "It is high time the ideal of success should be replaced with the ideal of service."

Sounding groggy and hoarse, both Carter and teZa, ZLORD's cohosts, are recovering from their first do-see-do with Covid-19. Even though they've tried their best to avoid it, the virus got them at an indoor family wedding. Ok, so they got sick. Here they explain how getting sick isn't anyone's fault, and there's no blame or shame in contracting this worldwide plague. With anything in life, we keep trying. Not giving up is the name of the Game of Life. Recuperate when down, but step right back into the ring and keep swinging, this is this episode's message (interrupted by croaking, coughing, but NOT Infectious, yet hopefully Tryinig-ness is contagious).

Many of us realize there are just as many positive opportunities these days as there are so-called "bad" things happening. It's all how we perceive life, how things affect us. In this episode ZLORD cohosts teZa and Carter Lord discuss how it's always a choice, how we perceive any aspect of life. Specific examples of choosing to be positive are given for challenging situations. All around us, everyday, every moment, we get challenged by others. It's totally up to us whether we let someone else's annoying ways (or dangerous, or depressing, neurotic, "not nice" behavior) affect our birth-right privilege of feeling content, even blissful, with the way things are. Sure, we want to help others, but helping ourself be content is our main responsibility.

One thing is for sure: Everything changes! Here the cohosts discuss how to find inspiration in even the worst situations. Example: how we can help climate change by planting trees instead of being fearful of civilization's future. Here's some helpful links to pursue that proactive way of finding goodness in untenable fear, with tree planting.

Carter interviews cohost teZa about her early history and mental "reset" when she was professionally involved with the studies and experimentation of plant medicines. At Harvard U. she drew plants and assisted botanists as they explored how indigenous people throughout the world have used psychotropic plants since time immemorial to facilitate touching "the Divine." Featured are recollections of Richard Evan Schultes, Timothy Plowman, Wade Davis, Tom E. Lockwood and how these pioneers in ethnobotany today are helping modern people understand about the benefits of a reverential use of sacred plants. Michael Pollan's book Change Your Mind introduced micro-dosing of psychedlics to aid mental health. Today, the US Federal Government has approved using mind-altering plants in a guided ritualized fashion to aid the military's huge problem of PTSD sufferers "reset their minds" to find comfort. This could be a solution for the increasing numbers of suicides in both post-military and youthful mental health sufferers. Visit tezalord.com and carterlord.com for more about the hosts.
