Dylan' With Life

Quantum Physics and, specifically String Theory suggests that there are at least 10 dimensions . After discussing some stories of sightings or UFOs/UAP, sasquatch, and ghosts I think about the possibly that these things all do exist, just in a higher dimension than the one we exist in. I also wonder aloud abotu what that could mean for consciousness.   Starting with the 3 UAPs shot down over North...

Having downtime recently has allowed me to explore some hobbies. I talk about that journey, learning and working on not being afraid to try new things, to stop doing new things, and to put things on the back burner for later. Do hobbies have to be productive? Can they be passive? I look up the definition and explore the use of the word over the years.   I discuss my activity challenge during the s...

Life in your thirties is vastly different for many people - are those people in different stages of life able to be friends or are they bound to drift apart as they collect friends in more similar situations to their own?   Life is generally on a consistent upward trajectory at this point in life, let me tell you why that's bad.   My thoughts on pickles, minimalism, going over seas and an ode to S...

I have moved - first episode from the new "studio"   In the midst of a self-induced period of no work I discuss my "wall of time" theory, how it grows and how hard it can be to get over, leading to a fear of change. How unrelaxing not working actually is, the responsibility I feel not just for myself but for others and how living with someone for the first time in my life is quite the adjustment....

"Change is inevitable, growth is optional."   Essentially a live therapy session, as a lot of these episodes tend to be, I share recent loss that I've gone through and mull over I have what it takes to love properly. My fears of loss in life and how my childhood probably moulded me that way.    Love is fear for me.   Take care of yourself.   The Song of Now  is Tropic Morning News - The National  ...

I have tested positive for Covid-19. Not much else to do except record a podcast. Having had to spend days cooped up, my thoughts have wandered on feelings of being trapped, being fearful, not feeling free and wondering if these are new feelings, or just feelings that I'm recognizing during this time   I discuss my relationship with "prayer" and how it is, at its simplest, a practice in manifestat...

After a long hiatus we are back! And we're talking about expectations - expectations in all aspects of life, mostly for the self, but also of everyone and everything else. Do expectations help push to be better, or is it ultimately setting you up for let-down?   "It's the chip on my shoulder that drives me. And its the lack of fulfillment that grows the chip. If I find the fulfillment, I lose the...

Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. - Terry Pratchett. This quote has been providing me much needed solace from the idea that falling into a rut again means that I've made no progress.   A little high and with a case of the giggles I go on an adventure of my thoughts, a true Dylan With Life experience. I propose a way to get rid of nicotine and cigarettes from our so...

The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would basically be a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitudes.  - Aldous Huxley   The episode starts off with my thoughts on the American election and the country'...

How long do I think I could go without conversing with another human? What is the longest I've gone at this point in my life. Would that lead to a mental break and if it did, how aware of a mental break or  schizophrenic-type mental illness would I be?    We gotta talk about these youtube ads man. What's next?   At this stage of life I'm growing more and more worried that I won't find a happy path...

Quitting things cold turkey is more effective instead of easing as it doesn't allow for you to continue your bad habits.   Everyone should be rocking invisible socks.   There's a snatcher out there #TeamF*ckSnatchers Smile.   Things I don't know: What months have how many days,,,   This Episodes recommendation is David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet.   Intro and Outro music: "Focus on Love" by...

I talk about whether or not I believe the protests should be happening. What they mean, what should come of them, and what that may mean for the rest of the world. No intro music, no outro music, no recommendation, no gimmicks.   Twitter: @Dylanwithlifepc    Instagram: DylanWithLifePod    Email: DylanWithLifePod@gmail.com

Goodnight Moon is a terrifying book. When are our phones no longer phones?   Australian wildfires - WW3 - Kobe - Covid-19 ----- aliens and resurrection?    I propose a new sport league where teams compete in multiple sports instead of just one.   If something has got you frustrated or upset, think about whether it is still going to make you feel that way in 7 days. If you will be over it and it wo...

The opening was some excerpts from  Sam Harris' "Death and the Present Moment" speech which can be found on Youtube.   Reflect on the past but don't stay long.   This time at home has led me to become a crazy plant and crazy water fountain person, and i ain't mad about it. I've made my house a home.   Perspective. Left vs Right, neither are wrong, neither are correct. What needs to be sought is un...

The Egg by Andy Weir - http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html   Yoga has been a relaxing and fulfilling activity during quarantine, and I think it should integrated in our lives more, specifically in schools. Another thing to do during this time is to switch some music with a friend, get them to recommend you an album and vice versa. i talk about the movie Platform, and my thoughts on it...

As the beers go down, so does the quality? Or does the quality get better? You decide. I hope you get some comedic relief out of this in these strange, trying times.   I touch on using alcohol and drugs as ways to cope with life and situations and if there is a problem in altering your reality to deal with things. There is no one reality, everyones is different so how can there be a right one to l...

After a few days of quarantine things are starting to be put into perspective. What maters, what doesn't? The playing field is currently leveled, what kind of changes will that lead to as we come out of this trying time?   I am a slow laptop person, are you?   I drink beer, talk about mushrooms, both the normal and magical kind, Belle says "hi", Big toilet paper is winning, and I tell you about my...

The episode starts with a reading of part of Alan Watts' " The Dream of Life". Socks before pants. I tell you why February rent and bills should be cheaper.  Air out my thoughts on vulnerability and its importance in a relationship as well as judgement and criticism. "If the shoe fits, wear it."   This Episodes recommendation is a lot of different things, and none of them get the formal recommenda...

Welcome in.. to my head.   I open up and tell a sad story about a neighbour, something that happened in Dec 2012, and the grief/guilt that I guess i carry forward. Give a PSA, compare leg cramps to pregnancy, and engage my new google home mini.  "You don't have the obligation to make anyones life better, but you sure as hell shouldn't be making anyones life worse".  Towards the end I let you in on...

Bread and toast, death and immortality, feeling and thinking, nothing and something, its all about balance. Belle the cat makes an appearance on  the podcast, I guess she counts as the first guest. If you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do with your remaining time? How about a week from now? a month? a year? Live with a little mroe purpose. This episode was recorded on Dec 11, 2 weeks a...

Like it or not, you're not in control. You can have your day, week, month, year or life planned out a certain way but things will happen that you could have never expected, and at that point you're going to have to figure out how to move forward with a new plan. And as scary as that can be, it should be a fun thought, cause that unpredictability is what makes our lives what they are. Riddle: You'r...

Should you be allowed to have wrong or bad beliefs? At what point do we have to respect that we are all just trying to live our lives the only way we know how. Is it mentally healthier to be insignificant or important?   Riddle: As a stone inside a tree, I'll help your words outlive thee. But if you push me as I stand, the more I move the less I am. This Episodes recommendation is a movie   Intro...

Don't trust anyone who doesn't like or listen to music, there is no way that they are sane people. Which iteration of life do you think you're in? I'm definitely not in my first few. also discussed on this episode is wanting to see a ghost, and the fact that one day you could just wake up in a different life. Spencer came up for the idea of Maple Water and gets no credit for it. Riddle: I have cit...

Episode 5 takes on the theme of "God". Does God exist, and does it matter either way? Is this life more or less significant based on that answer? Why do so many professional athletes credit God with their successes. Is this life even real? Riddle: You’re standing there, and there are 2 doors in front of you. One goes to heaven, one goes to hell. Each door has a guard in front of it. One guard alwa...
