Finding Meaning

This is the third question in our 10 part question series. Today I tackle the question of, what does it mean to be human?

This is question two of a 10 part series on questions that have been posed to me through the podcast. Today’s question is who or what is God? Take a listen thanks.

Today we start a 10 part series consisting of 10 different questions derived from people who I have spoken with about the podcast and from the podcast itself. The first question is; is there a God?

How do we decide what reality is? What have we been taught that things like beauty and morality really are? I tackle those issues in this podcast.

Practicing self-awareness includes you, me and all of us. The challenges we are all at different places.

When we decide who we are compared to someone else. Compared to their religion, politics, their beliefs we inevitably fall into dualism and what is called othering!

We spend a good deal of time trying to convince ourselves of our identity. We do that through what the world, and who the world tells us to be. When in fact, real identity comes from an inward journey.

When we become self-aware, we become aware of our own toxicity. When we become aware of our own toxicity, we become a aware of others. How do we deal with that?

Other people place a narrative on you. They do so in order to find their identity. Often, we place narratives on other people to find our identity.

We have based our realistic reality in the notion of hierarchy. What would it look like otherwise?

We are taught that life is a transaction. Good behavior for an easy life, that’s what we’re taught. We are shocked when we find out it doesn’t work that way. Take a listen thanks

What does it mean to really be successful as a human? We are told when we are a little, we can be anything we want. However, what we need to be told is, who we truly are. Which is love

There is a physical chemical aspect to spiritual growth. And although I am not a brain scientist, here is my take on what that means.

When we live out of our authentic, loving self, we produce a way of life that is in line with our purpose, and who we truly are. That creates a life that is less fearful, and less drama filled. This is not new news folks. It is the truth of who we truly are.

Can we engage in the institutions after we discover our own authenticity? I tackle that question in this episode

We are surrounded with clues, language, and indications that there’s a reality bigger than us. The language of reality is inspiration and metaphor. Take a listen thanks

Have you ever wondered why people will believe really extreme ideas? We will revisit PPP in this episode to get an understanding of how people can buy into extreme notions to find identity

As Jesus said, we need to be in the world, but not of it. We have to find a healthy separation from the world in order to help the world find itself.

The description is in the title, my friends. In order to find meaning we need to let go, forgive and not judge. Hard stuff!

You will hear and I hope you have always heard one theme in these podcasts. That is first we live in a false reality created of our own ignorance and secondly, the way out of that reality is love.

What is the purpose of life? What is the goal of life? What is the goal of this podcast? What is the goal of spirituality? Here is my answer. Thanks

We live in a reality that we have constructed made up of winners and losers. This idea is not in line with love and authenticity.

One of the pitfalls of spirituality is that we can become convinced that we know everything. We do not! There is a vast reality and a vast mystery to who we are, that we must plumb.

Have you ever wondered why you meet people who are super kind, super loving and then they go to a religious community or believe in a political thought that is opposite of love and kindness? Take a listen.

As we grow, spiritually, we develop things like the capacity to love, the capacity for empathy, the capacity for compassion, the capacity for generosity. Another aspect of what we developed is our deep intuition. Knowing that we know. Take a listen thanks
