Finding Meaning

We human beings, confuse, comfort, and complacency! Comfort is actually a gift of the spiritual life. To be comfortable in one’s own skin to be comfortable, communicating to be comfortable in life. Complacency is the opposite. It is to accept what it is and believe that to be all that is, and that is not true. Take a listen thanks!

In the spiritual journey, we must be honest about the baggage. We need to get rid of. Things from the ego things from our past that hold us back. Take a lesson thanks

Another way to look at the spiritual life is through the eyes of technology. That is to say, you and I are programmers of our own video game. Not unlike some video games where you construct a reality, life is very much the same way. The question is, how are you programming your life? What kind of programmer are you?

When we practice being our authentic self, when we live out of our authentic self. We then produce a more authentic loving reality. You will see a difference in your life if you change the way in which you see life.

Two things are happening simultaneously in our spiritual journey. As we do the work of kindness, spiritual discipline, compassion, empathy it cultivate the ground for experience. The experience of who we truly are. So we are doing two things at once. We are having experiences of who we truly are and we are working on who we truly are at the same time.

In this episode, we look at the necessity of relationships for spiritual growth. Many times in religions we are taught that we must divest ourselves of relationships. When in actuality, we must engage in a relationship relationships for real spiritual growth.

What are the basic understandings of finding meaning? What am I talking about?

In this episode, we look at the fact that regardless of how noble or good something is in our world, it will always have within it, the false reality that it was born of. We are looking for a new way of being human in that way is found within us.

Love

The spiritual life takes perseverance. It is not an easy path. It is not something that is taken lately. If we persevere with the intent of love, we will succeed. If we persevere with the intent of living out of ego, we will fail.

This it is May 9, 2025 and yesterday a new pope was elected. So I thought I would take the opportunity of that to talk about where religion could fit and how it can’t fit on our journey.

In this episode, we look at the necessity to shed our past. To let go of the weight of mistakes of our past and move into a new self.

The spiritual journey is about awakening to one’s self, ones authentic self. In order to do that we must admit we don’t know what we don’t know.

How do we know we’re on the right path? How do we know this in our journey that healthy spirituality talks about Is real? Well, the proof that you’re on the right path is the fact that there is proof you are on the right path. Miracles happen you and others are transformed love is shared. That’s how we know.

On the spiritual journey, there are moments of clarity. There are moments of epiphany. There are moments of self realization that are indeed the reason we keep going on this spiritual journey.

We humans automatically keep things complicated. We want things complicated so that we can find our own special way of thinking or believing. When really spirituality is a very simple concept that we have overcomplicated.

What does it mean to be called to something? We use the language of calling all the time in the human endeavor. But what are we really called to?

In this episode, we explore why people function out of things like jealousy and envy. Why people function out of a sense of low self-worth and why we demonize others.

Quite often we find ourselves living out of a sense of disappointment and a sense of victimhood. Because we have attached ourselves to the expectation that someone is going to behave a certain way, or a certain circumstance will turn out a certain way. Expectations are attachments, attachments create disappointments, disappointments become our reality.

When we judge other people what we are doing is trying to solidify a false notion of self by comparing ourselves to someone else. That’s why you hear the admonition in many religions to not judge.
