Mind Blind

There’s a tribe with no past. No future. No myths. No plans. And no depression. They laugh every day. They don’t ruminate. They’re not chasing anything. They don’t speak about what they haven’t seen. And they may be the happiest people alive. Mind Blind Episode 33: The Pirahã and the Grammar of Peace

The Brilliance That Brought Us to the Brink Our own brilliance built civilization—but it also built the dreaming and division that now threaten our very existence. In this episode, we uncover the invisible machinery behind it all: language itself. From tribes with no concept of time to how a single word can overwrite reality, we trace how language didn’t just describe the world—it quietly hijacked...

Confused, Frustrated — and Waking Up! What are all the stages of the spiritual path—and why does stage one feel so maddeningly hard, and maybe even like your failing, at first? In this episode, I reveal why your mind seems to get louder, how pain and frustration can actually be used to wake up, and the one shift you must make to move beyond the beginner stage. If you’ve ever felt trapped in your o...

Most people say they want awakening… but they don’t know what it costs. It’s not a better version of you. It's not more control. It’s not just more peace, more clarity. This isn’t self-improvement. This is ego extinction. If that scares you — good. If it calls you — even better. After this episode, join me live for something I haven’t done in over a year: It’s free. It’s public. It’s raw. And...

There’s a reason you keep spiraling. It’s not your trauma. It’s not your inner child. And no — it’s not your hip flexors holding unprocessed grief. You’re being sold a lie about emotions. This episode dismantles the feel-good fiction that’s keeping you stuck — and exposes what’s actually going on when you “lose it.” You think you’ve been bottling up emotions. You haven’t. What you’ve been doing is...

It’s a turning point...

Barbara had a whole story ready. One she believed. One she almost delivered. But something deeper in her was ready to stop — and that’s when everything changed. We've all done this. We suffer, and then we try to make sense of it with thoughts. We narrate. We explain. We defend. But all of that is still the dream. Conscious awakening doesn’t happen when we figure it out. It happens when we stop...

What if the thing hurting you… isn’t what you think? In this episode, we meet Rachel — a woman unraveling in a web of small, subtle betrayals. A dishwasher. A missing towel. A wrong kind of tea.
