POETRY IN EDEN with Felicia A. Iyamu

When you zoom out, you find the beginning and the end are the same. This episode is on quantum coherence and "The Donut Theory of Reality." I explore tangential concepts like Schrodinger's cat, quantum mechanics, and more! feliciaiyamu.substack.com www.feliciaiyamu.com

In life, each moment is a fresh chance to move forward. As long as we stay present, go with the flow, and don’t worry about “mistakes,” the moment is ours for the taking. Because, everything, in the end, is right on time! ⁠www.feliciaiyamu.com⁠ ⁠feliciaiyamu.substack.com

I’ve said it again and again. The source determines the strategy. Are you doing what you think you should do to prove something or are you genuinely creating the life of your dreams? Not, society’s dream. . .but your dream. Do you know the difference? In other words, the source determines the strategy asks if your validation comes from within. If not, you’re literally building your life like a hou...

Sometimes when it isn't getting better, YOU are because self-actualization is the result of NOT getting what you want. Absence creates an opportunity for application. The bridge from instruction to integration carries us over the river of doubt and confusion to the land of strength and wisdom.

What if I told you that time moves backwards? That the future we are striving for already lies in the past. That the past is more vast than the future, full of memories, while the future disappears immediately into the past and its vastness. This episode explores time and how varying cultures view and interact with it.

The Hakuna Matata Effect is what I call the cultural urge to live as if life is effortlessly beautiful, endlessly blissful, and always under control. It’s the illusion that ease is the norm and discomfort means you’re doing something wrong. That growth should look glamorous. That if your life isn’t a dream 24/7, you’re falling behind. In The Lion King , Hakuna Matata was a break, not the ending. S...

A topic I have been passionate about for years, this episode is a poetic thought-piece exploring one of the most pressing topics of our time. feliciaiyamu.substack.com for full text www.feliciaiyamu.com

Ho'oponopono is a process of taking responsibility for one's actions, seeking forgiveness, and restoring harmony, often through the repetition of the phrases: “I’m sorry. Please forgive me.

This episode explores the answer to your existential crisis. Right on time, really. . .we are, after all, living through deeply existential days. Shake your magic 8 ball as you ask it a question. Whisper it into the wind as you look within. It is time for some self reflection, and I promise it is worth it. feliciaiyamu.substack.com www.feliciaiyamu.com

This episode is on the numbness of victimhood vs. real accountability, the antidote, & being American from afar. I am almost a decade living outside the United States and the window I look through is increasingly alarming. feliciaiyamu.substack.com ⁠www.feliciaiyamu.com⁠

I don't remember you. Have we met before? In this episode, I dive into how authenticity and memory connect, and where we can go in a world of vanity, perfection, and pride.

Selective empathy is a moral challenge. Empathy, the capacity to feel and understand the emotions of others, is often heralded as the foundation of human morality. Yet, in practice, empathy is rarely distributed equally (and not everyone has it). This episode dives into moral apathy, selective empathy, and ways forward.

What happens when there's nothing left to prove? This episode is on the slow-release of performative perfectionism and how we can move through the world loving ourselves and others.

With a recent trip back home to the U.S.A, I was struck by America’s numbness. People live in their own silos, guarding what is theirs, clinging to what they love. Status and luxury have become obsessions, while inequity is ignored with practiced ease. The instinct to speak out is dulled, the drive to resist is extinguished. The silence sends chills down my spine. I hear it echoing in the margins,...

There are trends I have noticed in the past months from friends and family which appear to be symptoms of group think. In this episode, I begin to uncover what these repeated patterns could mean for the American future and the value implied by certain status symbols, all as an American living abroad
