The Almighty Ohm

What lessons are found in the sixth sermon to the dead in Carl Jung's 'Liber Novus' the Red Book. The connections to Nietzsche's philosophy, and my own.

I share how the I Ching was used, for years, by Carl Jung to investigate the mystery of the absurd. The duality of non-duality. The phenomenology of the I, the self, and the other.

I discuss Carl Jung and Nietzsche's philosophy. The I Ching. Valuation and meaning in self actualization and therapeutic protocol.

I share my notes and thoughts in the interview between these two men. Trauma and meaning and the modern malaise.

I share some lessons from the Chinese book of change and from the city state of Athens and how they conducted themselves in politics, both.

Will to power. Know thyself. What do so few understand about one of the greatest minds in history. Nothing and no one is perfect, but some truths are painful to even hear. We are our own keeper, will to power or will to be pushed?

I share insights into a cat box, Psychology, and doubt. A super position. Maybe so, we will see. Or we may not see?

** recording audio is bad! I keep this up for the transcription. I am sorry. ** I share some insights from three sources. A you tube video by Jordan Peterson about autism. Showing where his philosophy and ideas are sourced. The writings of Orwell, especially those outside the novels. And finally the autistic mind of Temple Grandin. I share that we are all neuro Atypical. There is one correct way t...

I discuss some ideas about neuroscience and how long it takes for new ideas to trickle down to society at large, and worse today it can take as long for science to listen to science. In three parts. First part is about me and an introduction. Second is the intended discussion. Third is further rambling about the same. Get into it like a warm bath, McLuhan. Imagine, I scripted this one(bullet point...

I share where I am at with the treatment and healing of the modern malaise. What is our suffering, and how do we embrace our lot? 

I discuss some insights about learning disabilities, trauma, and divergent cognition. How it might not be a barrier, but a path to a better future for everyone.

In this episode on one of my walks I share why I find the title of my book so important the message it's meant to convey and I come up with a subtitle that attempts to deepen this lesson, this insight, rather than obfuscate truth with fancy words, long paragraphs, aphorisms. Rather go the way of Hemingway and leave only on the page what is absolutely necessary

*warning very loud. Turn down before listening. Movie recommendation 'The Accountant'. I was hesitant to share this as it is so personal and sensitive. Learning this morning that Philip k Dick was also a neural divergent personality, his troubles and more so that his impact was long after his experiences. May our stories be a survival guide to future generations.

*strong language. I discuss a theory of growth I called the Goggins effect. I would like to update it to say the effect should lead to the affect. The Goggins affect would be change that surprises and sustains. Growth or atrophy are our two choices. Maybe with three we would be, but it ain't so. Adapt and overcome is the eternal return, the flow, the zone, the modern man standing at the precipice....

I share some insights from years of study and examination. What is the meaning to life, suffering, the absurdity of life...

I share the week that was.. Vesak, meditation, catuskoti, Dalai Lama, doubt, logic,and Yogacara. My dharma name 'O Xi'an'. Dharma Satvva is the practice. To be the best 'one' can be.

How doubt can affirm our belief and faith in everything we do. Everything we are. Trust leads to truth. Doubt to faith. Commitment to contentment. Cause and effect in action. Pratityasamudpada.

What is the best way to explain immune disease, trauma, free energy, mindfulness and meditation, as well as why it is so common yet so poorly understood... Right under our noses if you will...

What does Nietzsche, Hofstadter, and Yogacara say that can inform our "know thyself". A touch of Karl Friston for good measure. We are a strange loop alright.

I discuss the Lankavatara, Non-duality, self. cittamatra. Citta Vriti Nirodha. Amala and Alaya conciousness.  The real goal of meditation and enlightenment: it is not what you think...

I share insights into the modern meaning crisis, how we can heal it and move forward. 

I discuss growth and potential. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.

I share some insights. Personally earned and philosophically found. Anxiety is natural.

I discuss a Taoist parable. Vacillation, and the mastery of such, is the secret to existence.

What is the solution to our trouble? Can we find a universal truth to our experience? Trust. Embrace the experience, label free.
