The Almighty Ohm

I discuss a couple recent interviews about identity, mythos, pride, psychology and philosophy.

Three mornings with Charles Taylor 's A Secular Life. ** I discuss the magnum opus of Charles Taylor. A secular life. And the famous, and oft misquoted, Carl Jung. All his patients in the later life (over 35 yrs) none of their malaise was left once they adopted a religious view of life. Not religion but to see meaning and value in all life, universe, existence...

The Ma-Deuce and philosophy. Neil postman meets a Celtic, poet warrior. What does mass errors in narrative and our source of knowledge mean for our understanding. We need to be more aware of bias and ignorance in history as much as news.

How archetypes are denatured by ignorance and cowardice. From March 2nd 2024.

So I asked myself a question that I asked about a fellow Buddhist practitioner who goes around, claims to be you know partially or fully enlightened. So I asked myself: am I holy or am I a heretic? I believe that all religions are true if they're practiced with devotion commitment and confidence but I also believe that no institutional religion in this day and age has the complete hegemony on a pa...

What holds us back from understanding? Wilful Ignorance? **Correction: West Asia?! Not sure where my dyslexic brain comes up with these things... East Asia*

I discuss the toolkit we use to not only rebuild after Tragedy but also grow from suffering... What is Faith, faith in what, in who, why? Resilience. Persistence. Trust.

Our path. Our belief. Our trust. What happens to hope and faith when we believe a lie? We can believe in a maybe, but a lie leaves us wanting? Everything worth believing seems to be these ideas that may not be true, but are not lies... Truth, beauty ... Good triumphs over evil, love lives forever... What you believe is the tool kit that helps you rebuild after a tragedy. Without a source in tradit...

I discuss a recent podcast here on Spotify the Nietzsche podcast and talk about Carl Jung's perspective on Frederick Nietzsche's zarathustra: meaning in life. I try to clarify Jung's quote which so many people seem to get wrong. Jung said he found his patients in later life solve their malaise(sadness/ennui) by having a religious view in life not by finding religion but finding meaning and value i...

What do these have in common well simply the path to healing the path to understanding the path to being is all through storytelling telling your story not living someone else's so I share how a book on habit resonates with the civil Rights movement with philosophy theology theosophy religion philology language meaning matter being self-identity individuation. *Correction: For Karl Jaspers, the te...

Will you dance again? The dance of individuation. I discuss healing trauma, PTSD, and the interview with Jordan Peterson and Shawn Ryan... What is identity: it is the story you did not write, but guides your journey. We need to craft our own myth from our experience and our uniqueness to find our own authentic path through.... Nietzsche, Virgil, and Jung would be proud.

I share a few philosophy ideas and psychology ideas theology ideas theosophy ideas I just point out how we have a perennial truth within so many of our systems.. our memes...

Are we simply living in a simulation because we are not authentic beings? Without honest interactions with ourselves and others... Are we even human?

I share a single quote from Jung that began a decade long contemplation of our situation, our potential, our healing.... "I have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life - that is to say, over 35 - there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life. It is safe to say that every one of them fell ill because he...

Title says it all. What is it, how can it help those searching for meaning and Trust in their path? A belief structured and rooted in value and benefit not dogma and adherence.

Are you literate, but not fluent, fluent but not literate? Learning is our way out/thru. Thinking, being, an agent. Not an automaton.

Simply we fail to understand how much we are losing, of ourselves... We must learn, challenge, read, and mythologize...

I talk about new insights, a great book and man, flawed: surely aren't we all, and saving worms... ...

Simply the imagination is the activity of the unconscious in the interplay of the conscious and unconscious self. *Interplay between themselves and their worlds*

Hesed, Metta, Maitri, Loving kindness... Words we use as place holders for concepts, for feelings. In this case: an idea of a feeling that is beyond our limited conception...

** Strong language. Curse word.** What are we missing, is it a meaning that matters? Worse enemy to truth, than lies, are convictions. That tells us that convictions are placeholders for truth in the pursuit. Meaning, truth, is a ceaseless path.

I discuss a recent statement from the Vatican. I am unsure if the document shares what they believe it should?

I discuss why we need myth, narrative, and story telling... We build ourselves and our society through these practices. We are born of the soil, nurtured by nature and nurturing the soil and the plants in synergy... We are an Us.

What do we need to do to tradition? Faith is an evolving truth based in trust, to fight uncertainty.

A balanced approach to all things. I manage to get a reference to nearly every tradition... To illustrate a simple point that we must work towards a goal, work together.
