The Almighty Ohm

Simply the idea that mythos is at the heart of who we are. I used movies to narrate my story, as a dyslexic, my friend used song..... Have we lost our stories in our race to evolve and integrate with technology? **Songs and stories and so much more... At the polkadot door... Let's see through the polkadot door...

Book review or indictment of modern post secondary education?

I share thoughts about a Ben Shapiro and Dr Phil show: how ignorant even professionals can be. The Dun/Krug effect. Newbies think they know everything, but experts should remember what Bruce Lee said; from the IChing 'always remember that another may be your better'. That truism pushes us to be better than our previous self. The only honorable endeavor...

How three minutes of mediation can change your life. I share my favorite insight from a recent book that teaches three minutes a day of meditation for two weeks can change you... I share how short calmness mediation can bring peace to our daily lives. Life long mediator, once a teacher of meditation, Buddhism, philosophy and history in a Temple/Museum. Healing trauma and serious illness with mind...

I discuss a Q&A with Jordan Peterson about "what Jung got wrong"... In this we see how wrong JBP was(as many are), how AI can bring us forward and how technology has shown that self directed learning is infinitely better than spoon fed knowledge.

I discuss "I am that". Tat tvam asi. Power phrases, the name of God. Panentheism? Everything is suffused with the divine, providence?

Gott ist Tot? Socrates is dead? Do we believe in our values, our meaning, our being? We only cease to be when we cease to believe in our humanity entire.

Lessons in propaganda, in knowledge vs wisdom. Disinformation and misinformation. If everything is perspective, then nothing is true.

Mythos is the story you tell, formed from your complex of identities, personas, experience, genetics.... Gestalten.

I discuss reading and thinking. Without it we are lost, literally and figuratively.

I discuss a new discovery that may change our history entirely. Stoicism, epicureans, Pyrrhonism. All influences from Alexander's campaign into India? Egypt? Swat Valley, Ghandara, Barikot.

I discuss the real issue of false faith, exposed by people and their true works, most often self serving and closer to theatre than charity.

I discuss how to read, with example, passages in our great books like the Gita, or the Bible, the IChing, the Dhammapada... Comparing Luke ch23 verses 28-31. The aridity of the soul: St John of the Cross *dark night of the soul/Accent of Mount Carmel. How we must have hope, trust that we can surmount any challenge, *that which does not kill us serves to make us stronger. Trauma dries out our will,...

I discuss why smart people believe stupid things. Stupid can be traced to the Latin for ignorance. Omnis cum in tenebris praesertim vita laboret. We understand these 'things' not when sought, but when practiced and found. So many scholars without experience. Nietzsche again. It is acceptance of uncertainty that is our way through, amor fati. He chose Latin, a little language, to share this intimat...

I discuss a well known philosopher, teaching logic with street epistemology, yet fails to understand basic allegory and prose?

I discuss the idea that evil is sourced in us, we are the majority cause of harms in our world, and that includes cancers and other suffering.

How do we move forward? Status quo to potential. Modern man. Healing the modern malaise.

I discuss what is "a higher consciousness" and what they both got wrong about Nietzsche, Jung, and morality and meaning....

I discuss amor fati: love your fate. How to navigate pain and suffering. How to embrace life, to live and be, rather than just do.

The way out is through, said Camus, and Nietzsche, and Jung... We find our path in the chaos of the potential. Our consciousness is our discernment to define the way through the void, as it were.

Value, meaning ... Vivekananda Nietzsche Jung Bible Vedanta Arendt... What is our purpose, who defines value? Hint: an educated, and compassionate we. **Re-upload with better audio.

I discuss Frye and the Bible, Nietzsche and Zarathustra. Meaning and purpose in suffering and chaos. Uncertainty is manageable with trust. Pistis. Sraddham.

What is "religion-less Christianity", how can this idea guide us all, as it was intended.

How do we differentiate between? Good and evil, certainty and uncertainty, harmful and beneficial... Hamavdil.

All the world is a scam, And we are the marks upon it, And The Lord wants his Vig... _ _ Al ohm, jan2024. A walk in the snow. With a mess below, as is above. A pivot, strained and flayed. A balance leaves the universe in flux...
