The Drama of It All Podcast

I’m starting to read a book proposing that the Book of Acts was written primarily to defend Paul for his forthcoming trial in Rome. Acts was supposedly a legal brief, and thus, it’s not really meant for Christians to see as canon (unless you see it as a legal brief). So, in order to make his point, John Mauck starts writing about the Roman Empire and the emperors around the time that the Book of A...

Clearly, this article is for the US citizens reading my Substack. Please don’t vote in the US Election if you are not a US citizen. 😉 I voted for Trump in 2016 because he was up against Hillary. I already had a strong dislike for her, but just knowing that sexist women were voting for her only because she was a woman instead of her merits made me want to vote for Trump. In 2020, after seeing the...

I love the truth. I believe God is truth . I want the truth. I prayed to not be deceived, because the bible says even the elect could be. Not knowing the truth can harm you. I even wrote a poem about that. Truth is bold as a lion—steady and firm. Liars fear questions, get angry, and squirm. If someone you know is against all questioning, They may be a liar in fear of a reckoning. It's okay if they...

My Backstory & Introduction I have many thoughts on veganism and the Drama Triangle. If you’re already a subscriber to The Drama of It All, you know half of that. If you’re a subscriber to my “Christian” Substack , then you may know some of the other half. Please, consider reading the whole article to get the whole picture. I am not proselytizing. I am going to discuss the Drama Triangle. It just...

In recent news, a Democrat donor was arrested for threatening to kill 6 Supreme Court Justices and a survey was taken asking if America would be better off if Donald Trump died. “28% of Democrats answered yes to the question—that America would be better off—and 24% of Democrats said they were unsure” according to the Daily Signal . Many people think the country would be better off if certain indiv...

Democrats now claim it’s chicken on this grill and not a cat. Who in their right mind would videotape someone grilling chicken and claim it was a cat? People don’t consider normal behaviors like grilling chicken worth recording. People lose their minds when they have motivated reasoning to believe a certain way. Everyone who claimed Trump was crazy will simply double down because they don’t want t...

If you want something in your world to change and it hasn’t changed so far, then you will have to do something uncomfortable . Social Justice Warriors Desire Change Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) want things to change. They see a problem caused by a “persecutor” and they see “victims” everywhere. They like to play “Savior.” I’ve written about them plenty of times. So, what do they do? They attempt...

There is advice about cultivating a mindset out there that will make you feel extremely powerful in life, and many people will advise you against giving it. If you suggest that someone look for places in their life where they have control, even when they were not “at fault,” some will suggest you are “victim blaming.” If someone drugs/rufies a woman in order to rape her, we can say she’s a “victim...

I started watching this video on Tucker Carlson’s thoughts on Bitcoin. I studied cryptocurrency in 2015. I spent some time on the BitcoinTalk website studying it and I worked for some forms of crypto through that website. I enjoy the idea of being given cryptocurrency for my work . I do want us all to be able to move into a society where we are not dependent on fiat currency. I do hold cryptocurre...

I have mentioned the term “ miswanting ” before. I picked it up when I took the free online class from Yale on how to be happy called, “ The Science of Well-Being .” (I highly recommend it). In that class, the instructor referenced the paper “Miswanting: Some Problems in the Forecasting of Future Affective States” by Daniel T. Gilbert and Timothy D. Wilson. The link for the PDF was to Harvard’s we...

By now you are probably tired of all of the articles about whether or not the “Right” should get people fired and otherwise engage in “Cancel Culture” activities. I have been wanting to write this for days but due to my full-time job and how long it has taken to put together my thoughts, it’s coming out much later than I wanted. This won’t be an article attempting to get more views because a topic...

Intro: I started writing today about how regardless of my health issues this weekend, I still won’t play victim. I ended by discussing how people on the political right and left keep trying to make it seem like trauma is normal and not something to be healed. Independence Day Aftermath On July 5th I woke up with a sinus headache. I also have a sinus headache today. This sinus headache is really pu...

Isn’t it odd that we call it the “Fourth of July” more often than Independence Day? Let us remember our independence from some far-off country. Oh, we kind of have some of the exact same issues - now that we have the federal government ruling over people they know nothing about. I think we will need a revival of throwing off those shackles again. But how do you get that? With war? That’s the drama...

I was driving to work yesterday and I saw a bird in the road. I knew it could fly away and I kept going forward. I felt anxious as I got closer and he still hadn’t moved out of the way, but I kept going forward. I didn’t hit the bird. It flew away so fast I didn’t see it. I kept going forward. About a minute later I saw an older man walking on my side of the road. Normally I would move into the le...

Last week the Victorian Government (Australia) posted a video on YouTube. The new campaign is called “ The Unsaid Says a Lot. ” There are two versions of the elevator ad. But the video about a woman walking out of an elevator is the one I want to focus on. The first ad version starts off by saying, “3 in 4 trans and gender diverse people have been treated unfairly because of their gender identity....

This post was written on June 4, 2021 on my law of attraction life coaching blog . I reposted it on my Law of Attraction Substack: As Above Below LOA . But I wanted to add audio and post this on The Drama of It All because this is a major form of responsibility shifting. The Drama Triangle only works when you responsibility shift. If you take personal responsibility for your thoughts and emotions,...

I got a chance to speak with Joshua Slocum of the Disaffected Podcast . You can read his substack here: Disaffected Newsletter . In this article, I wanted to give links for people to personally research more about the things I discussed with him. If you found the discussion interesting and want to learn more, please read on. The following video is the full podcast episode. The Drama Triangle I sta...

I decided to download Tucker Carlson’s interview with Matt Taibbi and listen to it as I exercised at the gym. It’s a great discussion. There’s a quote towards the end of their talk that I wanted to discuss. I think that Matt hit on the answer to his own question, in a sense, earlier in the discussion. I also think that it relates to the Drama Triangle. At 1:59:20 Matt Taibbi asks, “What's the angl...

Whenever we are conversing with others we're coming from a standpoint of our inner child (C), adult self (A), or in a form of a parent (P). In a perfect world, we'd be interacting as “adult” with other “adults” or in a kindly parental way with children (or even someone who is feeling vulnerable like a child at the moment). It's also okay to have fun like a child with another adult (going dancing o...

Miswanting Marriage Many people feel like getting married would solve their loneliness problems. They may even think it will solve their financial situation. They feel as if they’re missing something . They predict that marriage will fill that hole inside of them. Wanting something is simply a prediction that you will feel better when you have it. The problem is that we are terrible predictors. Fu...

MAGA stands for Make America Great Again. Obviously, concerning the drama triangle, the left views Trump as a “persecutor.” Not surprisingly, people who don’t like Trump decided on the meaning of this slogan for him. We used to give people the benefit of the doubt or ask specifically, “What do you mean by that?” We used to care about finding out what other people meant. Now, people ascribe the wor...
