The Eben Flow

Socrates said: “There is no evil but ignorance.” But, how do we reconcile this in a world so wrought with polarity? Is it possible that everyone is doing the best they can with what they have ? What did Jesus mean when he said: “Forgive them, for they know not what they do,” as he was being nailed to the cross? What is Evil , if nothing more than the flip side of the Good coin? I work my way throu...

From going to space to creating space. Wherever you go there you are. Open dialogue. The Yoga Teachings of Vivekananda. What does any of it have to do with the human being’s god given birthright of freedom? As always, we make our way through the cultural swamp on the journey to solution oriented thinking. Open your heart, open your mind, take a deep breath in the nose and let it all go. This is th...

There are many paths to the top of the mountain. Is the craving for the croissant, the margarita, the orgasm not simply an unquenched thirst for a deeper experience? With everything we do, are we not trying desperately to get closer to God? To get “high”? In this episode, Gus and I work our way through the various mechanisms by which we make our way to the highest self. Enjoy! Are you stressed? Ha...

Weird things start to happen the deeper we descend into the self. It can be blissful, and also terrifying. In this episode I discuss how to navigate the process of shedding old behaviors, patterns, identities, and ideas. What it feels like to experience an Ego Death and the tools by which we bring ourselves back to center. Inspired by a conversation with my Power Tribe brother, Kyle, from Patreon,...

We live in a “Yes” Universe. What does that mean? Whatever it is we put out into it we get returned to us. Of course, as sovereign beings we are always afforded the option to say “no”. However, even in saying “no” to something we are saying “yes” to something else. The Universe loves us so deeply that it will bring forth into our lives whatever it is our emotional body is calling out for. If we wa...

Ascended Masters, Esoteric Knowledge, and Cultural Musings are all part of the conversation as my brother, Gus, and I work our way towards some solutions!  “If it’s hysterical, it’s historical!” - Unknown Wise Person Coming to terms with the being that is YOU. What a journey that is.  To revel is to to take great pleasure or delight (usually followed by in ): to revel in luxury. I would...

The human body is the most intelligent physical manifestation of the universe. Read that again. I did not say the human mind. The human body speaks a language the mind cannot possibly comprehend. There is not an ailment or dis-ease it cannot remedy. We have, simultaneously, not been educated on how to care for it and been conditioned to believe it is inherently flawed. This is fundamentally incorr...

Tapping into the source. At the end of the day it all comes down to being free. What does that mean? For millenia, humans have battled (literally and figuratively) the demons of culture. Culture: a collectively manufactured entity, that lives (omnipresent) over the individuals of any given space and time. For better or worse, this entity becomes the thing by which we, the people, move amongst as w...

Social Media Trolls, who (or what) are they? Hitting rock-bottom or “the wall”? When the karmic weight gets too heavy we are forced to acknowledge it. What feels good? Do that!

What is the result of watching your mind? Magic. Through meditation and the action of engaging the awareness moment by moment the truest, deepest nature of the self is revealed. Does evil exist?

The mad scientist of fitness, Dr. John Jaquish, drops into the flow for an epic unravelling of cultural conditioning. His new book Weight Lifting Is a Waste of Time breaks down the scientific evidence supporting this revolutionary idea, challenging decades of preconceived notions that there is no way to build muscle and strength without the use of heavy weights. I am a big believer in his product...

My brother Gus and I dive deep on the act of creation. The process of manifesting thought forms into tangible entities on the physical plane. As an artist, always working to stay out of the results of the work. Work for the work’s sake. As Krishna told Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita: We have a right to our labor, but we have no right to the fruits of our labor (positive or negative). The thing that i...

When I was about 8 or 9 years old my Dad took me to see the Blue Angels at Coney Island. In a moment I was completely awestruck. Watching those F18 fighter jets perform death-defying stunts at breakneck speeds, just inches apart, filled me with the understanding that nothing is impossible. John “Gucci” Foley was lead solo pilot of the Blue Angels’ squadron for three years. His experiences as an el...

It feels as though humanity is strapped to the front of a runaway freight train heading straight for the edge of a cliff. The brightside? We have the power to slow it down and change course at any moment. As long as we acknowledge our situation and make the conscious choice to improve our situation. How do we do that? Meditation is the key and Mindfulness is the way. In his new mind-blowing experi...

How is it that, here in the western world (specifically America), we are confronted by this perpetual state of discontent? We find ourselves in the literal external manifestation of heaven, with all the conceivable comforts, pleasures, riches, material wants, needs, and desires accessible by the tips of our fingers and yet we are still looking for something more? "The grass is always greener" is w...

Right Use of Will: Healing & Evolving the Emotional Body (received) by Ceanne DeRohan is the topic of today's episode. This is a profound text initially brought forth from the ether in the year 1984. I read this book earlier this year and was struck by the deep intuitive, heartfelt truths throughout. Two key elements of human suffering are brought into clarity: Judgment and Denial. It is discu...

What does it mean to "wake up"? I am highly skeptical of the term "woke". I'm not really sure what this term is referring to when it is used. It seems to be in reference to some political, cultural, dietary, etc. realization. The process of "waking up" has much more to do with coming into the reality of the self. There are a million paths to the top of the mountain. There is no "right" way to go a...

This is an epic conversation I had with my brother Justin Jones, host of The Curious Jones podcast.

Symptoms of unconscious living and the very quantum impact of positive actions. Enjoy! Check out Justin's show: https://curiousjones.podbe...

In this episode we dive deep into a book that made a major impact on my perspective of the world, Empire of The Summer Moon : Quanah Parker and The Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History by S.C. Gwynne. Brutally violent, devastatingly tragic, magically beautiful and unexpected. This story unfolds over the course of the late 1700's into the early 1900's a...
