How do you get to the bottom of something that is bottomless? Listen in as we explore the cloud of description we seem to live in and how that cloud gets mistaken for reality…and the shapes of confusion that can signal a recognition of this phenomena.

Edited to include the right audio file! What is right in front of your nose? The Elusive Obvious looks at what is being sought for- beauty, fascination, specialness, joy and the really easy way to find it. As sentient creatures, we have the ability to imagine what does not exist, often at the expense of the mystery and magic of this here now.  Listen in as we explore the alchemy of the mundane int...

“Sneak up on yourself first thing in the morning before you realize it is you” Abraham Hicks Alex and Amanda explore the phenomena momentary lack of identity with the self.

Interested in becoming our Patreon? ⁠https://www.patreon.com/TheWonderLandPodcast⁠ Every good fairy tale has elements of struggle, strife, and fear. Listen in as we explore where our orientation to our tale is. Are you feeling stuck in a repeating cycle of struggle? Our tales are meant to unfold and there is a way to reorient ourselves to break out of misunderstanding  and old conditioning. Get in...

Alex and Amanda explore how very ancient what we call "our thoughts" are. The archetypal inheritance of mankind masquerading as our personal experience. Vast story arcs we cannot see in the midst but upon reflection are pointing to how humans have tried to make sense of the chaos of life for millenia. “The timeless empty streets of mind are flooded with ancient daydreams…” Nancy Nethercu...

There is a way in which, as we grow older and are conditioned through fear to hide, to act a certain way in which we believe is acceptable, and this tendency to hold back or temper our experience becomes very very painful and innocently misunderstood.    So we go off on the search for permission, for acceptance, yet nothing really works while we are acting from the mind’s learned premise that we a...

“The only way to handle danger is to face it. If you start getting frightened of it then you make it worse because you project onto it all kinds of bogies and threats which don’t exist in it at all. Whenever you meet a ghost, don’t run away. Because the ghost will capture the substance of your fear and materialise itself out of your own substance. It will kill you eventually because it will take o...

Amanda and Alex explore how some experiences in life can have a profound impact on how we see the world

Alex and Amanda explore the prominent, yet sometimes hidden (and very painful) story that we have been damaged by circumstances of our life and we must work to fix ourselves. “The secret is that you are already a completely whole, perfect person. You are not damaged goods, you are not incomplete, you are not flawed, you are not unfinished, you do not need remodeling, fixing, polishing or major reh...

Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheWonderLandPodcast In this episode, Alex and Amanda explore our relationship with certainty and how feeling secure in our knowledge can sometimes be painful. Certainty can exclude possibilities from arising. Can anything in life really be described as: fixed, settled, dependable, reliable, inevitable, detined, indisputable? “It's what we think we kno...

Listen in as we untangle the concepts of “Adulthood” and the strange assumptions and agreements that we live in. What if being a “responsible adult” is the same sense of make-believe we had as children? What is the deal with the concept of “work/life balance”? Join us in this par...

Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheWonderLandPodcast What is waiting? What is this sense of time standing still, on hold for a decision? Is there anything in nature that waits or rushes? Are conclusions and decisions necessary for the movement of life to occur? “If you are bewitched by the clock you will therefore have no present. “Now” will be no more than the geometrical point at which...

Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheWonderLandPodcast We explore the phenomena of feeling like our internal dialogue (manager) is making every decision yet when things don't go as planned or we do not follow through with the relentless orders the manager is nowhere to be found. Have you really stopped to look at who is this decision maker? The doer of things we attribute our very best...

Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheWonderLandPodcast How do we deal with worry, fear, anxiety?
