What about those that live with the fear of not having enough? 

Do you ever get the feeling that there is this grand party that you weren't invited to? In fact almost every person that you have ever met wasn't able to gain access.

Innocence. What do you think of when thinking about innocence... Garden of Eden? Babies? How we feel 3.8 seconds after an orgasm? Okay, most likely not that last one! If we judge innocence, we are deciding right from wrong. On this episode Pheonix is my guest and we delve into random concepts surrounding right and wrong, including how the idea of just has changed the meaning of good and bad since...

On this episode of Truth to Power it is all about love. What love is could be as complicate as explaining God. It is personal and subjective. Often the people that share the idea don’t explain it in the same way, and possibly don’t express it the same either.

As you can see I didn't include a catchy title. In fact we usually attempt to mix in humor, this is something we had to eventually face on this show.

Are we getting out of Touch from reality? There are as many worlds as there are minds... or so says Buddhism. Now add in 5 or 6 billion cellphones, fake news and personal agenda. As we are seemingly in the process of being detached how can we connect with a realistic view of the reality? Perhaps the news...

Touch impacts many areas of our lives. The way in which we connect to the world around us as well as how we develop. Touch can bring pleasure or pain.

What is real? What a great question. Are we in the Matrix? Would you want to know? Would you want to remain asleep to the great reality?

Are we volunteers or victims when it comes to surrendering freedom?

In this episode Ace and I question the nature of reality. Okay. But not so deep. A light look at perception and the reality in which we live. We ask what is real? What was skeptic philosophy?

Through the devaluation of art are we suffering spiritually as a society?
