We rap about everything from the generation gap to pronouns to musical taste. Fun for the whole family

Originally streamed live on YouTube, in this Q+A we dive into: "Wherever you go, there you are" and what that really means What is "ananda" or bliss in relation to reality? Is there even a Now moment? How realization isn't the slightest bit "spiritual" How can we navigate social media without succumbing to mind traps? Reactivity and how to recognize and uproot it Is Doc Vader spiritual? The nature of desire Why do we hurt those we love MOST?

Joined by Dr. Angelo DiLullo, your favorite ‘pair-o-docs’ dive into the paradox of self-emptying, where the journey to feeling truly recognized sparks a liberation beyond the boundaries of the ego. Plus a whole lotta taint talk

Waking up to your true nature is all about realizing there’s no separate “you” suffering. And knowing just that transforms how you show up in the world. Spoiler alert: Compassion just flows. Video originally streamed LIVE to YouTube, watch here. Side note: This episode contains intentional stretches of silence, so when things get quiet, rest assured it's not a problem with your podcast app

There's an intricate relationship between past trauma, our bodies, and the spiritual journey of awakening. Realizing the non-dual nature of existence and the illusion of self doesn't allow us to simply bypass the echoes of past trauma that can linger in the body like energetic knots, often manifesting as chronic pain, disability, mental illness, and emotional distress. Our guest, Simon Brown, shares his remarkable journey navigating the challenging terrain of complex childhood trauma. Through the convergence of therapy, somatic practice, and the profound insights gleaned from years of Buddhist practice, Simon shares invaluable insights on integrating trauma while opening our hearts to true vulnerability, authenticity, and joy. Find Simon on YouTube here and on Instagram (where you can DM him!) Here are some of the resources Simon mentioned in our conversation: Tara Brach's video on healing trauma Irene Lyon's YouTube channel Peter Levine and somatic healing practices The Body Keeps The Score Video show

Oh good (dark) lord, he's gone live again

From a recent Facebook live episode. I discuss the arising of strong emotions during the realization "journey" and the deep knowing that the Universe, (or God, or whatever descriptor we use to point to the ineffable) perfectly holds us as this process unfolds. And the beautiful synchronicity that all traditions seemingly point at the perennial wisdom: that we are NOT who or what we think we are

Dr. Monica Gandhi is BACK to unpack lessons learned from the COVID pandemic. From prolonged lockdowns, to the widening gap between the haves and have-nots, to finding genuine compassion in a time of so much division, this post-pandemic deep dive might give us a playbook for a happier, wiser path forward. #RIPFrodo

Zen teaches us that faith isn't blind; it's the knowing of our innate nature. Doubt isn't negative; it's the engine of inquiry that propels us toward understanding. Determination isn't force; it's the steady resolve to persist, harmonizing these traits for profound self-realization. WARNING: Pretty direct pointing here, so be prepared
