E52 Please! Stop With The Unconditional Love Already! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are many people who search for unconditional love. I wanted to devote an episode to explaining this idea: finding unconditional love is as impossible as counting to infinity. The world we live in is a world of forms, a world of conditions. You cannot have forms without conditions. Where does the world of forms “come from?” Well, we can call it the “formless” or the “unconditional,” and that’s hopefully on the right track. But “The Unconditional” isn’t a “thing” that can “give” anything to
E51 Integrating Good And Evil (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s easy to learn a phrase like, “Everything is One.” But what does this mean for someone who experiences life as a “separated” being? How did I get to be separated? How does a separate “I” become “one with" everything? Most people find it much easier to identify with what they consider the "good” aspects of reality. It is much harder to identify with what is considered "evil." But evil is as much a part of “the one” as good is. How can we recognize we are "one with" all that is evil and wrong
E50 Hey! Universe! (opens the original)

If you count in base-eight, this is episode 62 of 144. In base-twelve: episode 42 of 84. Does this mean 50 is a big deal?

E49 Which Cults Are You In? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many people act as if there are actually such things as “cults” and that cults are dangerous. Many think they are not “in a cult.” Me? I see cults everywhere I look. To me, a cult is simply a group of people who believe in such-and-such and not in something else. Examples of cults? Groups anywhere on the political spectrum (left or right), groups practicing a religion, atheists, flat-earth societies, corporations requiring you dress in some particular way, football fans, stamp collectors, groups
E48 The Religion That Does Not Exist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Re-ligare” is the Latin root word of “religion.” It means “to bind together again.” I find these questions a good way to begin assessing a religion: How will this religion help me and everyone and the world "bind together again?" Do the people who follow this religion become more generous? More loving? How does this religion handle human desires to build up wealth and power at the expense of others? What practices are there to help me to see beyond my personal likes and dislikes? Visit the podc
