What does ancient wisdom actually look like in everyday life? In this episode, we sit with Verse 15 of the Tao Te Ching to explore why the modern obsession with constant action and "mountain-top" achievements might be keeping us stuck. Through Lao Tzu’s imagery of crossing thin ice, becoming like a valley, and letting muddy water settle, we learn that sometimes the most powerful action we can take is to step back, put the glass down, and let clarity happen on its own.

Grab a warm drink, take a deep breath, and let’s slow down for a few minutes.

• **** Intro: The mistake of "stirring the pot" when we need answers.

• **** The Verse: A slow reading of Verse 15.

• **** The Ice: Why walking on thin ice demands an absolute honesty that can't be faked.

• **** The Valley: Shifting away from a culture that worships the mountain, and finding the quiet power of receptivity.

• **** Mud & Water: Why a glass of muddy water doesn't need to be fixed—it just needs to be set down.

• **** Releasing the Grip: Living in the present instead of waiting for life to "finally arrive."

The ancient Masters were profound and subtle.Their wisdom was unfathomable.There is no way to describe it; all we can describe is their appearance.

They were careful as someone crossing an iced-over stream.Alert as a warrior in enemy territory.Courteous as a guest.Fluid as melting ice.Shapable as a block of wood.Receptive as a valley.Clear as a glass of water.

Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear?Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?

The Master doesn’t seek fulfillment.Not seeking, not expecting, she is present, and can welcome all things.

Where in your life right now are you desperately stirring the water? What would happen if you just set the glass down and let gravity do its work?

In This Episode, We Discuss:The Verse: Verse Fifteen (The Ancient Masters)A Question to Carry With You This Week:

In this episode, we step away from the cultural demand for constant optimization and sit with Verse 14 of the Tao Te Ching (Stephen Mitchell translation). Lao Tzu takes us to the very edge of language, dismantling our reliance on seeing, hearing, and grasping to verify reality. We explore the concept of "negative space" in life, why you can’t think your way into the Tao, and what it truly means to be "at ease in your own life"—not by arriving somewhere new, but by remembering where you came from.

Look, and it can't be seen.

Listen, and it can't be heard.

Reach, and it can't be grasped.

Above, it isn't bright.

Below, it isn't dark.

Seamless, unnameable, it returns to the realm of nothing.

Form that includes all forms, image without an image, subtle, beyond all conception.

Approach it and there is no beginning; follow it and there is no end.

You can't know it, but you can be it, at ease in your own life.

Just realize where you come from: this is the essence of wisdom.

The Verse— Tao Te Ching, Verse 14 (Trans. Stephen Mitchell)

"The universe is impartial. The space inside you is infinite. The more you use it, the more it produces."

In this episode of The Coffee Buzz, we sit with Verse Five of the Tao Te Ching (Stephen Mitchell translation). We explore the unsettling but ultimately freeing image of the "straw dog"—a ritual object that is revered when needed and released when its purpose is served.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by the project of trying to "earn" the universe’s favor, or if you’ve felt trapped by a love that comes with too many conditions, this verse offers a different way forward.

• The Ritual of the Straw Dog: Why an impartial universe is actually a gift.

• Love Without a Cage: How the Master’s impartiality is the fullest expression of love.

• The Bellows: Learning to breathe out so that you can receive again.

• The Danger of Talking: Why the conversation is never the silence on the other side of it.

• Holding the Center: Finding the stillness inside the turning wheel.

"The space between heaven and earth is like a bellows. It is empty and yet infinitely capable. The more you use it, the more it produces; the more you talk of it, the less you understand. Hold on to the center."

Have you ever had a call from the universe to learn something new? To step out into the unknown and let go of preconceived ideas about your abilities? Over the last few months the universe has been screaming at me to take action and learn a new skill and I'm finally listening. It might have something to do with the book I'm reading by Rizwan Virk called Treasure Hunt. https://www.amazon.com/Treasure-Hunt-Follow-Inner-Success/dp/178678050X It's all about following the clues the universe gives us to find manifest our dream life. Part of what I'm coming to terms with is challenging my belief system about who I am and my abilities. Accomplishing this will require me to separate my belief system from my inner being. That is the infinite part of us that knows no limits and is beyond time and space. The belief systems we have are mental constructs that make up our reality and can be changed at will anytime we want.  If you would like to help The Coffee Buzz please tell a friend about us and as always thank you for listening!

In this quick episode I reveal one of my methods for staying in the now: moment to moment awareness. it's one of the simple ways to breaking free from the default mode network. What this means to me is being aware step by step, breath by breath, thought by thought, feeling by feeling, memory by memory, sensation by sensation, and so forth. In this way we can make everyday life into a meditation.  If you would like to help The Coffee Buzz please tell a friend about us and as always thank you for listening!

I finally get around to my review of the Disney Frozen movies. After seeing it about 100 times I finally get it and today I reveal the life lessons I've learned from Elsa, Olaf and the gang. I also discuss my latest meditation method. I start off with Wim Hof power breathing exercise and then go into my meditation. I like to do this before I drink coffee to keep myself in the theta brain state. The last time I did this I had a strange visual experience with a waterslide and somehow it led me to the power of letting my inner being take over for a while.  Coffee of the day is Peace Coffee: https://www.peacecoffee.com Water has memory! https://www.resonancescience.org/blog/Scientists-Show-That%20Water-Has-Memory If you would like to help The Coffee Buzz please tell a friend about us and as always thank you for listening!

Hunter S. Thompson has a quote that turned into a life's philosophy for me: "Paranoia is a higher state of consciousness" I thought there was a virtue in distrusting people and always looking for the next bad thing to happen. As it turns out Hunter S. Thompson is a brilliant writer, but maybe not the best life coach. I have a new word in my vocabulary: Pronia which is a belief that the universe is conspiring in your favor. This is another gateway into tapping into the law of attraction. It’s an easy to unlock obstacles. It’s the belief that no matter what happens things are always working out in our favor.

In this quick episode I talk about how I used the Law of Attraction to get some Houndstooth Coffee. It's all about random acts of kindness without the expectation of being praised or thanked for it. It’s what Marcus Aurelius has called “the third thing,” because you’re not content enough with the doing. “When you’ve done well and another has benefited by it,” he writes, “why like a fool do you look for a third thing on top—credit for the good deed or a favor in return?”  I think I fell into this trap because of my childhood. Most of us were raised and how our parents and their parents were raised. To look for that recognition the ‘good boy, good girl’ from those around us. Because that meant good standing in the tribe. I call it a trap because it puts our power outside of us. It’s like wearing your heart on your sleeve because if someone doesn’t provide me with that validation I’ll get very upset. Maybe even stop doing the right thing because it’s based on outcomes.

I've been experimenting with cold showers after getting into the Wim Hot rabbit hole. I don't want to oversell it, but there are some seriously incredible benefits to cold showers. Improved immune system, circulation, it reduces inflammation and some studies say it can help with depression. My favorite aspect of this is how it strengthens will power. By default I am a lazy person so I'm hoping by jumping into a cold shower everyday it will help me be more disciplined in other aspects of life.

Today I do my first poetry reading on the show. I also ponder the perils of space travel. One of my favorite bands The Flaming Lips have pleaded with Elon Musk to send them into space so they can be the first rock band to preform at the International Space Station. They are just crazy enough to go and he's just crazy enough to send them there. Maybe I just worried about The Lips, but after seeing "Stowaway" I don't think space travel is such a good idea for the human body. Especially when I consider my own body is a reflection of the universe itself. The more I get into meditation, breathing exercises and cold showers the more I come to understand a deeper connection with the universe without having to float in a tin can far above the world.  Sadhguru - Ode to Coffee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxhls4haDGc The Flaming Lips want to go to Space: https://www.loudersound.com/news/the-flaming-lips-want-elon-musk-to-make-them-the-first-band-to-play-in-spa If you would like to help The Coffee Buzz please tell a friend about us and as always thank you for listening!

We've all heard what you think about grows; today on the show I go into the science behind why that works. It's a cluster of neurons knows as the reticular activating system and it's the brain's filtering system. Sometimes when I talk about reprogramming the mind I know it might seem a bit esoteric, but this concept is a practical nuts and bolts method for getting what you want. This is what the whole law of attraction and the secret and all that stuff are based on. Because when we get serious on what it is we want and we set that intention in our RAS the brain starts to look for opportunities that we might have missed otherwise. It starts to look for momentum to build on, it looks for evidence that things are working out.

I take a deeper dive into Stocisim today. The more I learn about this philosophy the more I identity with it. One of the fathers of stoicism Seneca said learning to live with less will create space in your life for the things that truly matter to you. We must place our happiness on our intrinsic vale as humans and in nothing we have or can physically acquire. We must chose to do our best to keep a cool head regardless of what life throws at us. Because regardless of what it is we want at the end of the day we don’t have any control over the things that happen to us but we do have control over how we react to those things.

Over the last two months I’ve started a daily breathing exercise from Wim Hof. What started as a simple relaxation technique has evolved in a shift in consciousness. I’m starting to have out of body experiences and even visitations from my inner child. This is a mind blowing experience and I hope you can try one of the breathing exercises from Wim Hof below.

Shout out to Mr. G for making it through the entire Coffee Buzz catalog. He has listened to over 1,000 hours of me talking and he’s going up on the Coffee Buzz Power Listener Wall of Fame.

"Empty is not absence. Empty is capacity."

Welcome back to the porch. Today’s episode is a quiet one. I’ve been sitting with Verse 4 of the Tao Te Ching since before the sun came up, just watching the steam rise off my coffee and thinking about how much energy we spend trying to stay "full."

We’re a culture of filling—filling our calendars, our houses, and our heads with noise. But Lao Tzu suggests that the most useful part of a cup (or a life) is actually the space inside it.

In this episode, we’re untangling:

• The "40-Meeting Week" Trap: Why we treat silence like a problem to be solved instead of a room to breathe in.

• The Art of Blunting the Sharpness: Moving away from being "right" and toward being reachable.

• Working the Knots: Why yanking on your old resentments only makes them tighter, and how to ease them loose instead.

• Merging with the Dust: A reminder that we aren't standing above the world—we're made of the same stardust as the dirt under our feet.

If you’ve been feeling a little "sharp" lately, or if your internal glare is a bit too bright, I hope this gives you permission to just... let it be empty for a second.

Today’s Reflection:Where are you too full to receive anything new? What happens if you just sit in the "not-knowing" for the length of this episode?

Thanks for sharing a cup with me.

Brain implants...should we get them? On one hand they would allow us to communicate in an almost telepathic speed and transform daily life. It might be the one way to keep humans on par with A.I. especially when the point of singularity happens. Then again what if they could see all my thoughts not just the ones I want them to. What if they sold that information or they got hacked? Crazy times call for crazy questions and I'm here for you. Thanks for listening!

There are two fundamentals for me when it comes to the manifesting change in my life. Meditation and the imagination. Meditation is a way of deactivating the old reality of my mind's pattern, it makes room for the imagination to day dream about something new. We can change our reality like changing a radio station and imagination is the antenna.

I was wrong about Mi Mundo Coffee it's amazing...I talk all about it today. I also talk about how life is easy, but humans make it complicated. Very often the story about life being hard is programmed into us from our parents and other loved ones. They pass down belief systems, we form paradigms and subconsciously live out a life that reinforces that construct. Never knowing we've given up our free will to a program. The good news is we can take it back. Reinstall new operating systems like I can attract anything in to my life though the power of my imagination. As Bill Hicks said: "all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves"  Mi Mundo Coffee: https://www.mimundocoffee.com The Coffee Buzz https://www.thecoffeebuzzpodcast.com    Instagram @thecoffeebuzzpc      Twitter @thecoffeebuzzpc      Clubhouse @thecoffeebuzzpc   Facebook @thecoffeebuzzpodcast      thecoffeebuzzpodcast@gmail.com

My guest today, Dr. Carl S. Moore, has an excellent podcast called the Youniversal Luv Movement. It's one of those shows that keeps me aligned with my higher self. Dr. Carl and I have never met in person, but we became fast friends during this episode. He talks about how having agency over our emotions is a super power and how we can all have less 'buttons' that other people can push. We also discuss epigenetic, fasting and how the power our thoughts impacts over our lives. Thank you for listening and thank you to Dr. Carl for being my guest!

Daniel from the Infinite Calling is my guest today. He and I go back....like way back to almost 30 years ago! Beyond being a good friend he's an amazing musician and just released his 6th album of ambient guitar music, Meditations 2020.

In this episode, we sit with Verse Three from the Tao Te Ching and explore what happens when we overestimate greatness, overvalue possessions, and inherit desires that were never really ours.

This verse can sound harsh at first, emptying minds, weakening ambition, creating confusion. But beneath the surface, it points to something deeply practical:

How much of our striving comes from comparison?

How much of what we want has been shaped by what we see others wanting?

We reflect on:

• Why putting others on a pedestal can quietly make us feel smaller

• How social media and career comparison distort our sense of “enough”

• The difference between ego-driven ambition and steady inner resolve

• What it means to “empty the mind and fill the core”

• How confusion can sometimes be the beginning of real clarity

This conversation isn’t about rejecting success or suppressing desire. It’s about gently questioning where our desires came from and whether they still belong to us.

Verse Three invites us to step out of borrowed races and return to something steadier.

Not what impresses.
Not what competes.
Not what looks good from the outside.

But what feels true from the inside.

“You can have resolve without ambition.
You can be committed without being competitive.”

• Where in your life are you measuring yourself against someone else’s highlight reel?

• What desire might not actually be yours?

• What would “enough” feel like — not look like?

If this episode resonated with you, consider sitting with the verse for a few days instead of moving on quickly. Let it work on you.

Until next time… may your mind be empty, and your core be full. ☕

Today I go solo and talk about the crazy weather in Texas over the last week. I also got a package from my good friend at Chris Medellin Show. He sent me some beans from the Cartel Coffee Lab and it is superb! One thing that has kept me sane during all the snow and ice is a Wim Hot breaking exercise video. It is amazing for raising your vibration and triggering your immune system. No better time to try it out than during snowstorm in the middle of a pandemic. Thanks so much for listening!

I'm very excited today because Cameron from Hermit Radio joins me! I've been a big fan of his podcast over the last year and it was a pleasure to have this conversation with him.

I'm very excited about this episode. My guest is Ben from The Angry Dad Podcast and co-host of I Married a Bigfoot. Ben shares some great stories about a UFO encounter, having two alien implants and a Bigfoot encounter. That might sound like a lot for one person to experience but with Ben I know it's real! He is also a fellow coffee lover. We've been sending each other coffee for over a year now. The latest blend he sent me was Vita Cup Genius Coffee.

Bob Dylan said it best when he sang, 'there's no success like failure'. Today I join the league of epic failures by not hitting the record button on my Zoom call with Jimmy. He was supposed to be my guest this week, but mistakes happen. I decided to show up and share this story instead of feeling sorry for myself about why I can't Zoom properly. I had to let go of the blueprint this week and change the story. Hope you enjoy!

I finally replaced my record player. Listening to all this old vinyl reminded me of my favorite store Sundance Records in San Marcos. I spent countless hours there sifting through dollar bins to find some forgotten album and give it a new life. Sundance closed in 2012, but the effect that store had on me lives on in my memory today.  Coffee on this episode is Independence - Jet Fuel.

Anything worth doing is worth doing badly. Today I talk about the importance of giving ourselves permission to suck at something new. I think people all too often aren't patient enough with themselves. They will be with other people but when it comes to their own attempts at new things they're quick to criticize. What some fail to realize is that no one is paying attention to anyone but themselves. They don't care what you do and it's liberating!

When does night become day? Where exactly does easy end and difficult begin?

This week we're reading Verse Two from Stephen Mitchell's translation of the Tao Te Ching—a short passage about opposites, contrast, and why we exhaust ourselves trying to cling to only one side of life.

We'll talk about mountains and valleys, cold drinks on hot days, and what it means to act without forcing.

Pour some coffee. Take a breath. Let's sit with this for a few minutes.

In my last episode I ended by saying everyone is creative. Turns out I might be wrong according to Jordan Peterson who is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. For people that want to be creative one method seems to work above all else; be prolific. It doesn't have to be perfect to publish, launch or start up. Most of the people we think of as geniuses just created a ton of work and got really good in the process. Creativity for me is a skill, the more I use it the better and more rewarding it gets.  Jordan Peterson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocDli45faiw The Coffee Buzz https://www.thecoffeebuzzpodcast.com/ Instagram @thecoffeebuzzpc Twitter @thecoffeebuzzpc Facebook @thecoffeebuzzpodcast thecoffeebuzzpodcast@gmail.com Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3YG5U8GNwp7ifwYwTMVYfk

Netflix has a new documentary called The Social Dilemma. It features several ex employees of Facebook, Google and other tech giants talking about how they regret unleashing the social media AI overlords upon us.

Everyone should have at least one alter ego. By taking on a new image of ourselves we can change the program in our subconscious mind. If we do it enough times and we get better at it. The subconscious mind is like a tape recorder. When we take on an alter ego it’s like a permission slip to be someone else. Eventually you don’t need the alter ego because just like the regular ego it’s all an illusion. We can be whoever we want whenever we want but with an alter ego it allows us to slip right into a new way of thinking..

It's crazy how death can be a teacher. It’s a demanding teacher. In response to death’s message, we could shut down and become more hardened. Or we could open up, and become more free and loving. Our challenge is to figure out how to deal with it, because it is never a good plan to struggle against or deny reality. My method? Gratitude: it unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order.

This week I explore a dream I had and what it means to see a hat on the bed. It was two hats actually which if you've seen the movie Drugstore Cowboy you know is a bad omen. There are some that believe we connect to a higher  version of our selves in our dreams. It’s the multiverses theory that instead of being reincarnated one life at a time we exist on several astral planes at once and the only thing that keeps us from realizing this is our belief that we are separate.

Today I review 'Endgame 2050' a new documentary about the 6th extinction. Instead of it being caused by a volcano or meteor like the previous 5 extinctions this time it's one species causing most of the damage. Some hairless ape like  creature called humans. It took 65 million years to build that back all that biodiversity that was wiped out in the last extinction and in just 200 years we’ve managed to all but destroy it.  Some might say that sucks Brad but how does that affect me? The healthiest foods we eat are dependent on animal pollinators like bees. Without them we wouldn't have those options anymore...They help produce 75% of our crops!he last 40 years we’ve lost half of the wildlife on the planet. So when I was 6 years old there were twice as many animals as there are today.  How did we get here? Wiping out 50% of the animals is just 40 years? It’s overpopulation and how we consume resources. The livestock industry is the single largest user of land on earth. It’s the major driver of deforestation. They take up almost half of the planet. We always hear about how we should drive hybrid or electric cars, limit out electricity and water usage but the impact of our diet on the environment is the biggest factor. Animals make a very inefficient food source. They take up massive amounts of water, land and cause pollution. Try out a plant based diet today and become a superhuman!

The bus featured on the film 'Into the Wild' has been removed from it's remote Alaska location. In 1992 the bus was inhabited by 24-year-old adventurer Chris McCandless. His story was told by author Jon Krakauer in the 1996 book Into The Wild. In 2007 the book was adapted into a film directed by Sean Penn. This bus was in the middle of nowhere AL, located in the northern end of Denali National Park. The closest town is about 30 miles away and to reach it, you have to cross the fast-flowing Teklanika River. They had to move this bus because it this dangerous tourist attraction and people kept trying to make the trip to this bus, Two people have died trying. The most recent was killed when she was swept underwater while trying to cross the river with her husband. Five tourists looking for the bus were rescued - one with frostbite - after becoming lost 13 miles from where they were supposed to be. All in all There were 15 bus-related search and rescue operations by the state between 2009 and 2017. If you’re not familiar with the story or film in 1992 Chris hitchhikes into AL on a quest for self discovery. His last ride drops him off on a rugged road called Stampede trail. This trail was developed back in the 1930s by gold prospectors and later became a road for the state of AK. A bridge was never built over the near by Teklanika river. When Chris crossed the river in April the water level was still low. Snow and ice from the mountains hadn’t started to thaw. He makes it across the river and keeps following the trail. He was hoping to walk all the way to the Bering Sea, but one day he reached a clearing and saw bus 142 which would be the eventual resting point for Chris.

After the brutal murder of George Floyd protests started happening everywhere, but when the riots and looting started there were some notable red flags. Things like bricks being delivered to certain neighborhoods, police cars showing up with graffiti already painted on them and other orchestrated efforts to incite property damage. I go into several reasons on why this is done and how it happens all the time. It's the Problem-Reaction-Solution paradigm.  Problem-Reaction-Solution is defined as the strategy  of creating a crisis (the problem), waiting for a call for action to resolve the crisis (the reaction), then taking action (the solution),  supposedly in response, which actually furthers a hidden agenda, usually  gaining power. This is done because the ruling class are more aware of our collective power than we are. We are co-creators of reality capable of supernatural ability and it's time to take our power back.  I am a guest this week on the After Later Podcast with John Wessling.

The happiest people spend the most time in what's called a flow state. This is also refereed to as the runners high, or the zone, it's a state of unwrapped attention and total absorption. It's the vanishing of self which is very beneficial because this is the voice that usually talks us out of good ideas. Today I talk about the benefits of flow and how to attract it. Like anything else being in flow is a skill that can be learned by anyone.  The Coffee Buzz https://www.thecoffeebuzzpodcast.com/ Instagram @thecoffeebuzzpc Twitter @thecoffeebuzzp1 Facebook @thecoffeebuzzpodcast thecoffeebuzzpodcast@gmail.com

After some time away, I’m returning with a simpler format: short, calm episodes centered around the Tao Te Ching one verse at a time.

In this first episode, we begin with Verse One, a reminder that the deepest parts of life can’t always be captured in words, labels, or names.

This is a space for quiet reflection, a cup of coffee, and a few honest thoughts.

No rush. No pressure. Just a little room to breathe.

Verse featured: Tao Te Ching, Verse One
Theme: The unnamed, the mystery, and letting life be what it is

Verses are read from Stephen Mitchell’s translation of the Tao Te Ching.

Thanks for listening. I’ll be back soon with the next verse.

Bryan Adams is the latest person to get called out from the cancel culture for saying C19 came from China. However, just because someone reports a fire doesn't make them an arsonists. Wet Markets and factory farms are hot spots for disease and infection because the animals are kept in cramped, horrific, dirty environments. It's also barbaric AF. Thank you for listening!

This week I review the new Steven Greer documentary “Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind”. It's built around the idea that the all of us are capable of initiating alien contact. They are known as the CE-5 Protocols. The Alien agenda that has been advertised through the mainstream media and Hollywood movies is the notion that if life beyond earth exists it must surely be hostile, but what if that's not true? What if their real goal is to awaken us to science and consciousness? 

"Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind” is the third documentary, following “Sirius” (2013) and “Unacknowledged” (2017), centered around Dr. Steven Greer, Disclosure Project founder. He offers evidence of extraterrestrial contact, including top-secret testimonials, documents and never-before-seen UFO footage. Greer also says that the Congress, the President and other world leaders have been sidelined by criminal elements within the Military-Industrial-Financial complex.
