In this episode, we dive into the transformative invitation found across diverse spiritual and philosophical traditions: “Come and see.” From Jesus’ call to his disciples, to the Tantric embrace of the sacred in all things, to Nietzsche’s challenge of revaluing all values, we explore how this call invites us beyond beliefs and doctrines, into direct, lived experience. Drawing on the Yogacara teachings of mind-made reality, the awe-inspired insights of Dacher Keltner, and the mysterious nature of the sacred in indigenous traditions, we uncover a common thread. This invitation is not to observe life from a distance but to fully engage with its complexity and depth—to experience meaning, connection, and truth for ourselves. Join us as we trace how this timeless call echoes through different cultures, philosophies, and paths, showing us that true wisdom lies not in theoretical knowledge but in a life fully lived.

What happens when we take a hard look at modern philosophy’s giants—from Sartre’s dilemmas to Midgley’s cultural critiques, and the postmodern unraveling of truth by Foucault and Derrida? In this episode, we dive into the ethical gaps left by these thinkers and explore Nietzsche’s call for reevaluation, Camus’s human-centered morality, and the enduring need for personal responsibility. Join us as we cut through the haze of postmodern skepticism to rediscover ethics as a living, breathing commitment to ourselves and others.

the poppy and the silent majority in Canada. Are we witnessing a reversion, or a mass renaissance of Canadian pride and identity, in what we held together as our ethos? Can we see these small symbols as a sign of change but also an archetype?

notes made while listening to a video by a pastor by the name of Paul Vanderklay and I found it quite interesting that well just the ideas that came up so this is the idea of how do we rebuild our faith without casting it aside. how do we reconstruct it essentially a modern thought experiment that is very similar to theseus's boat I mean how do we rebuild the boat while we're currently sailing in it how do we rebuild our faith our hope our meaning our church our communities our society how do we do it when it seems so disenfranchised maybe even broken to many people?

cannabis and our spiritual and physical journey.

I discuss a rare but important interpretation of purgatory both within Christian doctrine and Dante's work itself one of an evolution of the self a reconnection with source very much in tune with with many other philosophies the meaning of yoga itself means the exact same thing it's to reconnect oneself with God same thing that St John of the Cross said about the aridity of the Soul is this hollow emptiness we feel are days are filled with this modern malaise that Carl Jung talked about over 100 years ago that was very easily solved by adopting a religious view in life so the same can be said about self when we treat ourselves and others with the reverence they're due that's when we see this Soul change when we talk a lot about sea change this is about Soul change

Campbell Nietzsche Arendt Jung Baudrillard... what is the truth of our soul, the truth of our being, our selves, and others? and what is the path thru chose, to order?

a long journey into the real reason we are losing critical thinking skills, reading, learning... it is a list focus, not technology or devices, not how we read... it is we are not reading, not being engaged; with learning, with thought, with introspection...

Understanding the human need for meaning, certainty, and disagreement.

I share the question I failed to ask this weekend in my Gita class on chapter 14. Does an asked question guide as well? Unanswered without, but considered within?

I get personal. Healing, finding, and staying on your path.

A story about language and ego refined?

I share this insight from Buddhism that I have entitled the ersatz self this fake self that tends to be the source of so much evil and suffering in the world yet the entire world is a stage and we tend to be actors upon it

Today, I want to explore the profound journey of self-discovery and internal evolution, focusing on the importance of healing trauma, cultivating meaningful relationships, and finding purpose through community. I will challenge ideas such as Jamie Wheal’s “meaning 3.0” from *Recapture the Rapture* and instead emphasize the real solutions: *ecstasis*, *catharsis*, and *communitas*—the keys to healing and connection.

We like to think we've moved beyond faith, but are we really as rational as we claim? In this episode we examine how our society still leans on mystical ideas like jungian archetypes to explain history, even when evidence tells a different story. Join us as we question whether modern rationality is just a more sophisticated form of belief. A form of the blind faith we try to distance ourselves from?

I share some recent insights on language and culture. On even how do we get through this modern malaise, this cultural ennui. How to achieve critical thinking without language, without culture, and without the context?

What do Socrates, the tetralemma, and a Nobel prize have in common?

In this episode of The Search for Meaning, we explore the disturbing parallels between Viktor Frankl's insights on meaning and modern scientific studies of behavior. We'll dive into Frankl's reflections on the human need for purpose, the infamous rat experiments that exposed our addiction to pleasure, and John B. Calhoun's "Mouse Utopia," which foretold societal collapse in the face of abundance. Drawing on Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept of "herd beasts," we'll discuss how, in a world without a higher sense of meaning, we’ve become slaves to a non-existent master—seeking fleeting pleasure and comfort at the cost of self-knowledge, purpose, and genuine freedom. Join us as we ask: Can we reclaim our role as arbiters of meaning? Or are we destined to follow the path of the herd beasts into existential despair?

A response to Jordan Peterson and Vivek Ramaswamy’s discussion about God, while incorporating the ideas about the tetralemma, linguistic relativity, and dual coding. It aims to be critical yet positive, offering solutions and insights.

In this episode, we dive deep into the idea that we are all atypical learners. Challenging the traditional categories of neurodiverse and neurotypical, we explore how Allan Paivio’s *Dual Coding Theory*—the idea that we process information both visually and verbally—could be more relevant today than ever before. We’ll look at how modern education may have lost sight of diverse learning styles, and how the rise in reading difficulties could be linked to abandoning visual learning strategies. Through personal insights and examples, we’ll argue that each of us exists on a spectrum of learning styles, making us all "atypical" in our own way. Join us as we question the conventional approach to learning and education, and advocate for embracing the full spectrum of how our minds really work.

As the description. I explore the intersection of psychology and philosophy, east and west, light and dark, good vs evil: inversion to the opposite. Enantiadromia.

The battle between reason and imagination.

Self-help Psychology and Personal Transformation. A scripted intro to my own interpretation/translation of Fritz Nietzsche. The greatest psychologist, greatest philologist, greatest self help guide in the modern era. Who better to solve the modern malaise.

hey my first scripted podcast entitled "healing the disconnect: why the standard approach to therapy education and society is leaving us wanting" in this episode I outline would have been working on for the last while and why I think it might be transformational to our journey

I discussed a recent episode of the huberman podcast where they were talking about emotional intelligence and it's funny cuz everything I said in the audio proved to be prophetic because after recording I listened to the podcast and they both proceeded to admit how messed up the two of them are seriously the two of them should be in therapy but we luckily can still learn from their mess.

I discuss why we are at a crossroads. Do we admit our failings or do we finish the elimination of humanity? Did the mouse utopia experiments tells us where we are today. Did Nietzsche warn us over a hundred years ago? That if we live an unchallenged life we will have an unfulfilling experience? Amor Fati. Love our lot, that is what drives us forward.

Everything is Lost in Translation? I share a podcast about the Iliad, and language. That led to me realising that we are losing everything to translation. Not just great works. Now we risk losing our very essence, our being. Do we lose who and what we are when we lose perspective? When our authenticity is fake and our hope fades into obscurity? Hope, like meaning is never lost. Like Proust and his time. It is only misplaced.

I discuss what I believe holding many of us back as a society and a culture individually as a group as a tribe as a religion as a church as a school everything was holding its back is us.

I discuss some recent books and the truth about education. we need to teach our children logic, reason, thinking ..

I discuss some inter faith theories with AI. koinonia. equanimity.

I discussed the recent podcast where they discussed near-death experiences synchronicity Carl Jung's red book and the secret to acting without regret. For me all of these topics are synergistic because they all speak to the exact same thing. That we define what we value, we define who and what we are. We are our greatest creation... So follow me while I explore these ideas

A continued discussion of Carl Jung and meaning, how we view our experience. Will you love all as ordered or suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Will you take up arms? And so see the suffering have meaning? Will you will your will to propel you to your potential?

we define our meaning, so the via Activa is our way to hope and meaning. I discuss micro dosing and healing. the nature of self..

I discuss the universal teaching of soul, atman, Buddha nature... 8th and 9th consciousness....

What does the Japanese character 'Basho' represent. Why did Nishitani and Carl Jung both use this idea of 'place'? Where is this place? Is it external to us, is it internal to us, or is it both?

I talk about an idea that has resonated with me for the last few days: that are we living in the post Holocaust age? How does that inform Jungian psychology about the shadow, Hannah Arendt and the origins of totalitarianism, Desmet's and Nietzsche on identity...

I discuss a little theory that I have. That it's education, it's thinking and reasoning that we need more of. The modern malaise is such that we're not thinking beings as we should be. Since we're the ones that define our value and the value of things that we create and that we endorse... so follow me on this journey of understanding

I discussed the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Paris. I discussed the reaction to it. I discussed the excuse for why "it's not about the last supper it's about to Bacchus or a Dionysus" but how that actually makes it much worse... ps: it is both.

I discuss a number of interactions I have had with AI. translations of many languages. Basho/place to Jung and Nishitani. between worldsmen for Nietzsche's hinterwelter. Joe Rogan and his love for Allegro 's the mushroom and the cross. How AI will not replace our creativity, but enhance it exponentially...

I read three translations of one chapter from Zarathustra. On war and of warriors.

Today I read three different translations of one chapter and Nietzsche's Zarathustra. Of the thousand and one Goals. showing how the translation can change the meaning, and often cannot give the complete story as intended by the original language and/or the original author's voice may have had a unique way of using words.

Why we learn? Gesamtlieben. Vollstandig.

Value, meaning ... Vivekananda Nietzsche Jung Bible Vedanta Arendt... What is our purpose, who defines value? Hint: an educated, and compassionate we. **Re-upload with better audio.

I discuss a couple situations in my life. How I lost friends, in an attempt to win for myself: my Self?

I use a personal experience to showcase our desperate need for logic and reason in our daily lives. Aka= education and thinking. Everyone and everywhere.

My experiences with AI in translation and self directed education. Recent and over the last few years....

I discuss the final chapter of Ulysses... Yes! Say Yes to life... In a world of strife, and meaning and hope are rare... Our way out is thru... The eternal return .. see all as ordered... Imagine living this life over again exactly as lived... Over and over, again and again. Prometheus meets ground hog day... Liberation is only felt within the soul.

From last week. There is a radio in the background. We will see if it remains. Therapies/protocols for healing. Wholeness. Individuation. Internal family systems. Trauma. Healing. Who are we?

What is wrong with our health, our wellness?

So I watched portions of the Terrence Howard/Eric Weinstein Joe Rogan podcast. I've also watched Sabine hofsteter's response. I've watched a bunch of responses but the thing that bothered me the most was that no one called Neil Dumarse Tyson on his horrible misunderstanding of the Dunning Kruger. Maybe he's just trolling us and he was playing dumb: because he gave the most perfect example of what Dunning Kruger is really meant to teach us. That some of the dumbest people in society are the most educated. That truly our only way forward is to have a sense of doubt, especially in our own BS....
