This episode delves into the limitations of language when exploring intangible concepts like spirituality. We challenge the common Western assumption that spirituality is merely mysticism or Eastern philosophy, highlighting its direct, experiential nature. We discuss why a 'universal basic explanation' is elusive, drawing parallels to describing color to the blind or music to the deaf. We explore the core of spirituality, not as a concept to be dissected, but as a state to be lived. Just as swimming cannot be learned from a lecture, spirituality requires immersion and personal experience. We examine how self-realized truths, born from lived experience, transcend intellectual understanding. We discuss why holy texts require spiritual interpretation, and why seeking 'light' is a personal journey. We underscore the importance of turning inward, of experiencing the 'light' for oneself, and how this direct encounter unveils the true nature of spirituality, a language spoken by the heart, not the tongue.

Aligning with natural law - the fundamental difference between natural law and man-made laws. It highlights the unwavering, impartial nature of natural laws, such as gravity, contrasting them with the often subjective and situational nature of human-created rules (which vary in end-results). It’s mentioned that that human ego and a disconnect from natural principles are the root causes of many societal and environmental problems. The podcast suggests a return to a more harmonious relationship with nature, similar to that of Native Americans, and encourages listeners to subdue their egos, practice empathy, and seek spiritual growth through practices like meditation and yoga. Ultimately, it calls for a shift towards living in accordance with natural law for a more balanced and peaceful existence.

How much more authentic can an article be when you're reading your own work? For my birthday, I journaled like always but after, I went back and read some of the entries I made months ago, even years ago. It seems like I'm reading someone else's work. But these are my words, my thoughts, my state of mind.  

Have you ever looked back at your own work and were so surprised, you imagine how you came up with that content? It's enlightening on different levels but, you feel as if you're reconnecting with a close friend, a true close companion that you know extremely well. 

If you have not started journaling yet, you'll find a sense of calm, productivity and self reflection. There is no audience. There is no wrong way to do it. Just start writing. It can be gratitude, affirmations, goals, and even putting your mind the state of having already accomplished what you're working for. The mind knows no difference. Have it (your mind) create a path to your success.

Ep 21 - Day of Self Reflection

Delve into the mysteries of Kabbalah, find stillness with Zen, uncover the wisdom of Freemasonry, and ponder the timeless questions of philosophy.
