Episode 20 John Meets the Buddha #buddha #Jesus #self #reality #divine #sacredtexts #spirituality

This Episode includes me trying to make sense of John and the Buddha, and it features four aliens trying to make sense of a truck on a desert highway. How do these two things go together? And what does it have to tell us about “ultimate reality?” I have been looking forward to getting these two into the same room, after spending one on one time with them over 20 Episodes, or about 10 each,…and now here we are, two of my good friends, all together… Now what? I have a list! My list has been developing over the course of the last 20 Episodes…And if you are new to the podcast, that means you have missed a lot and as you join us in my living room for coffee you might start feeling a little lost…like the feeling of sitting around with a group of people who have known each other a long time. Even though I am boiling my list down to three main themes, there are going to be a lot of things we’ve covered in prior weeks that I have to just assume everybody knows. So, I apologize in advance. My three things, boiled down: What is wrong How do we fix it What is real And that last one is actually what most interests me because it seems like the first two sort of hinge on that. So I will begin by asking my friends to talk about that…what is real, what is “ultimate reality,” though I am very aware that this is vocabulary neither friend would use.
