WHY WHY WHY !!! Jason Desmond We ask WHY for many things ! The HOW is always pretty structured but the why of things is even more interesting The Search for Answers Bill Kraftson & Larry Moody Why ask why? Some people are OK believing whatever they're told, but many of us have serious questions and want honest answers. This audio dialogue is dedicated to sincere truth seekers everywhere. Meditate With Me: Conversations About New Spiritual Paths, Peace, Harmony and Compassion Gerald E Smith I am unlocking the doors by having the courage to ask why.Every question is a step.Having recently crossed 70, I find myself looking back—not with regret, but with curiosity. Time, as it turns out, was never something to be hoarded or stretched thin. I spent years chasing ideas, proving myself, and running at a relentless pace. What I missed in the process was the simplest and most elusive thing of all—the moment I was already in.I am learning now, not to control time, but to live it. To let each moment be what it is, free from yesterday’s weight and tomorrow’s pull. To pause. To breathe. To ask questions not for the sake of answers, but for the clarity they bring.This podcast is my space to explore those questions, to strip away the unnecessary, and to share what remains—sometimes as reflections, sometimes in raw, unpolished thoughts, sometimes in poetry that may or may not make sense to anyone but me.

The Monstrous Desire Study is here to ask: why?
