Hell
We have all had the experience of hell - the helplessness, the hopelessness, the misery. We got ourselves there by persistent thoughts of our lack of value, thoughts that there is something wrong with us, or shame or guilt. Whatever it was that got us there, we did it and we can undo it. Once we...

Just For The Fun of It
It seems that in this busy world of ours that we have lost sight of how valuable and important fun is. There are so many things that seem to need to be done first. Things like duty get priority and we get to have fun if and when there's time. I would suggest that fun is much more important than...

On Beyond Healing
While healing is very important to us, is just healing enough? Is there more to a full life than healing? I suggest that we go on beyond healing to full-fledged thriving, thriving in ways that we can barely conceive of right now. What might that look like? In this podcast we take a look at what...

Purpose, Destiny, and Choice
There are a great many philosophies that organize our lives around why we are here. Most of them are very disempowered. Suppose we choose to live lives of freedom and choice, seeing what we want to do and exploring those things as an adventure. It's messy and unpredictable, but its true to our...

Reality and Truth. Oh my!
We all have to decide for ourselves what is real and what is not. That choice may be to agree with some authority, but those of us who choose to think for ourselves must confront the challenge of saying what we're going to accept as real and true. In this podcast I present my response to the...

A Disorienting Room
You probably find that you don't like the feeling of being disoriented. That's quite understandable. But disorientation has its uses. Disorientation forces us to reevaluate where we are and what we think is going on. Yes, it implies change, but that can be a good thing. When we look at...

The Connoisseur of Feelings
Since everything we choose is based on our desire to feel better than we currently do, doesn't it make sense to spend some time looking at what we actually want to feel? Don't we want to choose the very best feelings that we can as we make our way through life? Since we have the power to choose...

Pleasure is the Measure of Success
