Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame!The four distinct faces of shame that all interplay with each other:1. Toxic shame (ouch!) there is something deeply wrong with me-i am bad.2. ⁠Invitational shame, opportunity to learn, grow, make amends, deepen empathy & put things right.3. ⁠The blamers & shamers- they project their own unprocessed toxic shame onto others. Always angry, always looking for the opportunity to be offended!4. ⁠playful shame.

In this episode, I take a close look at two opposing energies in the human personality. What dictates how we present to the world? Arrogant, over confident, inflated, unpleasant, unkind..or lovable, warm, friendly, affable, modest, considerate, balanced & grounded..Are we a mixture of both? Are we naturally one way? Does choice enter the picture? I’l be discussing this & more & as usual we’l have some groovy tunes!Podcast Editor - Ger Kellett CLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST OF THIS EPISODE.........References --------------‘Gumboots’ Paul Simon (Ft The Boyoyo boys) from Graceland (1986)‘Can i kick it?’ A tribe called quest from Peoples instinctive travels & the paths of rhythm (1990)‘Games people play’ Lucinda Williams from Southern soul: From Memphis to Muscle Shoals & more (2020)‘Real’ Kendrick Lamar (Ft Anna Wise) from Good kid m.A.A.d city(2012)‘You can do magic’ Limme & the family cooking-Single (1972)‘All i want’ Joni Mitchell from Blue (1972)‘Everybody loves me, baby’ Don Mclean from American pie (1971)‘Maybe im amazed’ Paul Mcartney from Paul Mcartney (1971)‘Aint no cure for love’ (Leonard Cohen) performed by Jennifer Warnes from Famous blue raincoat (1987)‘The way it is’ Bruce Hornsby & the range from the way it is (1987)‘Everyday people’ Sly & the family stone from The essential Sly & The family stone (1968)

Playing safe, following rules & guidelines rigidly, can be a hiding place from real living. Playing psychological games ie: the intellectual, the cynical, the smarmy, entitled victim..grows old & tiresome..being saved on the other hand, requires courage, risking being vulnerable, willingness to walk, jump or dive into the epicentre of human love, relationships & experiences..are you curious?

Comedy, humour, hilarity..what's that got to do with therapy/healing/growth? Well I would say good sense of humour & the ability to laugh playfully at ourselves is essential to recovery & the life journey..In fact, I believe a comedic attitude can bring us deep into our most painful wounds & also has the power to soothe & lift us right out of the dark & shine a beautiful light on the pathway ahead..Podcast Editor - Ger KellettCLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST FOR THIS EPISODE.......References --------------------‘Going up the country’ Canned Heat from Living the blues (1968)‘Joy ‘ Katie Melua from Album number 8 (2020)‘Look on the bright side of life’ Monty Python from the motion picture The life of Brian (1979)‘Reasons to be cheerful Pt3 Ian Dury & the blockheads from Sex, drugs & rock n roll (1989)‘I’l be your fool (Feat The Mcrary sisters) Josh Farrow from Trouble walks with me (2016)‘The Joker’ Steve Miller band from The Joker (1973)‘Fatman in the bathtub’ Little Feat from Dixie Chicken (1973)‘Nocturnal stumblebutt’ Loudon Wainright (111) from A live one (1979)‘Hey man (now you’re really living) The Eels from Blinking lights & other revelations (2005)‘Beauty in thr world’ Macy Gray-Single (2010)

This episode explores how we are quick to blame/judge & condemn each other, which is very different to taking ownership/responsibility & being accountable. In fact the blame game is how we avoid genuine self reflection & willingness to look at ourselves. This all plays out with in the ugly backdrop of a toxic culture of blame & victimhood. Trumpism, maga mentality has saturated our consciousness & sullied our world view with its cynicism, cruelty & unkindness. Do not despair! There is a powerful counter movement which is striving to reconnect with & reclaim good faith accountability, responsibility, honesty, love & compassion..fuck that blame bollox!!!Podcast Editor - Ger KellettCLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST FOR THIS EPISODE.........References -----------------------‘Blame it on me’ George Ezra from Wanted on voyage (2014)‘Cinder blocks’ Onward, Soldiers (2012)‘Friendship’ Chris Stapleton from From a room vol 2 (2017)‘Changes’ Black Sabbath from Black Sabbath vol 4 (1972)‘Fresh blood’ Eels from Hombre Lobo (2009)‘Eight line poem’ David Bowie from Hunky Dory (1971)‘Shame on the moon’ Bob Seger & the silver bullet band from The distance (1982)‘I’ll get along’ The first times-Single (2019)‘Walk this road’ The Doobie brothers (Feat Mavis Staples) from Walk this road (2019)‘Thats life’ (Music from the motion picture) Lady Gaga Joker Folie a Deux (2024)

I'm in conversation with the amazing Amy Cummins. She tells us about her childhood challenges & first ventures into the art of caring as she looked after her mam who struggled with her mental health & cared for her siblings while her dad worked hard.

While there is definitely a universal, divine light enveloping & permeating each person & the world, we all have a personal responsibility to generate, activate & share that light with others. There is a choice involved, we can’t wait around hoping/praying it will just happen! We are called to co-operate & align with our own unique, unrepeatable & magical way of relating to life.

Have you ever wondered: What is the soul? Is it real? What does it mean? How do i know i have one?!!! In this Pod I explore the meaning of the soul from a spiritual/metaphysical perspective. In science & psychology we refer to Narcissism within the cluster b personality group, from a philosophical point of view we have the Dark Tetrad which includes narcissism, Psychopathy, Machiavellianism & sadism..however, when observed through a Spiritual lens the emphasis is on the soul quality, presence, warmth & light..this is Soulful..alternatively, where there is a cold, flat, empty space devoid of any light..we wonder: Is there a soul there at all? We call this Soulless..Podcast Editor - Ger KellettCLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST FOR THIS EPISODE......References ---------------‘Long train running’ The Doobie Brothers from The Captain & me (1973)‘Sweet little mystery’ John Martyn from Grace & Danger (1980)‘In this world’ Moby from Moby 18 (2002)‘You have placed a chill in my heart’ The Eurythmics from Eurythmics greatest hits (1986)‘Cold Cold Cold’ Bonnie Raitt & Little Feat from Rock n Roll doctor Lowell George tribute (1997)‘The Game’ Dory Previn from Mythical kings & Iguanas (1971)‘The miracle of love’ The Eurythmics from Eurythmics greatest hits (1986)‘Lovin in my baby’s eyes’ Taj Mahal from Phantom blues (1996)‘Its only natural’ Crowded house from Woodface (1991)‘Soulshine’ Gvt Mule from The Deep end Vol 1 (2001)

Hey! What’s that sound? I can hear you, can you hear me? In this episode we take a good look at communication through the sounds of our voices..our tonality, inflection, speed, pitch & energy etc..there is far more information in how we say something as opposed to what we are saying-the content.

Lets continue exploring the different instruments & sounds in the band. We covered Bass & Drums, now its the turn of the guitar intro/opening, ya know those opening few bars/chords that grab your soul senses & leaving you with only one thing to say: ‘What (or who) the fuck was that!’ The guitar intro is crucial to the whole song, it decides weather you're in or not, if indeed you are going to invest in this tune! I liken this to our first encounters with people, do they draw you in, entice you & seduce you... more importantly though, are they the real deal? Do they have sustenance, quality & the good stuff once the initial ritual is over..?

What did Jesus mean by ‘in the world, but not of it?’ He sure did speak in cryptic riddles didn’t he! I figure he saying that being of the world makes you a silly cunt who brings no good to no-one...

Is this whole life thing, the human experience, somehow a workout for what's to follow in the great gig in the sky? Are we experimenting, learning, exploring ways to be ourselves & co-exist with other humans & beings? Can we touch heaven on earth or hell equally? I don’t know the answers to these mysteries... but hey, no harm in having a good aul chat about it!Podcast Editor - Ger KellettCLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST FOR THIS EPISODE.......References ---------------------‘Highway to hell’ AC/DC from Highway to hell (1979)‘Amelia’ Joni Mitchell from Hejira (1976)‘Be’ (introduction of Jonathan) Neil Diamond from Jonathan Livingston seagull (1973)‘Lovely day’ Bill Withers from Menagerie (1977)‘Heaven’ Joan Armatrading from Track record (1983)‘Both sides now’ Joni Mitchell from Both sides now (2000)‘Have a good time’ Paul Simon from Still Crazy after all these years (1975)‘Knockin on heavens door’ Bob Dylan from the motion picture Pat Garrett & Billy the kid (1973)‘Its not easy’ Ofege from Try to love (1973)‘Into the mystic’ Van Morrison (1973)

In this episode, I take a close look at how we communicate with each other. What is our motive/intention if we want to say something to someone? Particularly if that is a challenge, a call out, or we are inviting someone to explore something? How do we receive such information? What about passive/aggressive radio silence communication? Which in fact is the loudest form of communication. I do focus on the ‘high horse brigade’ & how their clipped, judgmental, condescending approach creates a particular unpleasant dynamic-there’s something about that sanctimonious, fake victim tone that can turn the stomach & hurt your head. We also explore pashmina diverse culture & how they hide behind the ‘I'm cool & reasonable’ veneer. Either way, lets examine what we are saying to each other, why we are saying it, & the all important how we are conveying our messages.Podcast Editor - Ger KellettCLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST FOR THIS EPISODE..........References ---------------------‘Saddle up’ David Christie from Back in control (1982)‘Blind my mind’ Flunk from Morning star (2004)‘Sun king’ The Beatles from Abbey Rd (1969)‘Some people are crazy’ John Martyn from Grace & Danger (1980)‘Fake plastic trees’ Radiohead from The Bends (1995)‘Takin it to the streets’ The Doobie Bros from Takin it to the streets (1976)‘Communique’ Dire Straits from Communique (1979)‘I cant get with that (Schmoove version) from Come find yourself (1996)‘Any major dude will tell you’ Steely Dan from Pretzel logic (1974)‘On your way down’ Little feat from Dixie Chicken (1973)‘Pumped up kicks’ Foster the people from Torches (2010)

In this episode, I take a deep dive down into the gastrointestinal tract, more commonly referred to as our gut. I highlight how this is far more than a feeling/sensation in our tummy, this starts in the mouth & travels right through to the bowels & anal canal. I also explore the relationship between intuition & the gut, trauma triggers, critical thinking & integration...Podcast Editor - Ger KellettCLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST FOR THIS EPISODE........References -----------------------‘Kiss’ Prince from Parade (1986)‘Gut feeling’ The Coronas from The Wire (2017)‘Ive got a feeling’ The Beatles from Let it be (1970)‘Baby let me follow you down’ Bob Dylan from Bob Dylan (1962) ‘Got to have rock n roll’ The heartless bastards from Arrow (2012)‘Its a beautiful thing’ Ocean colour scene from Marching already (1997)‘Hungry for your love’ Van Morrison from Wavelength (1978)‘Out of the sinking’ Paul Weller from Stanley Road (1995)‘Willin’ Little Feat from Sailing shoes (1972)‘The Dancer’ The Frames (Glen Hansard) From Another love song (1991)

Lets take another trip into the fascinating world of covers, versions & interpretations of classic songs by other artists. There are so many fabulous options- I've chosen twelve & could probably do 12 episodes exploring different renditions of popular or loved tunes. While all this is going on, I invite you to examine your own ‘cover stories’ what are the good ones? Funny ones, what are you covering up about yourself that you are ashamed of or unsure of? Relax, make yourself comfortable, settle in & continue to listen....Podcast Editor - Ger KellettCLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST FOR THIS EPISODE........References -------------‘Everyday people’ (Sly & the family Stone) performed by Joan Jet & the blackhearts from Album expanded edition (1983)‘Buckets of rain’ (Bob Dylan) performed by Redbird from Redbird (2005)‘Sorrow’ (Feldman,/Goldstein & Gotherer) performed by David Bowie from Pinups (1973)‘‘Couldn’t get it right’ (Climax blues band) performed by The fun lovin criminals from Mimosa (1999)‘Say hello, wave goodbye’ (Mark Almond/Soft Cell) performed by David Gray from White ladder (1998)‘Case of you’ (Joni Mitchell) performed by Brian Kennedy from A love letter to Joni (2013)‘I guess thats why they call it the blues’ (Elton John/Bernie Taupin) performed by Alessia Cara Revamp: The songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin (2018)‘Fade into you’ (Mazzy Starr) performed by J Mascis from single (2015)‘Tired of being alone’ (Al Green) performed by Texas from single (1992)‘Midnight rider’ (The Alman Brothers band) performed by Paul Davidson (1975)‘Heaven’ (Talking heads) performed by Simply Red from Picture book (1985)‘Everybody’s talkin’ (Fred Neil)Performed live by The Tedeschi/Trucks band from Everybody’s talkin (2012)

In this episode, we play around with catchy, famous bass lines, riffs, licks & breaks. I simultaneously explore baseline behaviours, underlying baseline energy. The bass is humble, unassuming, understated-yet it's vital for the whole band/song to function & work. The bass notes are deep in the core of the human soul, the drums are the heartbeat & the guitars, keyboards & whole symphony are beautiful expressions of our very essence...Podcast Editor - Ger KellettCLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST FOR THIS EPISODE.............References -----------------‘Late in the evening’ Paul Simon from One trick pony (1980)‘Walk on the wild side’ Lou Reed from Transformer (1972)‘The chain’ Fleetwood Mac from Rumours (1977)‘La femme d’argent’ Air from Moon safari (1998)‘Money’ Pink Floyd from Dark side of the moon (1973)Stepping out’ Joe Jackson from Night & day (1982)‘Another one bites the dust’ Queen from The Game (1980)‘Come together’ The Beatles from Abbey Road (1969)‘Dancing in the moonlight’ Thin Lizzy from Bad reputation (1977)‘Slave’ The Rolling Stones from Tattoo you (1981)‘Rikki dont loose that number’ Steely Dan from Pretzel logic (1974)‘Warewolves of London’ Warren Zeavon from Excitable boy (1978)‘All right now’ Free from Fire & Water (1970)
