    Evolutionary Biology, Science, and Myth

    · Alive and Free

    Biology, evolution, science, and religions are all great and can be useful tools in life. But they shouldn’t interfere with your experience. We live in the present, the now. Not 100, not 500, not 5000 years ago. Today we’re going to talk about this more. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    There isn’t a bodiless it out there, like god, that is saying; “this is the case and you must accept it”. But because it’s in a book, people accept it. (9:05) Just because you can connect all the dot’s on the paper, doesn’t mean that you actually understand the paper. (17:20) It’s not that science is bad. But in the end, it’s not needed to live a powerful life. The effort to try and understand the distant past, has prevented people from making use of the present, in order to have a powerful experience in your life. (33:35)

    F.A.I.R.O's

    · Alive and Free

    FAIRO is an acronym for “false ah-ha’s impersonating real ones”. Meaning that when an ah-ha moment comes up, no time is wasted in assuming it is the answer and not just an observation. Today we’re going to talk about this more. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    There’s danger in assuming that an ah-ha moment is the truth. (7:55) The ah-ha moment is the moment when you’ve conceptualized the world into an idea. (13:30) Assessing someone on a first impression isn’t the issue. Clinging to the impression is. (22:00) Stop making assumptions from ah-ha’s and start making real observations. (30:30)

    False But Useful???

    · Alive and Free

    Today we’re going to do a little bit of a play by play of a book that I recently read. But as we talk, find what’s useful, and keep it. then toss the rest out. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    There are humans so busy suffering and chasing power, money, prestige and all the other things that they end up killing each other for it. (3:05) I was making all kinds of claims, but I found a lot of frustration in that that I wasn’t willing to admit. When something wasn’t working I’d turn it on, and judge myself more poorly because what I assumed was the truth wasn’t. (7:15) Continue to look and hear with your eyes and ears, find what’s valuable and toss the rest. (35:15) If the body is in a negative state then negative thoughts will emerge. (37:20) Don’t make the mistake of believing that thoughts are reality. They are just a part of your experience. (44:50)

  • Everyday Bliss

    Everyday Bliss

    · Alive and Free

    Everyday bliss. Just being in a space where you can enjoy running your body, from just being alive. Not having to operate from a place of constant tension. We’re going to talk about that more today. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    When talking about a life, it isn’t the big things that I’m talking about. It’s how do you open the car door, cut food, talk to your spouse, it’s all the little things. (8:10) If the nerve is already agitated to the brink of firing, then the tiniest little thing will set it off. (10:45) People don’t want control over everything, they want life to happen in a beautiful way for them, no matter what’s going on. (25:25) The inner party, is louder than the outer chaos.

  • Proprioception

    Proprioception

    · Alive and Free

    Proprioception can be often thought of how you perceive your physical situation, but it goes a lot deeper than that. It is how you perceive yourself in any situation. Proprioception is how you catch yourself in the act of living. We’re going to talk about this in depth today. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    The prediction is made first, and only if the prediction is wrong, is more energy spent trying to figure out what’s going on. (6:00) We end up limiting our future by never challenging the predictions of the past. (11:20) The physicality of it is an attempt to sideline all of the thinking and doomsday-ing that’s happening inside. (21:45) If a reaction to something was less than it was before, and if it stays that way over the course of a day or two, the brain is now making different guesses about the idea that has been adopted.

    Affirmations & Disbelief

    · Alive and Free

    AF 243 - Affirmations & Disbelief

    Sounding like opposite ends of a spectrum, affirmations and disbelief are not so different. In fact, affirmations come for the disbelief in yourself and the lack of surety. Today we’ll talk about this more. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    If you don’t go through pain, then you don’t gain pain. (3:45) People are trying to find a trauma to blame their problems on, and they feel worse because they’re “just that messed up”. (8:35) I can say that I feel like there’s something missed in the beauty of life, in its natural form.

    Integrity vs Honesty

    Highlights:

    
under the assumption that in the next 20 years of life, an opinion would and should never change. (5:40) If I could connect to people on their goodness, then positive things would come out of it. But I thought goodness meant that people thought and operated the same way I do. (14:55) At different times in the world, goodness would have been defined differently. (18:00) Only when the perception change, does the reaction change. (27:05)

    What if You Don't Have a Problem?

    · Alive and Free

    The culture around addiction and mental illness today convinces you that you have a massive problem. It’s fueled by your subconscious mind. And it’s something you’re helpless over.

    But what if none of that is true?

  • Body-Based Approach to Happiness, Health, and Well-being.

    Body-Based Approach to Happiness, Health, and Well-being.

    · Alive and Free

    So Bob is out of town, and Lee decided to do a classic rewind of an important podcast. With one of two amazing episodes; this is from September 1, 2021, called The Body-Based Approach to Happiness, Health, and Well-being.

    In our modern society, we put too much emphasis on our minds, thoughts, and feelings. The problem with this is your mind is just a fraction of your total experience of life.

    In fact, your whole body is a brain. And I can prove it. Pinch your finger right now and you’ll experience pain signals shooting up to your brain.

    Yet, when it comes to emotional baggage, trauma, addictions, and other mental ailments, we forget about the body and hyperfocus on the mind.

    If you want to permanently free yourself from these mental diseases, you have to first start in your body. Ancient cultures from all over the world knew how to do this. But we forgot how to do it in our modern world.

    In this episode, I’m revealing how a body-based approach to happiness, health, and well-being is more effective than any therapist could hope to be. Listen now.

    Show highlights include:

    The strange way laws prevent therapists from helping you as much as they could (4:09) Why therapy and counseling can only help a fraction of your mental health problems (even if it feels like they’re working) (14:33) How chanting mantras can actually make your anxiety, depression, and even schizophrenia subside (17:11) Why using your body is the single best way to eliminate all your mental and emotional baggage forever (19:32) How to teach your body freedom so you can erase mental health problems, addictions, and even chronic pain from your life (28:38)

  • E-Comas

    E-Comas

    · Alive and Free

    Comas aren’t always, lights out and unconscious for a long time. Sometimes it’s just the lack of energy from overstimulation. And in today’s world, there’s a lot of it. Today we’ll talk about it more. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    Everything you see is changing the tension patterns in your body, and that’s going to change your perspective of things. (8:00) When you prime your system with; something’s gone wrong and we have to find the mystery, you unconsciously live your life that way. What entertains you, trains you. (13:05) When you do something unconsciously, it seems like you don’t experience it. (20:35) Instead of wondering why there’s little energy to do things, maybe, just maybe, It’s being used to process everything you see. (28:00)

  • Mastering the Breath

    Mastering the Breath

    · Alive and Free

    The breath has been studied many times over for years. All the little tips and tricks can help understand the breath. But mastering it comes for paying attention to how it feels to you. Today, we’ll talk about the breath. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    People tend to try to master breathing by only thinking about breathing in certain regards or certain breathing practices instead of understanding the nature and depth of what breath really is. (6:30) The best place to start, in terms of mastering the breath, is to pay attention to it. How are you breathing during the day? (8:40) How are you breathing? And when you consciously slow it down, what changes? (14:25) You’re never going to see the link in how you’re breathing and what you’re doing and how you’re feeling, until you pay attention. (26:50)

  • Biology Over Psychology

    Biology Over Psychology

    · Alive and Free

    Not everything is purely psychological. The biology of a person has a lot to do with their emotions, their thoughts and their moods. So, connection the biology to the psychology can be a key experience to letting go of trauma and addiction.

    Highlights:

    I’m taking my years and years of experience understanding how the mind and body are intertwined, to bring the mind and the body together too un-stitch all of the quilted patterns of misery that people have stitched to themselves over the course of their lives. (12:50) There’s nothing wrong with allowing breath work to happen, but why not let it happen on purpose? Why not be deliberate with how you use the breath? (14:05) I hold people in this spot, teetering on the edge of play and challenge and discomfort, back and forth to where they can’t keep holding on to their old reasons to suffer. And somewhere in the middle of it, the magic happens. (27:05) The key understanding is that people’s thoughts and feelings come from their biology. (33:50)

    Recovering Recovery

    · Alive and Free

    Recovery shouldn’t take forever. There’s no reason for you to be an addict, or a recovering addict, for a majority of your life. Today we’re gonna talk about that a little more. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    If you are not able to live a life free of that thing, and happy, and more capable than you were before, then it doesn’t deserve the title of a rehab center. (4:00) I’ve often compared it to being chased by a rabid dog; you always have to stay one step ahead and you can’t stop. (6:55) If it takes 30 years to overcome something that can happen in days, weeks, or months, then whoever’s running that program, doesn’t have a clue about it. (11:20) How closely have you paid attention to the small things, and how well have you trained yourself to recover. (14:20)

    · Alive and Free

    Knowing that there are more than the 5 senses you were taught throughout your childhood, let’s talk about another one. Today we’re going to talk about the sense of self. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    Humans use a sense of self as a way to navigate the world of society and as a way of motivating ourselves. (9:00) We talk about ourselves as if that’s who we are all the time, but really, that’s something that is altered. (13:25) That self is whatever I’ve identified as me. It has to do with experiences I’ve collected, or had powerful emotional responses to, or the things that have felt “important”. (18:45) This search for who you are, is what a lot of people are on.

    An Immense World

    · Alive and Free

    We live in such an immense world. The belief that humans are a superior race and are built to rule all is not true just because we’ve invaded everything. Today we’ll talk more about what’s going on in not our world, and what we’re missing. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    We are so dependent on our eyes, We are so dependent on our eyes because they are the most delicate of our senses. (4:00) Across the board, humans aren’t really doing much difference, except in terms of quality. (13:20) There is something that we’re calling life that is massively varied, all of which is experiencing itself in a variety of ways that we humans can’t even understand and yet we have the hubris to believe that we are the reason for all of it and that we are more important and better than the rest of it when there’s so many places where we fall short and so many things we do not see. (15:30) There’s so much that we don’t understand about reality, so much that we are missing because our senses are set up to help our species survive the way that this species does. (18:05)

    How Emotions Are Made

    · Alive and Free

    Today, we’re going to think about what’s really going on when you tell somebody that your day was good, or when you feel sad. Although it might seem like just a simple feeling, there’s more to it than that. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    They were creating stories about how they were marred when in reality they weren’t, and that goes back to, what are we creating with our own thoughts. (11:50) These experiences are built out of a brain that’s just pulling information from the body that it happens to be sitting in. (14:25) It’s a lot easier to live in a world where you already know what’s going on. (35:25) Emotions are not a reflection reality at all, it is your brain’s best guess about how it should respond to the situation. (37:45)

    Highlights:

    From the very beginning, human cells are bejng supported by bacteria. (14:15) People are too busy saying we are meant to dominate nature, when really, we are at the mercy of nature the entire time.k (14:45) A human is never existent without the environment it’s in.

    Today we’re talking a little about an experience we had with the human nervous system. Maybe we’ll get on somebody’s nerves a little, maybe not. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    This whole collection of nerves is providing your human experience. (4:15) Even as he’s dead, he treats him with the utmost respect. (13:00) The identification of one’s self with the body, on one level, creates a possibility for experience, but on another level, it creates a trap inside that experience.

    Eat Food

    · Alive and Free

    With all the clamoring voices declaring the latest health fads and superfoods, so many of which seem to be in contradiction to each other, how is one to know what to do? Do we follow the simple advice of Michael Pollan (Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.)? Or do we micro measure every morsel for optimum productivity and neurological function? Lots to discuss, and, as always, with an eye to making things simpler. Have a listen.

    Highlights:

    Nowadays you can walk into almost anywhere and see the teenagers have all the signs of being youthful, but there’s something off with their physique. (5:50) There are a lot of experts today that claim to know what health is. But when I step back and look at it, it just seems to be that what we’re claiming health is, is really distorted. (9:25) People define freedom as the ability to do whatever you want to do, but I’ve suggested the following definition; that freedom is the ability to not do what you don’t want to do. (21:29) It doesn’t have so much to do with your genetics, but the way you learned to eat. So if you change the way you eat, you can actually change what the outcomes are. (32:55)

    Everybody has expectations for a holiday when they don’t have expectations for an average Tuesday. (2:50) With traditions, is this the kind of experience that you want to have, or are you just putting yourself on autopilot and trying to knuckle through the holiday? (8:25) It’s almost like saying, “take a holiday from the holiday”. (27:30) The holidays are a chance for everyone to catch their breath, not just one person. (31:25)
