When we first achieve consciousness, most thinking people quickly realize that we are faced with a tremendous conundrum. On the one hand, we grasp that it is our birthright, our natural state, to be free to choose our own path in life; and yet, on the other hand, we understand that liberty, that emancipation, is a distant and perhaps unachievable goal. Everyone needs to have an income to live. The only question is at what price?

Episode 128: The problem of perception and perspective has been faced by mankind since time began. Now in the modern era, we can find "common ground" with others if we listen to what the other person is truly saying.

In this episode, I explore the subtle but powerful difference between perception and perspective. Through a story about two men arguing over a scratch on a pair of smart glasses, I reflect on how easily misunderstandings arise—and how often we assume others see the world as we do. From family conflicts to global politics, I share why stepping back and listening matters. If we can accept that our view isn’t the only view, maybe we can start building a more peaceful world. Because understanding begins with humility.

Episode 127: All of us can find our own joy and happiness in life through belief in oneself and the commitment to work on my self development.

In this episode, I challenge the idea that life is just suffering. I share how joy can be found in simple moments—birds in the park, laughter, meaningful work—and how stress often comes from within. Drawing on personal stories and the wisdom of philosophers like Aristotle, Epicurus, and Jung, I explore how happiness is something we build through effort and self-understanding. Life is your own to shape, and when you truly believe that, joy becomes possible. Critical thinking, as always, is the key.

Episode 126: Never give up on your dreams! You must, however, be realistic and understand that the fulfillment of any aspiration requires training and a minimum of 10,000 hours of experience. Then, all is possible.

In this episode, I reflect on the power of dreams—and why we must never let others talk us out of them. Through stories of students, artists, and a young woman with Paris in her heart, I explore how our dreams reveal our purpose, sharpen with time, and connect us to something greater. Life is hard, yes, but we have a choice: to be the hero or the victim. So I say, protect your dreams, nurture them, and let them unfold. Because each of us is truly unique—and that’s where the magic begins.

Episode 125: We all want adventure in life, but few of us seize the opportunity when it is presented -- why not? This is because we are taught to "play it safe" and never take any risks. The self, however, suffers if I do not see myself as a champion. I must simply be "a little bit brave" and the hero's journey will present itself. The choice is up to me.

In this episode, I share my journey walking the Camino de Santiago—900 kilometers, 2 million steps, and a lifetime of reflection. What started as a physical challenge became a deep exploration of belief, identity, and possibility. I talk about the hero’s journey, the wisdom of Pablo Neruda, and the realization that life can be vast or small depending on how we choose to see it. It’s not about conquering the world—it’s about conquering the self. And yes, all is possible.

Episode 124: Look for the good in an allegedly negative world and you will find it. Positive events will, of course, happen along with pernicious occurrences. That said: you can frame reality in the way you want. Go for the most powerful and enduring attitude. You know what it is.

Lately, the news feels darker than ever—but in this episode, I reflect on why that might be and why our daily lives often tell a different story. From Carl Jung’s sunrise musings in Africa to a personal tech mishap that turned into a small victory, I explore how fear, community, and optimism shape our experience of the world. I also revisit the tale of Robin Hood and what it says about our innate desire to do good. Join me as I challenge the negativity, embrace gratitude, and remind us all to think critically and look for the light.

Episode 123: I must be a crusader of me. If I adopt the model of determination, courage, and resilience, I will overcome the many trials and tribulations in life -- or at least fight those demons to a standstill.

In this episode, I explore the idea of life as a personal crusade—a journey toward self-discovery, faith, and inner strength. As someone who gained consciousness in the chaos of the 2020s, I’ve wrestled with the question: what model should I live by? I choose the Crusader—not for conquest, but for transformation. Along the way, I confront my demons, embrace chivalry, and walk the silent mountains with David as we prepare for El Camino. I may never finish my mission, but I’m on the path. And that, to me, is sacred.

Episode 122: Let us appreciate the unique individuals in society. They give our civilization color and meaning.

In this episode, I reflect on what it means to be truly unique in a world that often pushes conformity. From my rebellious youth in 1950s Canada—blue jeans, perms, and potato-pierced ears—to encounters with eccentric souls and societal shifts, I share stories that celebrate individuality and caution against idleness. Whether it’s tattoos, towers of Babel, or critical thinking, I believe we must honor the colorful characters who make life vibrant. Be different, but be engaged. You matter.

Episode 121: Of all the qualities we possess as human beings, time is the most valuable. It can never be replaced and thus must be spent well.

I reflect on the value of time—my time—and how easily we lose sight of it. From street scenes to student talks, from spiritual apathy to bureaucratic drift, I explore why we must reclaim our awareness and document our presence. Time is fleeting. Let’s make it count.

Episode 120: Find your happiness through your dreams and self-reflection. Take time to nurture your soul!

Are we truly happier today than generations past? In this episode, I reflect on the pressures of modern life—from stressed-out students to the relentless grind of education, work, and relationships. I explore how losing a clear social path has led many to feel lost, and how reconnecting with nature, honoring our uniqueness, and documenting our dreams might offer a way forward.

Episode 119: We are all in control of our emotions, both the good and the bad. It is up to me to live a fulfilling life and aspire for contentment.

In this episode, I dive into one of life’s biggest questions: is happiness really the goal? I share why I believe the journey matters more than fleeting joy, and how contentment, self-awareness, and daily intention shape a fulfilling life. From morning mindset to emotional resilience, I explore how we can own our experiences—good or bad—and live with purpose. It’s not about chasing happiness; it’s about creating meaning.

Episode 118: If you want to live to a ripe old age, learn to be initially experimental, but eventually thoughtful and reflective. Life is ascendent only if you purify your being -- physically, spiritually, and philosophically.

In this episode, I reflect on what it really means to live a long, meaningful life. From smoking and drinking to relationships and regrets, I share my own journey of experimentation, growth, and eventual transformation. I talk about the importance of honest guidance for young people, the power of critical thinking, and the deep connection we can find beyond ourselves. Aging, I’ve found, isn’t a descent—it’s an ascent. Let’s explore how to live fully, wisely, and with purpose.

Episode 117: We must all learn to commune with nature. To do this properly, it is necessary to respect oneself and the natural world. We are partners together on the earth.

In this episode, I reflect on our deep need to reconnect with nature—even in the midst of concrete jungles. From a squirrel’s daring journey across power lines to quiet walks through mountain trails, I explore how the natural world restores us, grounds us, and reminds us of our place in something bigger. I touch on everything from cockroaches to bamboo forests, plastic pollution to poetry, and why respecting nature is not just necessary—it’s transformative. Tune in for a thoughtful journey into the wild, and maybe a little soul restoration too.

Episode 116: Take your "brand out" in public or on a date and see what happens. This is an important way you will see whether you are presenting your brand correctly or not.

In this episode, I explore what it really means to have a personal brand—not as a sales pitch, but as a reflection of who we are at our core. I share how every time we step out into the world, we’re taking our brand with us—our values, our integrity, our story. From getting ready for a night out to making your bed in the morning, it’s all part of showing up with intention.
