It goes beyond self-improvement, philosophy, spirituality, belief, and even modern science to explore the questions we all ask but seldom expect to answer.

Along the way, you’ll discover how to foster sustainable change both within yourself and in the world around you. From deep philosophical discussions to practical applications like yoga and mindfulness, and even explorations of the evolving cannabis industry’s role in well-being, the content emphasizes community, collaboration, and actions that highlight our interconnectedness.

Going Nowhere w/ Levi & Ray | Episode 2 34:45

cách đây 23 ngày trước34:45

Fear isn't the enemy—it's just misunderstood. In this raw and insightful conversation, we explore the hidden ways fear shapes our decisions, our relationships, and even our identities. From the trap of denying fear to the subtle psychosis of mistaking thoughts for reality, we dive into how stories we tell ourselves become prisons we don't even see. We unpack the emotional weight of self-judgment, the illusion of control, and why karaoke might just be the ultimate metaphor for life. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you think you are and who you might become—this one’s for you. Let go, tune in, and discover the power of presence beyond the story. [00:00:00] Fear as a constant presence and the importance of recognizing it rather than denying it. [00:02:46] How fear of success and attachment to personal narratives stop us from trying new things. [00:04:19] Denying fear creates sub-stories that mask the real reasons we hesitate. [00:06:14] Vilifying our past choices blocks us from understanding the value of those experiences. [00:07:31] The carrot-and-stick mentality as a valid step in moving through fear. [00:09:36] Physical pain from past overexertion and the insight gained through consequence. [00:11:39] The distinction between pain and suffering, and how storytelling creates suffering. [00:13:00] Fear as distortion on the glass of perception—clarity comes from observing it directly. [00:14:10] Karaoke as a metaphor for being present and letting go of fear and self-judgment. [00:15:58] Everyday psychosis: mistaking thoughts for reality and how it separates us from life. [00:18:11] How being present and dropping your story helps others let go of theirs. [00:20:50] Saying the “wrong thing” often leads to unexpected, meaningful human connection. [00:22:56] Letting go doesn’t mean recklessness—it means trusting yourself without micromanaging. [00:25:30] Spiritual paths as detours to eventual self-honesty—insight isn’t mystical, it’s honest. [00:28:35] A karaoke business encounter reveals how others’ fear-based stories shape reactions.…

What if everything you thought you knew about "being in the flow" was just another illusion? In this conversation, we dive into the deeper reality behind belief, hope, and the way we cling to false certainty for comfort. From breaking down the myth of a "perfect" Jesus to challenging the very idea of a creator, we push past surface-level spirituality into the raw, often uncomfortable process of actually waking up. Can you ever truly be "out of the flow"? And what happens when you stop resisting what’s already happening? This one will challenge your assumptions—if you let it. [00:00:00] Introduction to the new series with Levi and Ray, embracing uncertainty in conversation. [00:01:04] Rethinking Jesus—was he just a human who got lost in his own story? [00:04:32] The illusion of government integrity and how we project unrealistic ideals onto leaders. [00:06:18] The fine line between belief and delusion—when belief becomes unquestionable. [00:08:06] How hope can become a trap that stops action and keeps us stuck. [00:09:43] The misunderstood concept of "flow"—it's not about ease but surrendering resistance. [00:11:53] Challenging the first cause argument—does existence even need a beginning? [00:14:17] Why the "simulation theory" still assumes an external creator instead of recognizing self-awareness. [00:17:45] The fear of responsibility—realizing you are the creative potential of the universe. [00:20:41] How attachment to opinions and expectations creates suffering. [00:24:40] The power of small interactions—why a simple conversation can shift everything. [00:26:51] Overcoming fear in social interactions—why are we afraid to break the script? [00:28:40] How dropping expectations makes social interactions effortless. [00:31:41] The connection between stretching and emotional release—sitting with discomfort. [00:33:52] Wrapping up…

How many times have you burned a bridge and assumed it was gone forever? What if the bridge was never real to begin with? In this episode, we challenge the obsession with "doing the right thing" and explore how false certainty, self-concept, and regret keep us trapped in cycles of attachment and avoidance. We dive into the dangers of idolizing others, the fear of making mistakes, and the liberation that comes from embracing uncertainty.

What if everything you believe about yourself is just a story—a fragile illusion reinforced by fear, validation, and the craving for certainty? In this first episode of Season 7, we dismantle the identity trap and expose the hidden ties between self-perception and suffering. We explore how the idea of "God" itself is shaped by thought and how true freedom lies not in seeking external answers, but in questioning the narratives that define you. This isn't about feeling better or finding comfort—it's about breaking the cycle of self-deception and stepping into the unknown. Are you ready to let go of who you think you are? "Proof That You're God" is available in Print and Digital format on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DKCMR183/ [00:00:00] Introduction and reflections on returning for a new season.

Other topics in this incredible episode include (but are not limited to) childhood, parenthood, loneliness, psychedelics, energy, god, the devil, and more.
