Alex and Amanda explore how very ancient what we call "our thoughts" are. The archetypal inheritance of mankind masquerading as our personal experience.

Vast story arcs we cannot see in the midst but upon reflection are pointing to how humans have tried to make sense of the chaos of life for millenia.

“The timeless empty streets of mind are flooded with ancient daydreams…” Nancy Nethercut

There is a way in which, as we grow older and are conditioned through fear to hide, to act a certain way in which we believe is acceptable, and this tendency to hold back or temper our experience becomes very very painful and innocently misunderstood.

So we go off on the search for permission, for acceptance, yet nothing really works while we are acting from the mind’s learned premise that we are wrong and imperfect. Listen in as we explore what it’s like to BE with abandon, maybe for the first time in a long time.

“The only way to handle danger is to face it. If you start getting frightened of it then you make it worse because you project onto it all kinds of bogies and threats which don’t exist in it at all.

Whenever you meet a ghost, don’t run away. Because the ghost will capture the substance of your fear and materialise itself out of your own substance. It will kill you eventually because it will take over all your own vitality.

So, then, whenever confronted with a ghost walk straight into it. And it will disappear.”

— Alan Watts

Alex and Amanda explore how our mind and thought patterns seem to be like ghosts that haunt our lives. The more attention and focus the more real these specters show up in our experience.

And as Alan Watts reminds us, the only reality of a ghost is our fear of it. If we never look under the bed, those monsters are far more real.

Facing head on any feeling that arises challenges the very reality, the very substance we have embued upon it.

Amanda and Alex explore how some experiences in life can have a profound impact on how we see the world

Alex and Amanda explore the prominent, yet sometimes hidden (and very painful) story that we have been damaged by circumstances of our life and we must work to fix ourselves.

“The secret is that you are already a completely whole, perfect person. You are not damaged goods, you are not incomplete, you are not flawed, you are not unfinished, you do not need remodeling, fixing, polishing or major rehabilitation. You already have within you everything you need to live a wonderful life. You have common sense, wisdom, genius creativity, humor, self esteem...you are pure potential...you are missing nothing.”

In this episode, Alex and Amanda explore our relationship with certainty and how feeling secure in our knowledge can sometimes be painful. Certainty can exclude possibilities from arising.

Can anything in life really be described as: fixed, settled, dependable, reliable, inevitable, detined, indisputable?

“It's what we think we know that keeps us from learning.”

― Claude Bernard

"Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd."Voltaire

Tao Te Ching – Verse 48

In pursuit of knowledge,
every day something is added.
In the practice of the Tao,
every day something is dropped.
Less and less do you need to force things,
until finally you arrive at non-action.
When nothing is done,
nothing is left undone.

Can you remember when you stopped playing? Did you ever? Listen in as we untangle the concepts of “Adulthood” and the strange assumptions and agreements that we live in. What if being a “responsible adult” is the same sense of make-believe we had as children? What is the deal with the concept of “work/life balance”?
